Feeling Numb

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not tired but I just feel disconnected with what's going on around me right now. I struggle to care about things as of late. This is probably an effect of my Great Aunt's death last week but there may be other contributing factors as well. Like when my friends start bitching about what's going on with our faire, I usually would be jumping right in with them but now I'm just like, "meh." I want to know when I can start feeling like I usually do again. When will things be like how they used to be? I miss my Great Aunt so much. Not being informed of the funeral until after it happened doesn't help I'm sure. I just want closure so I can get on with my life like how my Great Aunt would want me to. >.<

maybe write down all your goodbyes to her?
i actually found it's a really good technique even though i was skeptical.

oh definitely not when other people are around.
but it helped me let go of some things.
i did burn the letters after i wrote them, but some people (apparently) like to keep them or put them in a balloon etc.

*should not disclose my thoughts of heaven etc*

Erisad, this will just take some time. You can't do much but pull through. Maybe things like writing letters to your loved one will help, maybe not, maybe not now. Keep on getting up in the morning, get through the day, go back to bed and take some time out for grieving (without people around). I guess that's what "coping" is all about, just pulling through. Things will get better again.

i do the bottling up thing too.
i just end up getting drunk and hurting myself when it gets too much.

my St. Paddys day was staying in and drinking Guiness and watching an irish actor on TV.

ice cream is good times.


maybe you just need a really good cry.

it's not a bad thing it still makes you sad (if you know what i mean).
it takes time to heal.

try the letter writing thing when you have time.
i still do it now over things when i get upset - even little ones.
