Hi everyone ,
I am new to this thread and to be honest I am just seeking some guidance and support from people who are going through the same as me.
I’m 29 years old and I have always suffered with anxiety and the diagnosis of my dads illness in November 2018 really tipped it into turmoil- I managed to get through my own anxiety and carry on and be there for my dad.
There are times where I will spend time with my dad and I feel so happy afterwards but then there are other times like family meals which really get to me and it breaks my heart to see my dad going through this . I can only imagine he feels like everyone is watching his every move and it must be uncomfortable for him. I just don’t know where to go at that moment because I just feel heartbroken , all I wanted for my parents was to have a happy retirement and watch me get married and have kids and now at 59 years of age I feel this has been taken from him .
The way my dad saw it at the diagnosis was a long death sentence and I want to get out of that frame of mind and be there for him because I love him so much but I just don’t know what to do anymore I have tried counselling.
