Unable to relax

[iwannagetbetter]

Lots of professionals and even family, often tell me to relax.

I am unable to relax. As soon as my tush hits the couch, I am up again and stressing myself out.

I feel like when I get relaxed, sadness comes up and I can't handle it. I have heard this could happen.

If anyone is going through this, can you let me know how you finally let yourself relax and how it felt?
