Empty Inside

[Hi838]

Just haven’t felt the same since a relative passed. I litterily have no genuine human connection anymore. Family is totally superfical and never ask how im doing via email call nor text. No more friends since my mental illness with a couple of breakdowns scare them off. My social skills have dimisihed and no longer have confidence i’ve once had to make any friends nor do i care anymore. I’m still at lost!

Hi Hi838

Welcome to our friendly Community,

Really sorry you feeling so lost after losing your relative. It is hard and we just don’t know how it will affect us.

Loss is so isolating and that’s particularly difficult to cope.

You’re always welcome here and there’s always someone to answer your posts, but if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you could have a chat with your Doctor or ask for a referral for Bereavement counselling, always worthwhile to talk things through, and it will give you a chance to take that important first step to healing.

In the meantime, you could keep a journal, it seems to help getting things off your chest or make a memory box.

Sending support
