Maybe consider joining the private "Mets group" here - there you can discuss all issues in private with members - I'll tag @Riki_BCNA - who should be able to 'join you up'?
We have a helpline here 1800500258 that you can call & chat and maybe ask your GP for a referral to a counsellor or psychologist who may be able to give you coping strategies if you feel stressed. xx
