Coping with dads funeral
My dad died suddenly. I have been diagnosed with bipolar 2 head injury and anxiety and depression and have religious trauma. He was a seventh day Adventist and mum is very religious. I have been living with them since my head injury. I have really high anxiety about how I'm going to cope with the funeral. I also have social anxiety. I'm dreading the sadness, the religious themes that trigger my fear feeling like people will be watching me and seeing how I am coping and then when we have afternoon tea. There may be people I may want to see and talk to but I'm fearing the small talk and how I am functioning. I have a friend who is going to be there to support me. Any ideas on how to get through it.
