Anxiety

[Conwa71]

Hi

I had a bout of workplace anxiety over 15 years ago within the community services sector. It took time to get over it, but I worked through it. Now in 23 it has come back. There has been the same consistent workplace stress. However there have been significant home events with a child in the last few years and with their own intense challenges.  With a renovation and work with overtime. Recently my normal coping skills coupled with home life and keeping everything else in check. I have very limited coping skills with even small things. Even with my child with their significant issues. I have been so tight cheated and wanting to escape everything. As a Dad with a family I know I can't quit for a better word. I just don't know how to make myself feel better. I don't want to come across as a whinger but I just don't know. It's impacting silently with me. Appreciate any insights, I know it could be said with the offload thing but I can't off load my family.

Hi 

I understand ur workplace pressures stress I’m same how did urs start ? And what has triggered u? 
running away from ur family/ child is not fair on them while it seems like an easy escape it’s not actually u can quit ur job find another . Leaving ur child / family is not even an option. Find things to refocus ur energy outside of work myself I find parenting hard  sometimes but I haven’t considered leaving I can’t say I haven’t had dark thoughts but I think of the impact it would have on my child if i followed these dark thoughts and it has never taken control . Find time to focus, reconnect with your children and family.
