Rejection

[Mdn]

I feel really guilty writing this or talking about this.

I was quite young when one of my parents attepted suicide, I never felt like talking about it. I only saw them brievly before a family friend grabed me and took me out of the room. My parents got divorce short after. I always managed to deal with these things in myself. I lost someone close to me recently and it I dont really know how to explain it.

I exercise regurly, its just like you can run until your legs give out from under you and it helps, in a way as weird as it sound I get a break from trying to figure out everything all the time...

Hi Mdn,

I am very sorry for your loss. Grief and loss is hard, point blank; it's one of the most difficult things to have to go through...there's no right or wrong way to cope. Some cry; others don't. Some lose themselves in work; others can't get out of bed to go to work. Etc, etc.

Sometimes when 1 thing happens, I think it can sort of trigger a whole bunch of other emotions. Maybe this person's recent passing was a painful reminder of the fragility of life, and how you almost lost your parent at one point. Sorry, I'm interpreting "attempt" means your parent survived? Please feel free to correct me I have misunderstood you.

I hear what you're saying about the running. I don't consider myself a runner but I've read accounts of people who use running as a form of self help. I imagine that there is something very cathartic about putting one foot in front of the other, and pounding the pavement or grass. Running maybe helps to get you out of your own head, which is probably a good thing sometimes.

Kind thoughts,

Pepper

Hi Mdn

Firstly, please don't feel guilty. This site is anonymous, it is safe to talk. You won't be picked on or made to feel responsible for things out of your control.

We all deal with grief differently, but generally, there are 5 stages, and they mix and mingle a lot. You may also still be grieving over your home break-up from the divorce, whether it was for the better or worse, there is still grieving.

Feel free to open up here, and others who have similar experiences/feelings will pop in to say hi too.

Take care

[Guest_9809]

Yes Moon .. thats correct. I wish you well Moon. It'll be easy to remember you .... every full moon I will see your profile picture and think of you. And also see you with some sort of a cauldron cooking up spells. (-:

Mdn - Sorry for intruding on your thread. How are you doing by the way? I havent seen you around for a bit.

Hi

No worries at all. Just trying to figure things out as I go. If not at work I go for a run
