In May i lost my son and every since then I have felt very uneasy. I did take anti depressants for a short time until i found out I was expecting again. I sometimes get very nervous when i go out in public and i feel like theres something that just isnt right. I dont know what to do anymore. I dont even remember what it feels like to be happy. I think about my breathing and it makes me panic a little. I do have a little bit of palps off and on but they dont scare me as much as they did before. Has anyone ever experienced this after a loss or after something tragic? Ive never had any of these issues until i lost my son.
I am so very sorry that you lost your beloved son. It's a pain like no other.
I have not lost a child but I lost my brother and I was having all sorts of physical symptoms due to the extreme shock or losing him. It is normal and your grief is very fresh. Have you heard of The Compassionate Friends? They are an amazing group of people who have lost children and they meet and support one another. They are tremendously helpful. Compassionatefriends.org is their website.
I've also been very afraid lately. My brother was murdered and the world feels unsafe to me. I do believe that these feelings will fade in time but they are strong right now.
I am very sorry for your pain and terrible loss. You are having normal reactions. Please talk to others as well who can help you. My heart goes out to you.
Your symptoms are very similar to what i experienced after i lost my son to suicide.
I had heart palps off and on for about a year. I had an overwhelming desire to cry out for my son like he was lost not dead. I was upset and nervous everyday couldnt shop because it would cause such anxiety. All I can tell you is after two years some feelings have subsided but I still niss my son and wonder why? It is very painful to lose a child and i doubt that i will ever be happy? again. I just go on for the sake of my mom and my other son.
Sorry for your loss and hope you find peace.
Love and hugs
Susan
Are you seeing a "talk therapist"? That helps too. You have so much going on right now, it must feel like you are juggling plates.
Take care of yourself
