Hi
It can be tough to lose a parent and I understand what you must be going through. You are grieving the loss of your father and you are feeling emotions associated with grief such as emptiness and sadness. Along with grieving the loss of your father you are having anxious thoughts about your health and health of family members. You have fear of hiv, cancer, or heart attack. It is important to know for how long have you been having anxious thoughts about your health and health of family members.
Consult a psychologist for counselling sessions. A psychologist would like to know for how long you have been having anxious thoughts about your health. A psychologist would also like to know if there is family history of anxiety disorders. Counselling sessions will help you feel better. Practicing self-care will help you.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist

Hi... You have already started the treatment process by consulting a Psychiatrist and taking medication. But the cause of your condition is purely psychosocial in nature so I would suggest you to seek Grief Counselling. No one can undo your loss but proper and timely intervention will help you recover from your loss more effectively. This fear of having a fatal disease to self or other family members is not very uncommon in present times. During and post pandemic lots of people are experiencing similar feelings. This immediate loss in your family has added to your fears, which is very natural. You will be able to overcome this difficult time in your life. Stay Strong.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Grief Counselling is required.

Hello
I understand that you were going through a very tough time but at present, the loss of your father has increased the severity of the issues. As you’re taking anti-anxiety medication, it communicates that you have been experiencing anxiety.
You’re at present having guilt feelings about whatever has happened during the past week and you’re unable to actually deal with that. I would highly suggest you to consult to a RCI licensed Clinical Psychologist to deal with the emotional distress and help you to overcome the issues you are facing and make the process of grieving easier.
Next Steps
Consult an Licensed Clinical Psychologist as soon as possible because the sooner we begin, the easier will be the progress.
Health Tips
Try to consume yourself in pleasurable activities and remember the happiest moments with your father so that you experience more positive emotions. Wish you a speedy recovery and good health.
