I miss my mom..depression..please help!?

Question

my mom went of a get-a-way vacation, and I'm stuck home..

I'm really extremely close to my mom, and she's been gone for 2 days, and she'll be back in another week.

Ive just been bashing myself over this, I miss her so much.

Ive got a pounding headache, I'm stressed, I'm depressed, I'm tearing up everytime I think about it, and I'm just lonley.

What can I do to ease depression..?

Answer 1

It's normal to miss loved ones when they leave, especially if your relationship is a close one.

What you're describing, however, sounds like it could be related to clinical co-dependence.  It's not a standard response to have physical symptoms like the ones you describe in a case like this...

Take this as an opportunity to to ween yourself.  Find some activity you normally enjoy and focus on it.  Go out with friends and be social.

Remember, if everything goes according to natures plan, your mom will one day be gone for good and you will have to learn how to live without her for the rest of your life.  That's probably not helping you today, but I hope it impresses on you the importance of addressing this issue before you have serious reaction some time down the road.

aww, i usually never answer random questions, this one popped up as i was signing into Y/A, but i felt compelled to tell you it will be OK. me and my mom are best friends too. i go batty without her and im 25. i think you should write her a mini journal of your days without her and give it to her as a nice welcome home gift.

that and go rent tv show marathons...grey's anatomy, prison break, 24, the office, project runway, etc etc....

and maybe experiment with at home cooking....

Lastly, go to your local animal shelter/human society and foster a pet for a week. It will be an amazing experience and really help you feel better.  

Answer 3

1st be happy your Mom had a chance for a vacation. Call some friends, eat chocolate, go on a run.

How old are you? You need to become 'your own self' & have your own enjoyments in life. I bet it would make you Mom very happy to see you do that.

I wish you well.
