I am 54 years of age. During this past year, I have been diagnosed with cervical degeneration (c4) which led to positional vertigo. This has considerably affected my confidence. The ongoing pandemic has left me feeling especially isolated. I haven't stepped out for nearly 8 months which made me feel estranged from my siblings. Off late, my entire family along with my sister's family have been victims to covid-19 infection. With the history of mild asthma, this attack resulted in anxiety - experiencing physical symptoms such as: -palpitations, -gastritis, -head reeling, -mild chest tightness -insomnia - occasional fullness of ear psychological symptoms include: -restlessness -preoccupied manner with uncontrollable overlapping thoughts (over thinking) -fear of future -ennui and mortality associated distress -loneliness as a result of a recently married daughter and a son bound to study abroad -sole ownership of all responsibilities being the eldest sibling. (burdened by thinking that only i'm the sole caretaker of everything) -dread at dusk -irritability and mood swings at times however, I have no family problems or financial pressure. Kindly advise on the course of action further.
