Hi my dear friends,
I want to say that I appreciate all of you that read this, it is so much easier to talk about things on here than to people in my life. My cousin in law died on saturday. She was only 31. She had been drinking and stopped breathing in her sleep.. my little cousin, her daughter, tried to wake her up in the morning and it was too late. My family is suffering right now and I am overwhelmed with guilt about my anxiety. I am afraid that this could happen to me, or anything could happen to me. I do not want to die, I want to live and love and experience and help people. But i am held back by these feelings.. my heart is beating too fast, will I die? I feel weak today.. am I going to die? I want those thoughts to stop. I want to be strong for my family and strong for strangers and friends and everyone. Where did this weak little girl come from that just wants to curl in a ball? I want to stand straight and strong and put all of my fears behind me so that I can live my life and do the things that I want to do. How do I do it? Gosh, I am so overcome by guilt right now.. I was not that close with her and I feel terrible for people worrying about me when the thoughts and prayers should be with her husband and kids. I dont know what to feel or say or do.. Please some advice or perspective on this? How do I find the strength?
