Depression

Hello @Agirl and welcome to the forums. Well done for reaching out, that takes strength. I'm sorry to hear what you have gone through recently, even just one of those things would have been hard let alone going through so many.

Have you thought about seeing a Gp and getting a referral to talk to a psychologist/counsellor? It can also take time to find the right medication, but i also found that medication is best used in conjunction with therapy.

I know Sane run guided therapy programs @tyme may be able to help more with that.

You are not alone and we are here to support you however we can. Take care of yourself and I'm here to chat if you want/ need to ❤️.

@Agirl the loss of your mother is always going to be a huge grief journey. I would look for grief groups or death cafes, get counseling but be careful about your own life.

I spent a lot of time wanting to be with… what I call… my dead people. Somehow we need to wade through the grief waters, come to terms, little bit by little bit, and eventually find new meaning.

I found one tip helpful… to have a photo, gift, plant, special memory object… to focus on and help externalise some of the feelings.

Maybe work on your financial management, separately, bit by bit too. Most people have spent too much sometimes.

Hopefully your relationship with your dad is navigable… it’s a tricky time of adjustment.

Be kind to yourself

Hey @Agirl ,

How are you today?

Like what @outlander said, do you have any supports in place? It sounds so hard to sit with all these things on your own.

Have you shared your feelings with a GP or someone?
