Their are so many stages of grief, I have lost times the amount of times I have gone through them all, this time is different, I'm getting severe panic attacks. Throughout the loss of my father I was also going to a 4 yr relationship with an extremely abusive partner, it took every last bit of strength to leave. I had a full time job as a head chef and I was financially independent. In dec 2016 I lost my job, I was irresponsible and it cost me my job, I have been having a massive blow out, drinking nearly everyday, borrowing money that I know I cannot payback. Now I'm on the verge of losing my home and my friends. I feel completely lost without the guidance of my father. I'm losing my friends, my dignity and becoming a shell of myself. I have been trying to control a panic attack that is on the verge of happening for the last 6 hours. 6 hours of what can only be described as 'white noise screaming at me' intense migraines, regrets, guilt and shame. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. I'm losing everything and I can't stop it. Am I grieving, is it self pity .. I'm not sure, I wish he was here, I wish I could talk to him .. I hope wherever he is, he cannot see how much of a fuck up I have become. I must have been someone terrible in my past life to deserve this one. I miss myself, I miss my parents. Alone in the dark with my awful thoughts.

Hi Dee,

I suffer from severe panic attacks.  I have come to realize no one understands them unless you have had them yourself.  It's hard to talk to someone who completely does not understand what you are going through.  I have been where you have been.  I won't get into the ugly details but I've been there.  I truly understand what you mean when you say "I have become a shell of myself".  If you would like to talk, send me a message.  I would be happy to talk on the phone with you.

Thank you for your kind words, I find it's alot easier to pour my heart out on this rather than speak to family, I feel guilty telling them I am not feeling ok. It's very easy to fall into a dark place thinking dark things, wish it was as easy to snap back into a positive mood. Takes time I suppose. X

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
