Has anyone suffered with panic attacks or anxiety after losing someone close to them? I went out properly for the first time yesterday after losing both my grandparents and really struggled with it. Also went back to work today. I cried nearly all the way there.
Hello @Icare03,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandparents. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just giving your thread a gentle, “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share.
Take good care,
Alex
Thank you Alex, things are tough right now. I feel like i have cried so much today.
Hello, I lost my mum on 16/1 and have experienced anxiety and overwhelm on and off ever since. Some days it’s ok but the days when it comes are just so overwhelming all I want to do it go and hide in a cupboard and not come out. It’s feelings in my tummy and chest - very intense feelings, and also a very foggy and fuzzy head. Sharing so you know you are not alone. Hope it helps

I know that anxiety too Ems184. I am now on medication for it but it doesn’t seem to always work. Mostly it’s when I come back in, no one here……
Im sorry to hear about both of your losses too. I understand the feeling ok then feeling overwhelmed. I found that going out has made it worse for me. I feel guilty for enjoying anything. Ive only really been out because ive had to, I find it have to find so much strength right now, its exhausting. Thank you for sharing it with me, I hope things feel less heavy as time goes on for you both.
