My depression been bad since I lost my aunt a week ago and I feel like very loss again

I’m sorry for your loss. It is typical to experience a feeling of depression when there is the loss of a loved one. Experiencing grief is a healthy response. I hope you are able to let your self feel the sadness. Move into, through, and then forward from the death of your aunt into a celebration of her life and the meaning it has added to yours. Remember her with love.

Hi wilkeyduane.

I am so sorry you lost your aunt. Let yourself mourn the loss as 4 woody wrote. It is so hard when we loose a loved one.

Take care of yourself. This group is here for you. You are not alone.

I noticed you think you should talk to your family more. I’d like to suggest trying to not use the word should. You could talk to them or not. It is your choice. It is often not helpful to impose requirements on yourself, even counterproductive. Maybe spend some time consciously releasing the tension in your body for a little while. Don’t force it. Find a space where you can be relaxed, floor, bed, chair... Let yourself be sad. Let yourself cry if that is what your body is willing to do. Don’t forget to breath. 🙂. Try to remember grieving is normal and healthy.
