Last year my dad had a seizure at the gym and the doctors discovered a tumor in his brain. I know a lot of people have some really bad things happen, so by comparison my dad is okay.
Since that time last year, I've gone through a lot of different emotional states. I live far away from home at University. Term is about to start back and I feel like I'm having so many bad days. I just keep crying. Logically, I know my dad is fine but it's my dad. I can't help worrying about him and wishing that he wasn't ill.
I've read a couple of posts on here. Everyone seems so nice and friendly. I just want to be okay. Does anyone have any advice for coping?
