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 !

Niecy, I know what you mean about mornings.  I experienced that just about every morning for 8 years!  When I received the "Holy Spirit" back in February, that all changed.  I would feel like I wanted to come out of myself also.  I tried alcohol, that didn't work, pain medication, that didn't work either!  "Jesus carried our griefs and our sorrows".  If you give your life to him and ask the "Holy Spirit" to come in, you will have peace.

MORNINGS are the worst for me! ugh!!!  It's so hard waking up and trying to find reason to just pop up and get out of bed ...

The depression makes me want to sleep but the anxiety makes me want to get up and run away from myself ... 

Sometimes I feel like I am fighting just to continue breathing

Dia-Ayesha and Lynn , My heart goes out to you both for your losses ,Thank you for sharing your stories of pain even though it is so very hard sometimes to talk about.

Dia-Ayesha , I can imagine how much anticipatory anxiety you were experiencing having been her care giver for so many years , I know your pain ,its hard enough to deal with anxiety , panic and depression without a trigger but then you top it off with the loss of someone so very special and POW! I too know that when a family member or friend does not fully understand or have never experienced what anxiety /depression is the support from them can be less than satisfying and can actually make you/me feel more depressed. 

Lynn , She was your child and I can see how you would feel the way you do ... you have every right as well to feel the way you do , I know you will always grieve in some way for her loss and there will be many more tears over your lifetimes shed for her , I do hope one day soon you will also be able to move through the solid wall of depression .

we are here together with a common bond (hugs)

Hi Niecy . I lost my beloved mum this 22 july, 2013. She was the greatest love of my line. I've lost grandparents , uncles but this is the most tragic, painful loss ever. I've always had low lying anxiety and depression. I was my mums main caregiver for 14 years during which she suffered many health setbacks. Years of chronic stress and anxiety , always worrying and fearing losing her. After she passed I was in shock and disbelief initial 3 months. Now the full force of my grief has hit me. My depression and anxiety is at an all time high. Even simple, innocuous things rattle me, make me anxious. I'm falling apart and even though my family and I are very close knit I see them getting impatient with my anxiety. I thank you for this group. Its a safe haven for me where I know I wont be judged. Losing my mum has been the hardest , most traumatic loss ever. I just feel lost, lonely, heartbroken. The pain is searing.

Yes Niecy it is so hard.  I lost my daughter Kyra 3 1/2 months ago she died at 26 in a car accident.  I am so sorry for the tragedies you have gone through.  The heartbreak can be unrelenting in the beginning.  The mornings are so hard.  I have had two episodes of major depression in the past and sometimes worry this will trigger another.

I have lost other family and friends but this loss is not comparable.  Sending you hugs we will all help each other through this emptiness.

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
