Looking for someone to talk to about depression
Posted: 03-07-08 02:47am

Hello, I'm not the type of person that usually talks about things...usually I keep everything I feel to myself, which I know I shouldn't do.

Like too many people, I lost my mom to lung cancer, she didn't smoke...but it took her away all the same. I think about her all the time, I dream about her, and its really really hard to even live without her. She was my best friend. It just all happened so fast, I try not to think about it.....I still have my dad but he wont talk to me or listen to me when I want to talk about it. I know he hurts as much as me, and I know he is sad, I can hear him cry at night. I wouldn't ever commit suicide, because I know how my mom feels about that. I'm not too religious....but I strongly feel my mom is in a good place now and that comforts me some.

It's just so hard at night for me, I don't know what to do and I'm very sad Sad

I'm a shy person, but I'd like to talk to someone....please?

Thanks for your time, I aprreciate it alot.

Hi and welcome to our great family. Help is here for you. I can empathize with you. My mom also has lung cancer and is 82 years old. You sound like a very smart and sound so much like me. You have to understand the the greeving process is a very personal thing and takes some longer then others. Your outlook on your mom's passing is to be applauded.
Maybe, just maybe you can ask your doctor for a light seditive (there are non-narcotics) out there that you can take to help you through this at night. Yoga is also a wonderful way to escape from reality for awhile. Music that is soothing to the brain while meditating is great. I myself don't know what I would do without it.
Tell ya what. Try this......if you have a walkman, get yourself some soothing soundscapes music and wear it when you sleep. I works for me. Kinda puts you into a deeper realm of sleep (what we call "Thata State) of sleep which you do not achieve during regular sleep.
Let us know how you do. And again you are in the right place for help. Please keep posting because we do care about you.

Lovingly,
Carrie
