Finally Talking and it Feels GREAT!

I never had anyone that I could speak with about my brothers death...  Friends didn't understand and couldn't help, and parents never wanted to speak about it; it hurt them too much.  I bottled everything up and never spoke about anything that was on my mind regarding his passing.  Now, though, I'm in a program that encourages talking about past hurts and present struggles; it feels amazing.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
