Hey guys.

I just wanted to talk to someone or just get my feelings out. I’ve been going through a lot of stress with my family these past months. 2 deaths, breakup, moving and last Thursday my sister and brothers father got into a car accident, their younger brother (7yrs old) was also in the car and is now in a coma fighting for his life. 

One of my sisters cousins tried sending her a picture and videos of the crash but I got to them first and deleted them. But I can’t get the images out of my head and I want that boy to survive so bad. 

My work knows briefly of everything going on and I thought I could work on Monday but I felt so much adrenaline and panic, I went to the washroom to cry and I finally had the courage to ask them if I could leave early because I just feel very off and I’m unable to perform. I feel so embarrassed and that I’m a burden. 

I didn’t know I would feel this much I also need to say my personality is very much an introvert, I don’t like to show much a emotion and I try to not make a big deal about things but I’m starting to feel overwhelmed and not sure how to manage my attacks/anxiety at this period in my life. 

Would love to hear other peoples situations or what has worked for them.
