In need of some support

[DonJenkins]

Hello all,

My name is Don, just want to introduce myself. I have been going through a painful separation with my wife of ten years and noticing it start to affect other areas of my life. I'm having troubles concentrating at work and wake up in the night sometimes with numbness in my hands and arms. Could this be anxiety? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Don! Absolutely could be and most likely is anxiety. Separation from a spouse is hard to deal with and 10 years is a long time to have been with someone. That's obviously a major life change and a common trigger of anxiety. You could try talking to your dr or even trying some things on your own at first. Try to surround yourself with supportive and positive family and friends. Get out there and try something new and fun you've maybe been wanting to do. Good luck! :)
