6months ago I coudn"t go my friends funeral & I felt I let her down, but my anxiety was so bad I would have been a mess, but things are changing, sadly tomorrow I will be going to my father in laws funeral ( who I loved very much ) but I do feel mentally stronger, I am still getting the horrible thoughts coming into my head but I can deal with them a lot better, thanking all who have & still are helping me it is greatly appreciated. xxxx

Hi newton I am fairly new to the community, i am sorry to hear you have lost your father in law . I lost my grandmother last year, it was such a shame as she was only 1 mnth away from her 100th birthday, an a party for her was planned. I was taken to her funeral , but it was terrible for me, as I was in a very bad way, I could barley stand, could not see for distorted vision and sweat dripped off me, You have made me look back, and see how far I have come, although still ill, I can stand even if it is weak and my vision is better than then . I really hope all goes well for you at the funeral.

Take Care

Bonnie
