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 !

I have always suffered from anxiety and depression growing up but have lived a pretty "normal" whatever that means life with just bouts here and there.  

This year has been a really bad one for me , in fact 2013 just sucked and I can't wait for it to be over to tell the truth. It started out with my marriage of 20 +years splitting, then my favorite pets of 13 years passed in my arms, I had a few health scares myself and then just when I was starting to recover , My mother passed away last week kinda out of the blue... This has set me back and although my Mother had a peaceful passing that I am forever grateful for , My body , mind and soul are going through some major setbacks... anxiety, depression and grief all at once. I feel like I have bee hit but a bus. 

I am NOT a stranger to loss of life in my family , And I'm not saying my grief is any more deep than anyone else's , But when you are not in a healthy frame of mind when it happens it can compound your grief... Or if you do not have a strong support system to help guide you through... no family , friends, job, ect

These factors and many others can make one face mortality and feel almost as if you / we / I are mourning our own loss... What to do now?..How do we go on?.. When will the pain end?.. so many questions that can't simply be answered . All we can do is share and support each other. Thank you all. xoxo

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
