A couple of months ago my dad who was the closest person in the world to me died suddenly and traumatically . Before this happened I was really struggling to be ‘normal ‘ I was very sad all of the time panicky stressed to the point my period stopped . Since dad died I seem to have spiralled worse I take panic attacks randomly I can’t handle being around people the slightest noise or someone’s voice sets me off . I don’t sleep well but feel exhausted I have no interest in anything . I did an e consult with my Gp who passed me over to a mental health practitioner who basically said my state of being was normal and I felt like the whole exercise was a tick box . I know grief is awful and messes people up I just feel like I’m struggling just to do anything now . I have no appetite and seem to spend my life in a state of fear and irritation . Don’t know what to do or where to go for help .

So sorry for your loss 💐 Sounds crap of the GP. Go back and request antidepressants and talk therapy/counselling. I know there’s a long waiting list but get on it, unless you can afford private therapy.

How would you feel about bereavement support groups, to talk things through? You could research some local or online services.

What would I say to the Gp ? I really really struggle with speaking to them and it usually ends up you fill in a form online to request an apppintment ?
