Hello all,
After a rough nights sleep, I came across this website and thought this might be a helpful space for me.
Im Stewart, a 52-year-old from Kent, and Ive been struggling with anxiety and depression, mainly caused by work stress. While Ive experienced this before, Im finding it particularly hard to cope this time.
I often have a knot in my stomach, and my anxiety can last for minutes or hours before returning unexpectedly. Sleep has been difficult, and Ive recently started medication while also focusing on breathing techniques.
At the moment, Im working from home because I cant face being in the workplace, but Im also unsure if continuing to work is helping or making things worse. That said, stopping entirely isnt an easy option due to financial concerns.
I try to exercise when I can, but on difficult days, I at least make an effort to go for a walk.
On top of everything, my wifes grandson, who I was incredibly close to, recently moved to Dubai with his parents and baby brother. We used to see him every two weeks, but now its only every 2-3 months. They left on November 29th, and I miss him deeplyit feels like a part of me is missing every day.
Im hoping to find tips and support from others here, and Im looking forward to hopefully feeling better in the coming weeks. The last couple of weeks have been especially tough, but I know Im not alone in this.
Wishing you all a good day.
Stewart
