I have had a rough time lately. I have lost two best friends, one to accidental drug overdose and the other has had a debilitating stroke which she is unable to perform anything by herself. We are like sisters. I also have lost two pets. Finances are tough. Sometimes I feel so alone and lost. When I think about this , I feel sad and cry. Is this a normal response to loss? Right now loss terrifies me. I have seen my doctor and he has put me on buspirone, as needed and increased my fluoxetine. I am also going to start seeing my therapist again. The morning anxiety is the worst. I need some reassurance that this will get better. It really sucks!
Need some support

I would say that is a normal response to loss. I’m so sorry to hear about your friends and pets. They say time heals so it will get better it just might take a little more time.I have had a rough time lately.

Thank you, I really needed to hear that!I would say that is a normal response to loss. I’m so sorry to hear about your friends and pets. They say time heals so it will get better it just might take a little more time.
I'm so sorry for what you are experiencing. Losing those we love (humans and animals) is really losing a little part of our hearts, so what you are feeling is normal. Sadly, nothing but time will make your grief lessen. I lost my last pet who was like a child to me 10 years ago, and I still think of her and miss her every day, but it no longer hurts. Time really does heal grief. The saying is the great sadness when we lose someone is the price we pay for great love. Take care.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss and the pain you’re experiencing. Hearing ‘pain is part of life, loss is part of life’ certainly doesn’t help to begin with, at least not for me. I can almost feel your struggles. If you ever need to talk, please know I’m here. Happy to chat privately tooI have had a rough time lately.

I'm sorry for your loss and what you're going through. I've lost a dear friend of mine from highschool. His heart just stopped beating when he was asleep, he was still so young as well. I've also lost good relatives to cancer and it sucks. Just know that you're not alone and we're here to chat with you if u wanna vent and such.

Missy, I think what you are feeling is totally normal... the way you and your body is reacting to the loss of loved ones is normal (even though you may not think it.) Just hang in there for now and get by... good days are up ahead for you...
Thanks for the response. I have good days and bad. Seeing a therapist which helps me a bunch.Missy, I think what you are feeling is totally normal... the way you and your body is reacting to the loss of loved ones is normal (even though you may not think it.)
