As I write this I am getting ready to go to my ex-girlfriend's funeral. I lost my ex-girlfriend on March 22 she was a recovering addict's who had a relapse. She died from a heroin overdose. We had recently started seeing each other and talk together again and I discussed the possibility of getting back together, she overdosed on a Sunday afternoon and I was supposed of been there with her that evening. I have all kinds of emotions that I'm feeling, guilt been a huge one. I know it wasn't my fault that she did this , it was the disease of being an addict. I am just trying to find ways to cope. I have no one to talk to that actually understands how I feel. I get a lot of, "I'm sorry". I appreciate everybody who tells me that, but it's starting to get to me.

It seems like every day gets a little bit easier, but little things will just set me off and I will lose it.

So far I have not lost anyone close to me like you have but understand in a way what you are trying to cope with. I want to suggest a movie that I have watched many times that might help you.

It is called "28 Days". It is worth a try. I am very sorry for your loss.

I will check it out. Thank you

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
