Anxiety Climaxing

@CoolBeans29 Hey there CoolBeans, this sounds like a terribly stressful situation. My own father passed a couple years back when I was fairly young, so I can relate a little to how you're feeling. I remember feeling very scared too, and like I was almost on egg shells with everybody? Like I was just anticipating the worst of everything to come? Even though sometimes, nothing bad actually happened?

I think reaching out to a community and sharing your story is a really brave thing to do. I don't think I could've done it myself when my own father died, I can't imagine the strength it took to even just post this.

I hope you find peace at some point, and you find some ways to help. 7 Cups is such an accepting community I have found, and the resources they have on hand are great. Much love to you <3

@CoolBeans29. Your feelings are normal. Our perceptions are often different at stressful times like this and the loss of a parent is so traumatic. You are afraid of more loss and unknown disasters because of your loss and that's normal. We feel all kinds of strange things in this situation. Give yourself time to grieve . You will be all right in time.

@CoolBeans29 I'm really sorry for your loss. I can imagine what you're going through. I lost my father when I was a teenager and I remember feeling the exact same thing. It's all unreal till it hits you. But trust me, it only gets better with time. Allow yourself to feel grief, cry if you must and let it all out. Surround yourself with friends and loved ones... and breathe. It only gets better from here. If you ever need to talk about it, I'm here. God bless.
