Dealing with the loss of someone dear to us is painful and difficult to handle. When my girlfriend’s mom died of course it was devastating. Shortly after her mom’s passing she started to realize how much she was forgetting things. Being a perfectionist, super organized and always on the ball forgetting things really started to make her feel uneasy. If an appointment was forgotten or she misplaced her keys, any of those simple things would fling her into a violent 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 cancer or a brain tumor? What if I die? Why can’t I get this Panic away from me?
Unable to concentrate on anything as time went on the thoughts became obsessive and overwhelming, leaving her feel unsure of herself and scatter-brained. 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. She wouldn’t talk about her anxiety attacks with any friends or family believing that they would all think she’s going crazy too. 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. 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. Having a fear of something sets off anxiety or panic.
