Hello

Just an update on my anxiety levels really!  To say I feel stressed is an under-statement.  Don't get me wrong - I am most of the time a glass half full type of person - just at the moment there is a crack in my glass and my happiness is slowing escaping through it.  Where to start - well I changed jobs at the start of the year (stress 1), my dad had passed away 2 years ago and I still feel bad about it - he was 90 and had dementia issues so he is in the best place (stress 2), I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism which means I have to undergo surgery on my throat in the next 2 months - thankfully it is non-malignant growth but may affect my vocal chords leaving me with a hoarse voice (stress 3), general lack of funds as on sick pay but now am trying to manage in a month what I once earned in a week (stress 4), relationship strain (understandably as I am always moping around and not really motivated to do very much - stress 5), may have to look for somewhere new to live soon (stress 6) and last but by no means least - my partner may lose his job over the next 6 months (stress 7).  All in all it has been an eventful year.  Oh and one more worry is that my Aunt (my dad's sister) may fall at any time and be back in hospital as she has been sent home from hospital too early in my opinion and not able to do some things for herself - so adding to my stress levels as I have to now speak to her every day to make sure she's OK.  Sorry for rambling but just need someone to talk to and give reassurance that all will be OK one day.  I would like to be on here to support others with similar problems too. Look forward to hearing from you.
