Dealing with the loss of someone close to us can be very difficult for anyone to handle. When my girlfriend’s mom died of course it was devastating. She started to realize how much she was forgetting things shortly after her mom’s passing. Her forgetfulness really started to terrify her because she was always on the ball, super organized and a perfectionist. Simple things like misplacing her keys over and over or forgetting an appointment would send her straight into an panic 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?

She began feeling unsure of herself, unable to focus or concentrate and scattered as more time went by. Her irrational, obsessive thoughts would make her spiral out of control and her anxiety attacks were frightening. Trying to find which disease she had she would be on the internet for hours. She was certain she was going crazy. She wouldn’t talk about her anxiety attacks with any friends or family believing that they would all think she’s going crazy too. 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. However, because her mind at the time could not think logically, her irrational thoughts seemed completely real and she became obsessed with running to the doctor every time she’d forget something else. It was bittersweet when her doctor diagnosed her with General Anxiety Disorder because she didn’t know where to begin. She had suffered with painful attacks for several months and didn`t know how to get over it.
