It’s tough for someone to go through dealing with the loss of a loved one. When my girlfriend’s mom died of course it was devastating. She started to realize how much she was forgetting things shortly after her mom’s passing. Always on the ball, a perfectionist and super organized this forgetfulness really started to alarm her. Forgetting an appointment or misplacing her keys again and again would throw her straight into a anxiety 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?

The longer it went on the more she felt scatter-brained, unsure of herself and unable to concentrate on much. All of these obsessive, irrational thoughts would send her into an anxiety or panic attack and spiralling out of control. She would research on the internet for hours trying to find which disease she had. She was certain she was going crazy. Fearing they would all think she’s crazy too, she didn’t even talk to any of her family or friends. 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. Her imagined thoughts seemed completely real because at the time her mind couldn’t think logically so every time she forgot something she’d run to the doctor. When the doctor diagnosed her with General Anxiety Disorder she was happy because she felt relief but scared because she didn’t know how to make her anxiety go away.

The fear of dying was the root of her anxiety, especially since having her mother die. Most causes of anxiety and panic do come from a fear of something. Do you suffer from panic or anxiety?
