This is the place to ask any questions relating to mental health, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, Bipolar, schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, OCD, general mental health issues and also relationship issues, careers, issues around abuse and psychotherapy. As I do not pretend to know everything it would be fabulous to have other member's contributions and thoughts also.

Thank you!

Thank You,
I have been feeling a bit anxious and nervous over the last few months and did not know what some of the physical things i was feeling until I realized that some of my symptoms are related to stress and anxiety. Over the past year my father passed away after an illness, a daughter of mine has been battling with a medical ailment for 14 month now and the medicines are taking it's toll. Just 2 weeks ago my best friend and business partner suffered a minor stroke, he is on the mend but I was and am afraid for him also. Also I constantly worry about money. I have been self employed for 26 years and have had my ups and downs. I guess everything just caught up with me at once. I feel more in control now than a few months ago, but not where I want to be.

It really has been eye opening, for myself, over the past several years, learning the connections of emotional health and physical health.
Welcome to PC, I hope you are able to find support you need.
Sorry to hear of your father. It's tough losing a parent, my mom passed several years ago. I knew, then, I needed to monitor my own stress levels, as I've my own illness that exacerbates with stress.
Hope your daughter is ok?
