So it all started five years ago my gran had a serious illness she was I'll for a long time and passed away after a long horrible battle with her illness then just a month later my cousin had a heart attack I gave him CPR he sadly passed away 1 week later in hospital 3 weeks after this my other cousin passed away suddenly then a few months later my dad had a heart attack thank fully he survived I then went on to have a baby with my partner I don't think I ever grieved as so much happned at once 1 year on I have a beautiful family and a new house my partner had post natal depression obviously no fault of her own I had to take on all the responsibility in the house and with work it eventually broke us up I moved in to a bnb and eventually got my own place that costs me a fortune so I now have a lot of money issues I think the thing Thts most got to me is the transition from seeing my daughter every day to now 2-3 night a week I can't complain really as I can go see her wen I like have no issues with ex partner I'm now in a new relationship and I know I'm with the right person for me 100% although my anxiety is at it's worst it's ever been I have constant symptoms I have and itch in my chest almost feels like I have an itchy heart it drives me crazy I always have pain in my rib and I get really dizzy medication is doing nothing for me and I have decided I'm going to go down the road of talking to someone about past issues as iv now realised that this caused it I think I just blocked it all out any help would be appreciated

I think you are right. I think (with no medical background) that you have bottled up so much over the past year that it is now spilling out.
I would definitely recommend seeking some counselling. It can be wierd talking to a stranger to start with, but just tell yourself that they are getting paid to listen and help you.
I felt slightly uncomfortable when I first went as they wanted to go right back to my birth (which seemed a bit strange to me), but it did actually really help.
Good luck.

Sometimes a good heartfelt, shoulder shaking cry can work wonders. (I am not making light - one cry is not going to fix everything in your case, but it is a start and you may find that once you've opened that gate, things get easier, or you at least get to release some of that pent up emotion).
Don't be alarmed if you find yourself a more emotional person after all of this either - I never used to cry before I went through anxiety / depression and sought counselling. But I learnt that that was because I had been bottling it up inside.
Now that I have a cry when I need to, I do find it easier to release that tension I used to feel.
