Hey,
I still live at home, and a couple of years ago my brother got really ill on Easter day. I didn't see anything, but the memory of the tension and the horrible situation still makes me feel anxious. A few days after, I came down with the same virus (the dreaded N__). I remember it extremely vividly, especially those terrifying couple of hours before I got ill, but suspected I was. Every time I think of Easter this year I feel so scared I don't know what to do. Last year I spent the evening the same way; so scared I didn't want to move. If I mention any of this to my family, they act like I'm just being silly and it really doesn't help.
Does anyone have any advice for either just dealing with the anxiety, or dissociating Easter from this memory?
Thank you!
