A few years ago most of the older part of my family all seemed to die over the span of a couple of months, I've never really been close with many of them but it was if my world was ending because I don't really know anyone outside my family. Now it seems when anything I like may go away, I'll keep having panic attacks. I also get them when I have to be around a group of people I don't know, for varying reasons, is there a way to stop them from happening?

I could have written your post ... I lost my mother, two aunts (her sisters), and my cousin in a three year span. Like you, I felt very alone and anxious. I had friends but had not invested the time in those relationships that I wish I had.

I've spent years since then developing relationships that help sustain me and I have worked to be open-minded about who those friends might be ... one is with a woman who is 25 years older than me but very wise and loving. It has been a long road but worthwhile. (((Fleury29)))

I worry all the time about losing loved ones, it puts me in a state of panic.
I lost both my parents and I'm still grieving, I just can't take another loss.

I also worry about losing my parents as they are getting up in years. If I lost my Mom, I don't know what I'll do. The thing is I know eventually it will happen. And then who will have my best interests at heart? I'm not that close to my brothers and would be too much of a burden for them.
