I can’t manage stress at all. Even when I sleep and feel stressed, it makes my symptoms worse.
Interesting study. It separated social stress from non social stress.
Stress is my Achilles heel. Since moving to be near my daughter, in September 2017, I’ve been a lot less acutely stressed than I was in Essex.The truth is I never got much support when stressed between 1973- 2017.There was little in the way of compassion,empathy, and support. I was seen as being an awkward and troublesome patient. Nowadays though my care co shows genuine concern if I dip a bit mental health wise. My daughter was instrumental in making sure I 'm treated much better here than I was prior to moving here.
If I don’t have 4 hrs to myself each day I can’t handle stress.
