Anxiety after loss of my mum

Newlife101

Hey all 

I have posted on here a few times before, and try to give advice when I can to others going through the loss of someone as it really is like nothing I have ever experienced.

Somedays are feeling a little bit easier than others, and I know my mum would want me to carry on, she was told me so many times, but the feeling that I cannot shift is just sheer anxiety at the moment. I'm constantly on edge, and in the past few weeks its just there, all the time. I worry about running into people, and am just so highly senstive to everything. Is this normal? I have started therapy which is helping but the constant feeling of worry just seems to not be going away. 

Hope everyone is doing as well as they can today x

    Hi Newlife,

    Sincing losing my mum I often find myself crippled with anxiety and being very emotional. Days where I am left alone or without activities (such as work, etc) is where I am at my worst. My mum would not want me to halt my life and that's is what I keep telling myself - it is just so hard.

    I am hoping that your therapy goes well and remember that you are not alone.

    Hugs x

    I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your mum, and thank you for taking the time to reply to me when you're feeling just as anxious as I am, I genuinely appreciate it so much. It's really beyond words tough isn't it, somedays it's unbearable. We will get through it though, our mum's will make sure we do. 

    Sending a huge amount of love to you. Xxx
