My Father died in 1999 after 14months in hospital.
I have always been angry with him since then for not trying harder to get better - it's a long story but basically he just gave up.
Last night I was very tearful about what seemed to be nothing at the start but as always, my wife was fantastic.
Very caring, very gentle, very understanding.
All of a sudden I blurted out in the tears that "I so miss my Dad"
That was the first time since his death I have felt like that.
I cried and cried my eyes out.
I felt like a little boy that had lost his daddy just when they were best frends.
Even as I type now I can feel emotion welling up.
We went on to talk for ages about him and I reminisced like I have never done since he died.
I've felt a bit different about all things anxiety based ever since.
Not sure if it's better at the moment...it's just...different.
Time will tell if it's a permamnet and better new perspective or not I guess but I just wondered if anyone else has ever had a change in perspective of anxious thoughts and whatnot brought on by something like this?
