Yes this is normal for anxiety, our body's try to protect us against the pain and worry which causes muscle tension etc due to stress. You are okay, trust me. Try to relax the anxiety and that will help the pain, it's a loop you need to break. Very sorry for your loss. Feel free to drop a private message if you need support with this!

Hi Lukeboy, I'm really sorry about your dad, all these symptoms are getting worse due to it being the anniversary of him passing away on the 30th, it brings up all the upset of what happened that day, .im sure you don't need telling that it's normal to feel that way.when I lost my mum it was a couple of weeks before Mother's Day 3 years ago. I was working on Mother's Day in a residential home and people were bringing in flowers for there mums!! That was so hard and vowed I wouldn't work the next one!! All I can say is you never get over losing them if they've been a loving and supportive parent but the pain becomes easier to deal with. You will find one day you will smile or laugh at something he said or did, it gets easier to live with, I still do cry sometimes but I laugh more because she was wonderful and funny and she would want me too, I know it's a relief when the day is over. Do something nice if you can to celebrate his life on that day if you can. Just so it's not all negative, try and put a positive event in that day too. Thinking of you 🙏🏻
