The experience of losing a parent

17 Sep 2008 04:02 PM

Im so glad to find this site! i know everyone experiences this in life! but when you go through it you feel like the only person in the world! and it hurts!!! i was just wondering ...is it normal...to have Anxiety problems? after loosing a parent? I lost my dad in April 2008 ....i am the only child so its just me and my mom left...i was 20yrs old when he passed....he has been sick for a long time...he had a heart transplant in 1996....some say (oh its easier because yall expected it) and yes....in a way we knew it was going to happen sooner than later....but i dont care what anyone says.....sick or not sick....its not expected and it doesnt make it any easier!! after his passing.....i turned down the wrong road...and drank and did bad things to cover up my feelings......that only lasted a month..because i started having these "weird" feelings and went to a DR about it...and he diagnozed me with Depression and Anxiety.... any words of advice??? is this normal....or something i should be worried about?
