I'm just really, really sad.?

Question

Not chronically, but my mum just died and my step dad/minister is sending me to Catholic boarding school. I don't like being sad and I often act rashly when I am sad. I'm not really sure what to do.

Answer 1

i'm sorry for what happened. your sadness is normal and not serious. people who lost someone valuable in their lives recover normally through time. you will recover as time pass by. you can do these things to help you recover from your sadness.

1. Face up to the issue. Though other people around you may help you temporarily forget your pain, you'll never truly heal until you confront the situation. Ignoring the pain and not feeling it can sometimes bring serious repercussions later.

2. Share your feelings with others. If you can't find a friend, lean on a compassionate stranger.

3. Let your pain come out. Let the tears flow. It is okay to cry even if you are not the kind of person who shows your feelings.

4. Do whatever gives you peace; gardening, cooking, fishing, listening to your favorite music, walking, drawing, painting, writing, etc.

5. Participate in any activity you may enjoy; drama, surfing, deep sea diving, rock climbing, rafting, bungee jumping.

6. Remember that time heals. It doesn't cure, it never will; but that's a good thing. We never forget those who we love. And shouldn't. We wouldn't want to be forgotten.

7. Love yourself. If you fall (and you will fall), laugh at yourself, kick yourself in the butt and and go on.

8. Allow yourself to heal. Allow yourself to be whole.

Life is beautiful. It has many wonderful surprises in store for you. So go ahead smile, visit new places, meet new people and you never know where you may find a miracle. be happy and move forward.

First of all let me say how sorry I am to read how sad you are and about you recently losing your Mum. No wonder you are sad. On top of your loss you now have to face a major life-change as well.

I wish you were with me now and then I could give you a great big hug, lots of them as well as a nice hot drink & fancy cake all to your liking.

try just lying down and clearing your mind. Also talk to your step dad to see if he will let you stay at home. Tell him that since you just hit a bump on the road you just want to stay home.
