Anxiety meds needed I think

I have had lots of bad years but this one has been the worst. I finally ended a challenging relationship in February which was needed but quite heart breaking. I then lost my mom suddenly 10 days later and started a new job 3 weeks after that. I've got a good job but it's so busy with so much to learn and can be long hours.
My daughter then had her windows shot through which is a whole other story that has bought do much stress and worry and is now back at home with my 4 year old grandson. I'm glad they are safe, I adore my grandson but the relationship is challenging with my daughter.
Last week I broke my foot so I can't drive and it's so painful.
Last night my son was out with friends and someone cut his face with a knife. He's a normal 22 yr old, been to uni, nice job so not a trouble maker. I'm now worried to death.
I just don't think I can cope with any more and panic attacks are coming back. I've not had this for years and have taken meds in the past but I'm reluctant. There is no joy in life at the moment apart from my grandson and my job which is busy and I'm actually enjoying. I'm fed up and my nerves are shot and I miss my mom.

Didn't want to read and run. That's so much to contend with. Please speak to your gp who can prescribe and signpost appropriately. Hope things calm down.

Absolutely, talk to your gp. Sounds like the meds might help you get some of the resilience you need right now (I take some and that's my experience). You are dealing with so much, I hope you can get other support as well, but a GP trip sounds really sensible and part of the old saying 'put your own oxygen
mask on first!'

Thanks both, I'll book an appointment with the GP.
