Hi . My anxiety has got worse since losing my mum in February this year . My confidence has dropped and I feel I am having to put on a front to say I’m fine .

It’s so difficult time to get your head round . Maybe do things with your family that your lost one used to love that way you will feel close to them x

I feel this too… I remember the feeling now from when I lost my dad just constant sadness it’s horrible. Since I lost my mum in early March I’ve had the sadness but also anxiety, feel anxious about everything really.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way too, it’s so hard.

Thank you both for your replies. Very kind of you. Im sorry you both feel the same.
I feel like im going mad sometimes.
I dont like feeling out of control with my emotions. I guess Grief does this to us.
I keep busy to try to stop the thoughts and memories of just before mum passed.
I miss her so much. Im just not the same person. And alot more anxious.

I know me too Cadbury, I feel like I’ll never be my old self without her. I worry about everything and feel sad most of the time like I’m living under a dark cloud. Like you I don’t feel in control of my emotions anymore. I think you’re right it’s the journey we’re on unfortunately. I hope you and all of us feel better soon or at least find a way to manage these horrible feelings. Sending love x

So sorry you’re still having such a hard time. At the moment it feels like it’s just getting harder and I’m just always sad or worried that something’s wrong with anyone else I love. I’m not me anymore I’m usually quite upbeat and resilient but have no idea how I’ll ever feel like that again and I’m really trying to get some sort of normal back.
