Dealing with the loss of someone dear to us is painful and difficult to handle. Of course it was devastating when my girlfriend’s mom died. Shortly after her mom’s passing she started to realize how much she was forgetting things. 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. Her anxiety attacks would send her spiralling out of control because of all the irrational, obsessive thoughts. She would research on the internet for hours trying to find which disease she had. 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. She asked her doctor to perform many different tests but he concluded that she had General Anxiety Disorder, surprised but a little relieved, she didn’t know how to stop the anxiety on her own.
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?
