Anxiety disorder after stroke
Has anyone had any experience in dealing with this. I'm trying to find my way around the site. I'm new here. It's not easy finding the right path as I get very confused any help is welcome. I apologise if I'm on the wrong group

Hey
I don't know if this is the right place.
Trying new things can be scary and challenging and even feel wrong.
Reconnecting with a part of ourselves that feels capable and safe couldn’t hurt.
That was we’re taking our power back and able to feel peaceful.
I like having a safety plan - calling a helpline of some kind, distracting myself and looking into resources that could help.
Is there something like that you could do?
@Collette27 Although stroke effects are unpredictable, mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and pseudo-bulbar affect are all too common. Studies suggest that simply having a stroke increases the risk of anxiety, depression or both.
Ooops 😎 I'm back, still breathing. Got me a few mobility issues. I'm doing ok. Life kinda threw me a few curve balls. I'm glad to be back, it's been a little isolating.
