Newbie - feeling lost & overwhelmed

Newbie - feeling lost & overwhelmed

Hi. Just signed up tonight have no idea where to start. Been feeling tired, overwhelmed and on edge these past 3 months. Ever since my dad has been in & out of hospital . He is not too bad now, but still experiences health problems. Even though doctors say he's ok for the moment, i myself just can't seem to relax/calm down. I feel always on edge & feel like i need to be in standby mode.

Also due to time lost because of numerous emergencies i feel like I'm still trying to catch up on work & study. And feels like i have to put personal life on hold.

I don't know what to say, but I am a student too and know how hard it is to keep focused when you have other responsibilities in the background.

@Mez79 Hope your Dad will be totally fine soon. Even doctors says he is ok. so try to concentrate on your studies now. Always think positive. Dad will be alright soon. Nothing will be happen.
