Hi everyone

It has been a very long time since I last messaged.i have been very down of late but finally getting help from my GP. Those of you who know me know I lost my Dad in March.

I could use a bit of advice. It seems that a couple of my siblings are not talking to me and I am also finding it very hard to engage in conversation with them. I am currently on sick leave and won't be going back to work until January. I am also still dealing with my emotions and struggling to understand myself again , which may be the reason why I cannot talk to them.

I know what I want to say but it just won't come out of my mouth. I have tried writing things down but that also does not seem to have helped.

Any feedback great fully appreciated.

Hello Taranis

It is very early days for you since you lost your Dad. Do you have other siblings you are closer to, or friends who are supportive? Has your GP referred you for talking therapies, or is there a local service like Cruse where you could talk about how you are feeling? Some counselling services are running using zoom sessions. It's great that you have reached out to people on here. Sometimes when I am feeling very low I ring the Samaritans. Sometimes it helps to talk to a sympathetic stranger. I hope this helps. Above all, be kind to yourself.
