As a 51-year-old man, I’ve always prided myself on being able to handle stress. But lately, it’s been taking a toll on my mental and physical health. I find myself feeling anxious, having trouble sleeping, and even experiencing physical symptoms like headaches and stomach issues. I know I need to find better ways to cope with these stressors, but it’s been a struggle to find what works for me. I’m reaching out to this community for support and suggestions on how I can better manage my stress and take care of my overall well-being. Any advice from others who have been in similar situations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
