Acute Anxiety and Stress
Three months back I lost my father to cancer. Ever since then, I have been so much disturbed lately. I get extremely angry at times. Sometimes i feel like going inside a room and shout and just cry. Sometimes due to my high stress level I get headaches that lasts for hours, and I start feeling pain in my stomach and lower abdomen too. It's just me and my mom in the family. My dad side extended family has been extremely unsupportive always. They did plenty of wrong things to my father during the bad of his health. Gaslighting, game-play, manipulation, this is all they do everyday. I have been extremely stressed out. I am unemployed as well. I m not able to do anything. I just feel like sleeping and just sleeping. I feel like crying and crying. I don't know what is going on and happening with me. I m just so done, I feel I have no one to talk to at all. Papa was my best friend. I feel suffocated here without him.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a parent could be extremely painful. But remember, this too shall pass! Time is the best medicine. Since your mother needs you by her side, you need to be stronger. Seek support among your friends or speak to a counsellor to express how you feel. Your pent up emotions are leading to anxiety and other physiological issues. While you speak to a professional, also distract yourself by doing activities that calm your mind, this will help in reducing your anxiety. Connect 1:1 for further support. Take Care.
Next Steps
Consult a counselling psychologist.
