Hi,

I read your query and can understand you concern regarding you mother and wife's condition. That explains the stress you are currently in.

The symptoms being worried, anxious and tensed and not being able to sleep in your case might be due to adjustment disorder. As you have mentioned that you can't do anything from England for the directly. But, importantly you can take care of your health and make sure your remain fine and healthy so that you can be in a condition to help the whenever required.

I would suggest you seek a psychiatric consultation for your condition so that you can be started on treatment. The medication would include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like esciatlopram or sertraline with a short term course of benzodiazepines for controlling anxiety and better sleep, which are all prescription drugs.

In addition, you can start exercising daily, which will help you relax. Discussing your problems with someone close regularly can also help in making you feel better.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
