Finz sometimes a person needs a good cry to get the emotions out. I do agree that stress does impact us a lot. I am having a lot of family problems too and the range of emotions I am feeling is very hard. It is like it takes all my strength to fight the daily pain so to take on more is hard.
I am glad you are feeling in a better place. Has your family ever thought of doing family therapy or could maybe your current therapist have a session with everyone? I did this with my family and for us it did not work out so great but I don't regret doing it.I learned a lot about how I feel and how to cope better. I also know families that it really helped. I think when something impacts a family to talk about the feelings,what each person needs are,etc can really help.
Hope today is better
