Anxiety need help
Hello!
I am new here and just have had so much anxiety. I had ptsd as a child from a car accident and I really learned to maintain it but lately I have just had so much anxiety over my kids, myself and my husband and I’m constantly praying to keep us happy, healthy, strong. It’s something that calms me. We have had health scares and I just worry a lot.
I also got news my drunk stepdad has to move back in after my mom kicked him out over 3 years ago. He is a problem and has fought with my husband in the past. All this has caused so much stress that my health is being bothered by it.
what do I do how do I cope?
@peachAcres7086 that must me tough talking with a therapist is a good option otherwise you can talk about your worries to your husband or loved ones. Personally what helps me cope is telling myself that these things are temporary and everything will pass. I hope you feel better soon.
thank you for that. I pray and calm myself but I just have the hardest time calming down. It’s rough.

It’s terrible having to constantly worry about health issues and now in addition to it also about your stepdad. I could imagine it leaves you tired and exhausted. I'm glad that you find comfort in praying.
