Since loosing my beautiful mum to cancer back in 2020 aged 24 and my nan a year later. I have suffered with anxiety surrounding anything that goes wrong. as soon as something bad happens or something doesn’t go to plan I begin to panic, the anxiety floods through my body and I find it extremely different to shake offf. I don’t know how to cope with anything bad happening in my life anymore. It’s like my brain cannot cope with anymore and I can’t breathe. I have no idea how to control it and before loosing my mum I was always in control. Loosing her the night she died was a huge shock because we was told we wasn’t at that point yet so now I don’t believe anyone telling me everything will be ok because it never is. My friends and family even seem to think I just have the worst luck. I can’t shake this feeling of dread of the very worst of every situation. I’m on medication from the doctor but it doesn’t help when things happen out of my control. Any help?
Hello @lostbutterfly ,

Hello sorry you are finding it hard to cope with anxiety. I suffer very badly with anxiety and it multiplied since losing my mum, what medication has the doctor given you?
I’ve been prescribed beta blockers and I feel like they’re a god send at this moment. I can take up to 3 a day and I’ve only been taking one the first thing in the morning cause that when I get my worse anxiety attacks although today I had to take a second as I started thinking of all sorts and it set me off again x
