Family member triggers anxiety

Happy New Year!
For years now Ive been dealing with a mentally ill father ( bi-polar, depression, personality disorder, etc..)
He has been verbally abusive my whole life (Im 39) and finally put an end to it a year and a half ago by cutting him off. But, he is relentless and emails and calls at least twice a week. He just threatened me last night to call me until i answer or he will then call my job. I feel hew is the root of all my anxiety issues. I am now feeling the anxiety and it pisses me off that he affects me this way. I do not want to drug myself to deal with him! Ive spoken to him on numerous occasions about our relationship and the problems he's causing in my life....but he doesnt hear a thing i say. Any advice out there in dealing with this type of personality?
Thanx,
Sunshine

I do see a therapist, she has helped me come a long way. I left a message for her to call me. My parents have been divorced since Im a kid...and last night he called my mother and left a message asking where I am....just crazy..Sometimes I just wish I could go "poof" and he's not there. Thanks for listening.

You can also put a block on his calls. Then he will have to stop bothering you.
Try not to let it effect you to the point of stress. Mind over matter at this point. You can do this. The stress only makes you more anxious.

Block his calls and his emails. Don't answer the phone calls until you have them blocked, and don't read the emails. If you do, this will only upset you further.

Best wishes to you.

Honestly, although you shouldn't change your life entirely, you may find it helpful to rid yourself of things that reminds you of him. Change your email address if you can, have his phone number blocked, I would consider taking a fresh start, such as joining a new gym.

Is your anxiety solely causally cause by him, though? Could other factors be attributing to your anxiety? Correlation isn't causation.
