Question:
Dear Cin, Xanax can help alleviate the anxiety symptoms but you will still feel sad. It is normal to feel sad when you are grieving, and Christmas intensifies this sadness. Take care, love Meryl

I will tell you a bit about myself. My name is Cin and i live in Australia, i am 20. My big brother died on the 3rd of March this year, he was 24 at the time (now should be 25) He was killed by his ‘friend’, its a long story. We found out the night he was on life support that his girlfriend was pregnant. Faith Christianna was born on the 21st of September, exactly one month after her daddys 25th bday. My brother Chris, is/was also a identical twin, so it has been very hard on us. My doctor has given me Xanax to try.. my worse days are sunday nights monday mornings, i just cant get to sleep, and when i do i cant get myself out of bed. I spend all day trying to control my breathing and feel like im not going to get through the day. I have only used the tablets once, last sunday… I only got them to get me through those bad moments… As i said, i dont know if i am in the right place, all i know is that my world has been tumbleing down around me the last 9 months and i dont know how i am going to handle going on like this for too much longer… Sorry this is a bit long, i have been having a bad night… Take care all Cin — We really never lose the ones we love… They live forever within our hearts.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Dear Cin: Sounds like you are having a very rough time. I lost a brother years back and stuffed the anger and grief I had over his death. That was one of the reasons I ended up depressed and with panic. I can send you a chapter of my latest book that deals with grief. There are a lot of support groups out there and you might want to find a counselor who specializes in grief work. Some rules I learned about grief. First, it comes in waves, often difficult to control. The more you stuff it the more it will manifest itself in other ways. For me, I had to accept that grief is a process of letting go and that I wasn’t in control of the process. Trust the process, trust yourself and find someone to guide you; preferably a good counselor. Having gotten to the other side of my grief I experience life as I never had before. Grief is natural, normal and necessary so feel it. Have a better one, Steve Hi everyone… I got directed to this group by a friend Daniel.

Response:
Hi Cin, Welcome to a fellow Aussie. So sorry for the tragic loss of your brother. Feel free to post your thoughts at any time. We are here to support you. My doctor has given me Xanax to try.. my worse days are sunday nights, monday mornings, i just cant get to sleep, and when i do i cant get myself out of bed.
I hope the Xanax can provide you with some relief, if it doesn’t you may wish to discuss it further with your doctor. Are you getting any grief or trauma counselling? A specialist in this area may be able to provide you with some coping strategies. I spend all day trying to control my breathing and feel like im not going to get through the day.
In what way are you trying to contol the breathing? If you’re hyperventilating, have you tried breathing in and out of a paper bag. Meditation or aromatherapy may help relax. {{{{{Cin}}}}} you must be so exhausted at the end of such a day both physically and emotionally. My thoughts are with you and your family. Vanessa )

I have been taking Xanax 3 times a day for years. They have helped me a lot by blocking my symptoms, especially the breathing problems. Welcome to ASAP Cin, love Meryl
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi everyone… I got directed to this group by a friend Daniel. I am a ‘member’ of alt.support.grief and he told me that i may be interested in this group. I dont know if im in the right place I will tell you a bit about myself. My name is Cin and i live in Australia, i am 20. My big brother died on the 3rd of March this year, he was 24 at the time (now should be 25) He was killed by his ‘friend’, its a long story. We found out the night he was on life support that his girlfriend was pregnant. Faith Christianna was born on the 21st of September, exactly one month after her daddys 25th bday. My brother Chris, is/was also a identical twin, so it has been very hard on us. My doctor has given me Xanax to try.. my worse days are sunday nights monday mornings, i just cant get to sleep, and when i do i cant get myself out of bed. I spend all day trying to control my breathing and feel like im not going to get through the day. I have only used the tablets once, last sunday… I only got them to get me through those bad moments… As i said, i dont know if i am in the right place, all i know is that my world has been tumbleing down around me the last 9 months and i dont know how i am going to handle going on like this for too much longer… Sorry this is a bit long, i have been having a bad night… Take care all Cin — We really never lose the ones we love… They live forever within our hearts. They say a man isn’t dead unless he is forgotten, my brother will never be forgotten When a baby is born the angels weep and humans rejoice. When a loved one dies, humans weep, but the angels rejoice." http://www.cindyc.vze.com/
