i guess this is ptsd

my father passed away in march of 2001, but was diagnosed with cancer in 99.....well my anxiety started when he had his first operation.....NOW....2002 and 2003 i was a little anxious, but come march 2004 and march 2005 ....My body just goes into a panic/anxiety/derealisation state that i cant shake off for a couple months....i mean is this a subconscious thing? i am seeing a therapist now to cope with it......any thoughts?

Your anxiety could be linked to your father's death but this doesn't sound to me, personally, like PTSD.

I have suffered form panic attacks for around 14 years they do come and go though but when my mum died from cancer last year she was only 50 and had cancer for 10 months it took her in little time after she passed i was convinced i was going to die i thought i was having a heart attack a stroke or that i might have a brain tummour.

I was in councelling when this happened i just kept going back and now im not 100% cured but im nealry i havent had a attack in months and i no longer think im dying or that every wee pain i get that ill die with it.

hi panicks,

Yours fathers death could have contributed to your anxiety but it may not necessarily have caused it..

SEH1980....there really is no other reason that i can think of what caused my anxiety besides my fathers death....i mean it all started when he got sick and now worse when he is not here
