Surviving John

It’s tough for someone to go through dealing with the loss of a loved one. It was devastating when my girlfriend’s mother died. Shortly after her mom’s passing she started to realize how much she was forgetting things. Her forgetfulness really started to terrify her because she was always on the ball, super organized and a perfectionist. Simple things like misplacing her keys over and over or forgetting an appointment would send her straight into an panic attack. However, she immediately thought that this forgetfulness must be from some sort of undiagnosed disease and then those thoughts would attack her… what if it’s a brain tumor or cancer? What if I die? Why can’t I get this Panic away from me?

She began feeling unsure of herself, unable to focus or concentrate and scattered as more time went by. Her irrational, obsessive thoughts would make her spiral out of control and her anxiety attacks were frightening. She spent hours researching what disease she had on the internet. She was certain she was going crazy. Would her family and friends think she’s crazy too? Fearing the worst she decided not to talk about it. She was scared.

Grieving is a process and it takes time, death is a huge tragedy. It’s not uncommon to feel forgetful, overwhelmed or scatter-brained. However, because her mind at the time could not think logically, her irrational thoughts seemed completely real and she became obsessed with running to the doctor every time she’d forget something else. It was bittersweet when her doctor diagnosed her with General Anxiety Disorder because she didn’t know where to begin. She had suffered with painful attacks for several months and didn`t know how to get over it.

After seeing her mother die, it’s no surprise that at the root of her anxiety was the fear of dying. Most reasons of panic and anxiety come from being fearful of something.
