If you are upset, there is always a reason.

Symptoms make sense.

Your body may also be trying to tell you something: back pain, joint pain, infections, recurring injuries. Headaches, stomachaches, irritations. Chronic fatigue, eating disorders, mood swings.

Some words to look out for: I can’t keep on like this, I don’t know what to do, I can’t take it anymore, it’s too much for me.

Too much is a cry for help. Here you are, unable to contain the anxiety: the doubt of losing the battle against overwhelming sadness, the terror of being alone, the worry of past and future mistakes, the panic of losing control, the apprehension of too much change or no change at all, the fear of not being able to cope.

The good thing is it doesn’t have to be that way.
