It’s tough for someone to go through dealing with the loss of a loved one. Of course it was devastating when my girlfriend’s mom died. She started to realize how much she was forgetting things shortly after her mom’s passing. Super organized, always on the ball and a perfectionist her forgetfulness really started to distress her. If she misplaced her keys or forgot an appointment it would drive her into an anxiety attack. However, she immediately thought that this forgetfulness must be from some sort of undiagnosed disease and then those thoughts would attack her… what if it’s a brain tumor or cancer? What if I die? Why can’t I get this Panic away from me?
The longer it went on the more she felt scatter-brained, unsure of herself and unable to concentrate on much. Her anxiety attacks would send her spiralling out of control because of all the irrational, obsessive thoughts. On the internet for several hours she would be trying to find out which disease sounded like hers. She was certain she was going crazy. Would her family and friends think she’s crazy too? Fearing the worst she decided not to talk about it. She was scared.
Grieving is a process and it takes time, death is a huge tragedy. It’s not uncommon to feel forgetful, overwhelmed or scatter-brained. Because her mind couldn’t think logically at the time, she became obsessed running to the doctor every time she’d forget something, her obsessive thoughts seemed completely normal. She would request all sorts of tests but when the doctor diagnosed her with General Anxiety Disorder it was bittersweet, she felt a sense of relief, finally, but also didn`t know how to handle her anxiety or how to make it better.
