My Mother was killed in amotercycle accident on Thanksgiving of last year, 11-27-03 a date forever burned into my head, I am 28 yrs old and feel like I am going crazy really like I need to go to a hospital. Now my doctors do not seem to think so, and I don't always feel that way but my anxiety attacks are so bad now the only thing that helps is the xanax. So, I will take as much of it as I know will stop all of my symptoms.

so......

HELP. I don't know what to do anymore so I am turning to you. I have both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I see both up to 3 times a month. I am on xanax and wellbutrin.
Xanax 3mg twice a day, wellbutrin 300mg once a day.

My mom died in an accident when I was 11. I am 27 now. Growing up I used to have these periods when I would just cry and cry and then I would be ok for a few months. Her death was never really discussed at home and my dad has never remarried.
I am in a steady relationship since past 5 years, but feel unable to trust my partner 100%. I am like this with almost everyone except my dad, and the people around me can feel that distrust. I was wondering if anyone had experienced a similar thing and if it has anything to do with my mom's death?
Thanks.

The book Home by the actress Sela Ward helped me a lot after my Mother's desk.

Talking with friends who were in the same situation and also spending time in nature helped too.
My Mother died just 4 months after my Grandmother so my emotions were a wreck.
Time does help with the anguish. At first when something suddenly reminded me of my Mother I would unexpectedly burst into tears. Now after a few years I still miss her terribly but am not so visibly emotional about it.

My mother died when I was 11 days old. To this day it hurts me even though I never knew her, but it's still painful. The only thing you can do is remind yourself that even though she's gone, she's in a better place. She has nothing to worry about and she's at peace. Remind yourself that when she was alive, you may have had a good relationship with her, and be thankful you had her in your life. She might be dead but she's still with you in spirit. Just focus on the other good things in life. Talk to a friend, try doing things you once enjoyed, or find a hobby.

First of all.

Look up to the sky, some special night. Find a star, one that catches your eye. Tell that star how much you love her and miss her. Hold the vision of the star in your mind thinking only of her.

Tell no-one of your special star. Speak to her as often as you like. Listen to what she has to say to you. The little voice inside.

Make no matter of declaring the exact star worry of position, for in the mind's eye you will remember her for the rest of your life.

Look up to the sky, you will find her again. Listen to the little voice inside. And when the fangs of panic set in, look to the sky for your special friend.

For mountains can crumble, rivers can vanish, but the stars...
