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

The morning anxiety is so strong , Does anyone else feel it worse when they first wake up? ... When I wake up its like all my nerves are on fire and then all the bad stuff that has been happening flood my mind and it amplifies it to anxious with depression... It makes it so hard to get out of bed to do anything. I feel like I have nothing positive to look forward to but I push myself to get up .

Please, Does anyone else feel this way ? Has anyone been there done that and can share some wisdom ?

Hi Nancy Welcome, I am pretty new as well.. and no worry"s I am just now learning how to navigate the site myself. Many of us are members of other groups .. unfortunately some fall under many categories. This site is great because of the diversity and no matter where you post you will find unconditional support from great people who can relate.  
I am very sorry to hear that you are feeling so bad ... anxiety and depression seem to go hand in hand when we are grieving . I agree 2013 has been the worst year ever for me too and I can't wait for it to be over. 

JO B  So sad about your dad and how it is effecting you , the Holidays can be so hard on people who have lost loved ones or who suffer from any type of depression, I know many people feel the need to hide including myself.  Try to be kind to be extra kind and understanding with yourself until it passes ... and it will pass . Sounds like you figured out drugs are not the answer unless they are prescribed and taken as directed right?... We need you here with us ok . (((HUGS ))

I woke up today actually not feeling too bad ... I got up and let my dogs out to do their business and it was still kind of early so i decided to lay back in bed for a while... I was pretty calm not the usual anxiety I feel when i wake up these days and I was feeling pretty grateful. I ended up falling back to sleep for a little bit and within this short time I had a horrible nightmare that jolted me awake I was actually gasping for air when I opened my eyes and there it was...My anxiety... UGH.... great... So now I dug deep and yes with a little spiritual help I got my rear out of bed and started my day.  

It is the afternoon now and I have been able to shower and get dressed so I am gonna force myself to hit the gym , exercise always seems to help . 

I know this is a scary subject some don't like to talk about but I find it helpful , knowing that others live through it and come out the other side.

Thank you Niecy for inviting me to group.  God Bless you!

Comment by Carol Bolding on December 5, 2013 at 12:41pm

I still have moments, memories, crying, but I don't give into it as much as I used to.  I can get up in the morning now without feeling like I am living in a Nightmare!!!

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
