Stressed after a few recent traumatic events

About a month ago my 2DS had a febrile convulsion his first one and I'm a single parent so was alone when this happened. Although he was not harmed it was still a scary and stressful situation to to through and the paramedic who came wasn't exactly the comforting guy. This then triggered my anxiety and depression back off so I'm now back on anti depressants.
This Sunday me and my family were at my parents my DF hit his head on a corner cabinet and it began bleeding. He seemed in pain but ok. He went to walk through to the living room and he passed out smacking the front of his head on the floor and had a fit. Making the same sounds as my son. I jumped straight in to help and called an ambulance. I was really shaken up.
The paramedics then said they found irregularities with his heart and needed to go to hospital for checks which he did and all came back ok. Was just from the truma from the head injury that caused them. Yesterday I felt really teary and upset seeing my DF in that way and it also brought back memories of my DS having a fit. Today I feel really rubbish :( don't really know what to do

I guess just need someone to talk to or write it down to vent

Poor you, how distressing.

Febrile convulsions are common, though distressing. What did the paramedic say which worried you?

As for your dad, so glad his heart tests came back ok.

When DS was about 14 he fainted and cracked his head on concrete and had a fit. I didn’t visualise it but found it distressing just hearing about it after, so no wonder you are shook up.
