Hi I’m new and unsure of what I’m doing. I do know I recently felt something was wrong and have been diagnosed with anxiety after losing 2 sisters 10 days apart and many other relatives in a 12 month period. My feelings are overwhelming with these losses and learning to cope with my own thoughts. Speaking with others may guide me through
