Compounded grief with existing anxiety and depression.

Information

Compounded grief with existing anxiety and depression.

During the tragic loss of a loved one or having gone through several tragedies , be it death of a loved one, divorce , personal health issues, or getting older , ect. Sometimes the stress and depression compounded by grief can be debilitating and it may have us feel as if we are mourning our own deaths while we are grieving the loss of our loved ones , We feel as if our own lives are over , Being in this mode can make recovery a longer more confusing process for some. It can be uncomfortable to talk about however with all the postings I have read.. it seems to be a common thread for quite a few, myself included . My wish for everyone to find peace if you are in this catagory . And my hope is that there are not too many who fall under this catagory... However if you do , You are not alone. ((( HUGS))) to all !

This is the first time, since my dads death in March of 2012, that I have been on any type of site like this. My dad was 56 when he passed away from A liver disease. I came on this site because my…Continue

If the name of this board is accurate I am in the right place. But I really don't know what to say at the moment. I have lost 4 siblings to cancer and one to a heart attack. My dad passed from a massive stroke when I was 26 and my mom died 3 months ago. My anxiety has been a roller coaster and hidden from most family and friends as best I can but with three deaths in short span I find I'm not coping with many things in life very well right now. I never showed grief to my wife and kids for years and now I'm showing everything all at once and I think it's now put my wife under a lot of stress too because of how hard I've leaned on her and how weak I've been for the first time in 21 years of marriage. Since mom passed I feel like a child at times and I have way too much sadness eating me up.

Hi everyone it has been a while since I have been in here and a lot has gone on in the past few months...  I went through some major depression and stress over losing mom last November that I ended up being hospitalized , I did make it through and I now can actually get through days without crying without such extreme sadness. It did take time and the will to push through but i made it to the other side. I hope everyone is doing OK and on the road to healing . xoxo

Well ... Its over... Christmas 2013 is in the past . I had so much anxiety ,depression and just flat out collapsing into cry spells the past few days honestly how I made it through alive is beyond me . I do know from reading all the posts in all the groups so many of you can relate. I just hope and pray that now we can take our breaths a little easier as we continue to heal without all the added pressure.  god bless everyone

((hugs)) for everyone who are suffering and anticipating the holiday ahead ... I am one like you, I have been off of here for a few days because it has been really hard for me. Losing my mom less than a month ago and having so many other issues going on in my life has pushed my grief to the limits . The anxiety and depression is at an all time high as I search for a slight glimmer of light at the end of that tunnel . The holidays with all the ads, and seeing all the happy family's together can really hurt. This is all really hard for me because I am having to deal with so much loss all at once alone. The nights of hardly any sleep , the morning filled with anxiety... the dread and sadness that lingers all. day . Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end. 

I pray for a miracle daily ... I am wishing peace , love and comfort to all who are in this terrible pain .

Dia, my situation and feelings are very much like yours. I may be doing something and I suddenly realize again that my mom is gone. It's like hitting my head against a wall everytime the thought comes to my head.

I just feel sad , alone, lost , heartbroken and lonely. It doesn't matter what I'm doing , where I am , whether I'm surrounded by people or alone the constant thought eunning through my mind is :my mom's gone forever. Everywhere around me people are super happy, excited over who knows what. But all I feel is broken. Mom suffered tremendously before she went. I know death is natural, inevitable but I'm in shock over her death. I can't accept her death and the way she suffered and died. Too much pain and bitterness in my heart . Sorry for sounding negtive but this is how i truly feel . A great , noble, human being suffered and died a tragic death. Where's the justice in that???

I'm sorry if I don't come on the site as much as some people. I always get the emails saying about posts, and I want to come on here sometimes, but sometimes don't feel up to it.

 

Today, for somereason going to a shop that my parents used to go to - eventhough I've gone there a few times since their passing without a bunch of emotions - today I had emotions and was feeling off. I didn't get emotional right in the store, but later on.  It's hard to explain.

 

I am trying to look forward, and plan for the future, but also live a day at a time. Things are tough right now with work and a few things and think this isn't helping plus with all the "hype" in the world for "Family" with Christmas time. I'm trying to spend time just myself and also trying to mingle.  It is really tough not having really any close family.  One sister we seem to have a challenging time when ever we get together (she sees blue, I see green, it's always a challenge). I want to be around her, but can't take the constant arguments that seem to always develop with her.

 

I don't have really any remaining uncles aunts. One other sibling has chosen to not talk to me, and quite frankly I'm fine with that. It's a shame for my niece/nephew that they won't likely ever know me now.   Thanks for listening to my rant.

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief

Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
