Money worries
Worrying about money is something many of us can relate to, and it’s completely understandable how it can take a toll on our mental well-being. At the same time, if you're struggling with a mental health issue, it can make managing finances even more challenging.
Financial anxiety
As the cost of living continues to rise, many people may feel overwhelmed by the pressure it creates. This can lead to a range of emotions that impact our mental well-being, including stress, worry, financial anxiety, low mood or depression, and sleep problems. These feelings can also manifest into guilt or shame, as well as lowering our self-esteem.

Maintain a healthy routine
Stick to your usual routine and don't skip meals. Financial stress can trigger lack of appetite so it’s important to maintain a healthy balanced diet. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine to help you wind down before bed.
Stay active
Keeping active makes you healthier in mind and body. It can also help you sleep. Get some fresh air and go for a walk to distract your mind.

Talk to someone you can trust
Talk to someone you trust about your feelings, like a family member or a friend. You don’t have to disclose your personal situation, but it can help to share your worries and anxieties with others to help take the load off your shoulders.
Support with ieso
ieso treats a range of common mental health issues including anxiety and worry, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, sleep problems, and stress. Online therapy can be especially useful for those who are unable to travel or find it harder to leave the house because sessions take place online from the comfort of your home, from your smart phone or tablet, or anywhere where you connect to the internet.
If you’re experiencing difficulties, it’s important to speak with your GP first. They will be able to talk you through different support options suitable for your needs.
