I lost my dad on the 8th of December, he died of brain cancer that was diagnosed in march, im 16 years of age and since he’s gone I’ve just felt lost. I question every life choice I make and just want to make sure I do him proud, other family life is complicated and since this happened has just gotten worse, I want to go speak to someone about everything but my social anxiety is preventing me from making any attempt to, if anyone is in my situation and tried counciling did it make any difference?
Hi Max welcome to the forum and I am so sorry first to hear of your Dads death and secondly how you are feeling.
I feel certain that your Dad will be so proud of everything that you do as that's what parents do. I know I am proud of my sons but sadly I dont always tell them that and assume that they know that.
How would you feel if you couldn't see the person but spoke to them on the phone about how toy are feeling and ask advice, could that work for you? The reason for asking is that the Macmillan line have trained Counsellors that you could speak with and they are great listeners. open everyday 8am-8pm. 08088080000.
I hope that you do think about it and pick up the phone, its always good to talk with someone and you need never see them nor meet them again, so totally confidential to you.
