My name is Lisa and my life has changed so drastically in the past few weeks that I feel like I am loosing my mind. My mother had a stroke on October 16, 2009. It was a massive stroke and it left her with severely damaged. We were coping with this as a family and then suddenly on November 23, 2008 my sister got sick and died 2 days later. That same day my grandmother passed away also. One week later on December 2, 2008 my mother died as the result of pneumonia. I do have four other siblings, however, they have major issues of their own, so the bulk of the responsibilty for arrangements and such fell to me. I thought I was doing really good with it, but in the early morning hours of December 9, I suffered a severe anxiety attack. I ended up going to the ER. Was told it was anxiety and given a Rx for Lorazepam. I haven't had another attack with the intensity of that one on the 9th, but I am afraid now. Afraid that I am next, afraid of more attacks. I don't take the full 1 mg Lorazepam at night, usually cut it in half, sometimes 1/4, and this helps. I was starting to feel somewhat better and am learning to recognize the cycle and then on Sunday, Jan 11, 2009, my boyfriend's mother suffered a heart attack and is on life support. They will probably remove that today. So much death, I don't know how to handle it. I am going to see my GP this afternoon. I am not looking for medication, mostly some peace of mind as to my health. I must say that my mother was 72, my grandmother 99, my BF mother 60 and my sister 43. My sister had previous health problems and didn't do much to improve them, but the fact remains that I am having major problems with all this. I am looking forward to working through the lessons and completing the homework in hopes that this anxiety will leave and I can feel relaxed and happy once again. And looking for friendship and support from people who can relate to how I feel.
