thanks, appreciate it. i lost my mom a year ago and my best frienfd told me it will get worse before it gets better, i just never dreamt that he meant a year later it would still be bad. anyways...just trying to get up enough courage to either talk to my dr. about meds or go to counciling cuz it is aff3ecting everything in my life now. anyways sorry to be rambling.

no problem....I lost my dad 10 yrs ago and it was hard....actually it didn't effect me right away....I guess I went into shock or something because I was fine at first and then it just hit me like a ton of bricks. And I was affected by it for a long time. I was only 17 when he died and I had some issues because our relationship wasn't the best so that just made it worse. But one thing that I can offer is turn to your family and friends. That's what got me through some of the hard times. And also, I'm not going to preach to you since I'm far from being a religious person but maybe turn towards GOD. Pray and ask for guidance. Wow, that sounds weird coming from me but sometimes it does really seem to work.
