My husband of 23 years passed away three years ago after a two year battle with brain cancer. I did everything I could for him while he was still at home. He died at the end of June. In Sept my sons moved out to go to university and I pretty well spend the year in a fog. The following summer I met a guy and we hung out together for a while, went on vacation etc., then my mom started getting sick. So I was too busy to date as I was looking after her from October to June when she died of lung cancer. Also my step dad passed away 6 weeks before she did. (just some background) So now it is a year later... I have had a few dates with some nice guys... some bad dates with some not so nice guys, too. At first I thought it was just nerves... not used to dating etc. But now I realize that I am feeling anxiety and stress. My stomach tightens up into a knot, my shoulders tense up and gives me a headache, and I get that creepy feeling of unease. Now i could understand if it was before the date... but this happens after the date. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with me? Am I not ready to date? Have I just gone mental? I do take antidepressants but have taken them for quite a while even before hubby got sick. Does it go away? Any tips on getting rid of it?? Thanks. Sue
