It is the upcoming anniversary of my Pop's death which I was reminded of by the anniversary of a death for someone else. It has brought back alot of memories and grief.
Combining that with some other stuff in 'the real world' - I haven't known what to do or where to go. It really felt like I was on my own and really alone again. I haven't coped with any of it at all well.

Tawney,
Thanks so much for your warm welcome, I appreciate it.
Yes anniversaries are really difficult, I'm only recently coming to realise that. Especially my Dad's.
I might go in search of those other grief threads that you mentioned - It's been hard to find opportunities or support, to share experiences (or thoughts) about losing someone close.

Hi again @utopia @Mazarita
I have a bit of a dilemma and thought it best to discuss here. Hope that is ok by both of you - it's a thread that is a bit distanced from our normal ones.

I need your advice on something @utopia @Mazarita
I am feeling a bit 'suffocated' at the moment and I think it is adding to my anxiety.
Any advice from either of you?

@Zoe7, it's a hard one to talk about in a way... let me think for a little bit.

Yes @Mazarita it really is!

I knew you would know exactly what I was talking about @utopia 
Sometimes it is so quick for a 'nice' conversation to turn and that has a ripple effect. I have had enough issues on here lately and I was just staring to feel comfortable again - but I am feeling on edge again - like there is always a 'crisis' right around the corner and I don't want to be 'dragged' into it. I am also starting to lose touch with my closest 'friends' because I am avoiding being here - and that does make me sad.
