Hey guys, Liam here. I just wanted to say that I now finally have a girl mate who I can talk to about my struggles and she’s a great person. Thank you guys so much for listening to me in the time I’ve been here.

Dear Liam~
I'm very pleased you have found someone you can confide in and who will listen. Such a person may understand, or may like my partner do their best and simply be kind and constant -it makes huge difference. If that blossoms into a romance that would be great too. Do remember serious talk is fine, but just as important is fun!
I saw before that you have been very worried about the loss of your Nan and Pop and those thoughts have been a big part of your life. It can be very natural to worry about the death of loved ones, particularly after the death of your friend and your Nan's fall.
I'm not sure you are talking about hallucinations, but more reveries where you think of something to the exclusion of everything else -and many in fact conjure up happy or unhappy endings. Fear of loss is very powerful. Can I suggest you talk to your Nan about this seriously and become reminded she is still here and the person she always was.
If you would like to let us know how you get on that would be great

Dear Liam~
OK now you have had the deep discussion - which sounds as if it went well, try for some fun with her.
Make you both feel better as I'd be pretty sure your Nan worries about you, so it would make a nice getaway from those serious things.
