What exactly do you need to word? Surely this is a matter for your physician, not for strangers on AN.

Have you seen a therapist about this? You will have stress no matter what you do. I saw a therapist for almost a year to work through some issues I had with self esteem, anxiety and destructive thinking. It helped tremendously.
