Hold on ❤️

Hi lovely people, I just wanted to say like so many of you I am at war with my anxiety 😥 i was doing so well until a few weeks ago!! It has me in a tight grip, inside I am screaming, holding back tears that I feel are strangling me!! I am so very grateful for my life and all I have. The negative and catastrophic thinking won’t give me a moments peace. I have known much better,happier times and will again!! I have came through so much & will come through this. Please hold on!! if I have survived through some truly heartbreaking losses (2 kids,a brother) and witnesses so many tragic times then you can do it!! I know anxiety loves to make us believe we can’t keep going but the happy times will come again, hold on. I know we are so tired and drained and struggle daily but this too shall pass! I’m here for you all & have studied mental health nursing so I can offer advice on a lot of things & I promise if I don’t have the answer I will try find it. I am always on here please never think you are alone. ❤️

By the way, sorry for ur loss. I have lost two sisters, my very oldest to child birth complications (36 yrs ago)& my very youngest to asthma (4yrs ago). They say time heals & yet it still feels like yesterday.

Thank you for this. Sorry for the pain you have gone thru. I too lost my brother 10 years ago and have struggled with it. Still holding on but now his memory of his life is slowly going away. I do not want to lose his memory. I know it's been 10 years and times passes but I truly miss him and would love to spend one more day with him just to talk. He was my little brother. Gone of cancer too soon.💔

I’m so sorry for your loss 😞 I totally understand how you feel. Do you have a photo album or pictures you could make a collage? I find it difficult to look at pictures. I always go to where my brother took his dog, he was only 28 and like your brother was taken way too soon. The grief is a reminder of how much love we have for them. X

He had a FB page in which he did not use much. I go there for the few pictures he had. Then my memories take over from there. But it takes me going in his page to get those memories.

Thats the thing we are hurt no matter what we do, I feel guilty for not wanting to look at pictures then so upset when I do. I try to tell myself on certain dates it’s no different to the pain and loss I feel every day, I always get the rollercoaster of emotions in the lead up to birthdays etc. X

My brother was 42. Left a 7 y/o behind who stood up in her class about a week later talking about her dad. Left me in tears.

Tragic 💔 do you see your niece? It must be hard but comforting at the same time

[Hidden in reply to Lizziedee]

Not very often. She'll be graduating this coming May from high school. Her mom has got a strict thumb on her life. My parents get her once a month for a weekend. At least they have that last connection with my brother.
