“STRESS. Constantly worrying, stressing, being in fight/flight mode and having cortisol spikes. Take control of this and everything else in your life will get better.”
“The biggest thing I haven’t seen commented yet is undiagnosed anxiety, especially with just a complete absence of (healthy) coping mechanisms, ESPECIALLY in older men. The amount of 50-80 year old men I take care of who are absolute wrecks mentally, who have just literally never learned how to shut their brain off, is insane. They don’t even understand what anxiety IS. It’s very sad and hard on them, their families, and everyone who takes care of them.”
