Hi all,


I'm brand new to this forum but thought I would try and talk about some of the issues I'm currently facing that I think are contributing to some sort of anxiety or low moods. I'm living away from home with my partner as I go to University and he has a full time job in a call centre as he was asked to leave University last year but has reapplied for this September for his last year (of which we are currently awaiting the decision). My partner frequently complains about his current job, and although I know he hates it he comes home every night thinking he is one step closer to being let go from that job. He is also under a lot of pressure as his Grandmother is terminally ill - I'm really trying to be the most supportive person but I'm really struggling as I've never really had anybody lean one before and I feel like I'm also trying to deal with the stress of moving house in 9 days and also working as many hours as possible on minimum wage. This isn't comparable to a lot of things on here but I thought that talking about it might help.

yes.....talking about it is always a good thing. Do you talk to each other as well?
The thing to remember and I never knew this before , but everyone usually thinks it's only "you" that's dealing with stress and anxiety and what have you. It's not the case! So many suffer wayyyy worse than we are, but if you feel overwhelmed, talk to your family doctor. Taking some meds to get through a tough time in life is nothing to ashamed of. If it weren't for the meds, I feel I wouldn't be here today.

Take Care...
