Grief has changed me

I lost my mum just over a year ago now and i feel so lost without her. Ive really gone in on myself and feel grief has really changed me. I was such a bubbly, outgoing character who loved to be around my friends but now i seem to be more comfortable when im on my own.....  is this normal to feel alone but at the same time wanting to be alone?

Every day different with me sometimes I struggle so bad with every thing gone on that all I do is cry and I know that not going bring my mother back . But I miss her so much :(  hope u ok u take care x

  • Hi,

    Thank u for ur message... alot of the time i want to be alone but at the same time i feel so alone. It's not my character to not pick up the phone to talk with friends in general as i used to do this all the time but right now it's very rare that i ever do it now. X

I am ok on my own but im scared of going too much into myself. Im ok when at work (cos im so busy!!!) And if i have a weekend night out but tge rest of the time, i really dont wanna do anything nor do i phone friends but then i still feel so lonely.

    I hope things ease for u x
