i understand how you feel. i lost my mother too, and i’d have thoughts that i didn’t love her enough or that i even shouldn’t be happy because it would mean that i don’t miss her. i don’t think it’s a coincidence that we both had similar patterns of thinking- grief often comes with guilt and it can be very good at manipulating us, especially this early. my condolences to you and your family. after you give yourself time, you’ll be more at peace and will be able to remember your positive memories with her. try to feel more connected to her by sharing your memories of her with the people you love, and do the things she enjoyed. pay her a visit or light some candles at home or pick her some flowers. alcohol is something that will make the grieving process longer and worse, so i highly recommend that you see an AOD specialist if you don’t already.

I lost my brother almost a month ago. if feels like it was yesterday. my biggest worry is when i snap out of the denial stage of this grief , that i’m going to lose my mind. it’s a scary feeling and i don’t know what to do. i’m still in therapy and don’t plan on stopping either but i just worry. i’ve cried here and there but all ive done is keep myself busy and distracted from this. i have my moments - i just am in such disbelief.

I feel super sad and depressed i'm tired of feeling so scared it's really changing me. My mom is a pretty difficult person she's a borderline narcissist. Over the years our relationship has changed a lot and recently i've been pretty hard on her because i feel so angry that she's not able to support me mentally in the ways that i need. I see now that she's mentally ill herself and i should be nicer and more understanding. she doesn't know better and she's trying her best. she was just a girl once and i feel bad that i said she lacks a motherly instinct. i love her a lot and i love seeing her laugh and be herself. she's super beautiful and unique and she deserved so much more out of life. I think my ocd makes me super angry towards the people in my life because i know i deserve the love i give. I would be so willing to have a really deep loving conversation with the people close to me yet i get such surface level support.
