Im sure that almost everyone with Spinal Cord Injury has at sometime, or do , suffer from stress or anxiety. Physical effects of SCI are focused on but not so much the mental and emotional strain.
Dealing with stress over long periods of time, will have a negative effect on the body at some point. Do you have any stress management that help?

And what you have told is absolutely true..I suffer from very much stress and anxiety in each and everything that I come across. I can’t manage it even for small things. I shout at my children always and this is really making them as well as me very upset. I even fear whether children would hate me for this reason. After opening up to my sister, she has advised me to consult with an orthopedic surgeon at AESM,Toronto.She says like physiotherapy would help me. But I haven’t ever tried this and hence Idk anything regarding the same. Has physio got any role in dealing with the stress or anxiety?? I really doubt! Pls help.
Hi Linda, could you be more specific about what you feel is behind the frustration and anger? Physiotherapy may help depending on whats bothering you. It's really hard to help without knowing more about you, and your situation.
I've been there, and still find myself angry, usually first thing in the morning. I recognize it now for what it is and be careful not to let it out on my family. There is so much crap associated with an SCI, any reasonable person would find it extremely frustrating. Your not alone.
