Hi I have been here before and received a great deal of help so I am hoping I will get a little more help
On 4 July this year my brother took his own life. I had recovered from a severe episode of anxiety maybe three weeks before this tragic event
For six weeks after his untimely death I think I was numb but 10 days ago started to feel as though my anxiety was coming back. I couldn't breath properly and my heart began to palpitate and my stomach started to roll.
I have terrible fear now of someone dying who is close to me
I can still leave the house and am trying very hard
My GP says that he doesn't want to give me anything to stop these feelings as he believes they are natural parts of grief and he says if we mask them with meds I will still feel this anxiety when I come off them
Has anyone else out there suffered from this
