Depressed and high anxiety

Lately I have been feeling very anxious and scared. I’m not in the mood to laugh or do anything. My father whom I’m very close with and live with is going thru kidney disease since 2016. Right now kidneys are failing. I cry myself to sleep bc I can’t bare the thought of losing him. I have talked to lots of people who just

Tell me it’s life u got to finds ways to deal with it. But how do I do that. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I have stopped my life bc I’m thinking about that all the time. I thought I would come join here to not be judged and to see what advice anyone might have that would help me.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing. It’s good that you reached out. I understand how you feel because my parents had kidney failure. It was a difficult journey for my family emotionally and financially. In my country, we do not have health insurance and dialysis was too expensive. During my father’s diagnosis, I did not have a support system. It was hard to go through testing alone. That’s good that you posted here. I hope you will find comfort here. Please feel free to share your feelings anytime, it will be a big help.

Praying for you for peace and good health for your father. By the way, I have a friend who has been going through dialysis since January 2016 and he is doing fine. Please stay strong and keep us posted. God bless.

Thank you so much. Im so sorry your dad went thru this is so hard to see and watch. Prayers for him and you. How is your father now.

I decide to come on here bc I have no support system or anyone to talk to u or just tell how I’m feeling.

Unfortunately, my father did not make it. He passed away after 6 months of dialysis. It was difficult for my whole family but God's grace was enough and He strengthened us during that time of difficulty.

How's your father?

I’m so sorry to hear of your dads passing. My dad right now is doing good. We will find out this coming week whether or not he will need dialysis. He was on it for 2 months in 2016. Kidneys were doing good up till now. So one more blood test then we see what’s next. Hoping for good news praying. It’s hard for me bc I just can’t picture life without my parents especially I’m really close to my dad. I have a son 19 years old and my dad basically raised him due to his family not in picture and I feel like my son will be lost without him. I’m probably jumping way ahead and thinking badly when I should be positive.

Can I ask how you got thru that difficult time when he was sick then after his passing.

I have a best friend at work and I always talked to her. She was my support during that time. She cried with me and she encouraged me. She listened whenever I told him stories about my dad. If you have anyone you can talk to, it would be helpful. Someone you can trust or you can post here.

I’m with you in prayers for your Dad. Keep me posted.
