The reason I choose this topic because life changes was one of the major sources of stress in my life. Stress had a severe adverse effect on my health. I was getting married and also moving to another Continent. This had a tremendous demand on my body both physically and mentally. I was unable to differentiate between the stress of getting married and the stress from moving to another Continent. Stress of moving five thousand miles away from my family and friends and having to start everything fresh. I was very anxious to get the move done and to get started with the new life and new family and friends. I was preparing myself for moving five thousand miles away and I am not going to be as close to my family as I was before. By not being emotional and it would be easy for me to move and get started with my new life with my new family and friends.

It was 16th April 2000, the day I got married. It was raining in the morning and the sun came out in the afternoon to bless me for the big day. Everyone was busy with their own chores and getting themselves ready for the wedding. I was getting ready in my parent’s bedroom with one of my friend, the beautician and t

As the time came closer to the end of the day, I felt very nervous and withdrawn for what was going on around me. I was savoring the moment and was missing everyone as if though I had moved on with my life in another Continent. Eventually my family wished me luck for the future and I was on my way to my husband’s relative’s house to meet them individually and perform a post wedding ceremony. After the ceremony we were on our honeymoon. Soon the honeymoon came to an end and we were back in London and the reality was very hard to grasp. My husband was back in Vancouver, Canada. I was to uproot and follow him a month later. I was busy finishing my unfinished projects at work before I resigned. I was physically and mentally drained by the ordeal of moving to another Continent and away from my family. As the departure date came closer I had severe migraines, neck aches and general body aches from being exhausted as I had a lot of finish before the big move. I was unable to function as I did before due to the constant headaches and earaches. I went to my doctor’s and I was referred to a physical therapist for the pain management. Eventually I was unable to even walk for few yards as I lost my sense of balance and co-ordination i.e. vertigo, which is excess of fluid built up in
