Can anxiety kill you?

Today's world is full of stressful situations. I am retired, had 2 liver transplants so far caused from a rare version of Hep C. Took years to find a med to cure it. Discovered our son had a rare disability with a disease called Neman Pick C, a fat process problem, when he was a senior in high school. He continues to live with us as an adult. I feel at times I feel like I am tied up in a tight ball ready to explode. I think about end of life at times and worry about bring a burden to my family. I have already faced death twice, three times if you include a major surgery a few months before my first transplant to stop internal bleeding in my stomach that started suddenly. I worry about my son's care after I pass and his mom passes. We doing ok financially but I think about how a crisis can cause financial drain too. Now my wife is having beast exams because of a small spot they found. A few years ago I also diagnosed with SFN in my feet and they hurt as well as my legs at times. I love to walk places so now what? Life can really sucks at times. Over the past 24 years with dealing with my transplants and 15 years with our son's illness, I wish I could just disappear at times to a beach or mountain for a month. I have spoken to many doctors because of my organ transplants require you to be mentally stable so you don't intentionally harm yourself. Otherwise they will give the gift of life to another patient. This, added to my job as a professional in Information Technology field requiring many extra efforts and hours. I used to run Little League teams and a YMCA group for kids. Now it's more humdrum and I feel like I am wasting away. Stress impacts a person wheather they are real busy to being idle.

You will probably need to talk to your Doctor about seeing a Therapist or get on Anxiety medication. Can I ask you what is wrong with 58?
