Hello Lybrate user I can understand what you might be going through and how it might be impacting your daily living such as mood, sleep etc. As you have mentioned above that your past and present life events are stressful and may be due to low stress tolerance and high emotional sensitivity you might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety. This conditioning can be corrected and the symptoms could be managed by consulting a clinical psychologist for regular psychotherapy sessions. One can learn better coping strategies and increase one’s tolerance abilities by various methods. Try maintaining a healthy lifestyle such as diet, exercise, sleep routine etc. Combination of medecines and psychotherapy is found to be quite helpful in treatment of anxiety disorders. For any further guidance you can also reach out to me through the Lybrate app.
