Chronic worrying

5 replies

Merseymum1980 · 05/10/2025 21:55

Don't know if im in the wrong section.
I seem to be suffering with extreme chronic worrying.
My stbxp is moving out soon, loads of changes with my business, I think I'm starting menopause and a private issue.
I keep chronically worrying. Im struggling financially with business changes. Ive gained tons of weight
Im worrying my ex partner will not move out or will cause issues as he is being nice at the moment.
But I get something in my head and I worry about it all day to the point I have an extreme headache now.
I've not been mentally present with my ds due to it all weekend.
Its become ridiculous, it's like a loop. I wake up at 450am every morning religiously with worry.
Ive worked solidly for years to build my business and its barley profiting. Ive decided to look for employment ,just everything is overwhelming at the moment.
Any tips or advice please on this worrying, would be welcome x

Forgot to add my blood pressure is high which is something I've never suffered with.
Now im also worrying if the worrying will bring bad things into existence (a friend suggested that may be the case).
Then people keep sending me videos about digital id and immigration etc and sending me into a frenzy.
Plus prices of food and gas council tax etc. Its just so overwhelming

You are going through a stressful time in your life which definitely can cause anxiety. Also peri/ menopause is an absolute head wreck for me and has increased my anxiety levels.

Do you think it would be worth talking to your gp to seek out treatment options?

Thank you, i will contact GP. Last time I went they referred me to talking therapies which wasn't great
