newbie

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this group
I lost my dad in january this year, then my great Aunt and then my stepdad all in the space of a few weeks.
I'm still working my way through all sorts of emotions.
Anxiety, stress, lonliness, depression, anger - wow I've never expressed my anger until now, I've started punching my bed and beating up cardboard boxes.
Lots of past issues are rearing their heads - I've realised my relationship with my mother is no where near what I was telling myself it was, and I've realised how dysfunctional my behaviour in relationships is.
All this while I'm in New Zealand - supposedly on the trip of a lifetime

Welcome to the group and know that anger is a common feeling to have when going through the grief process, especially if there are unresolved issues in your past...the good news is that you are admitting what you are feeling, getting connected to others, and aware of how the past is affecting you as you grieve. You have gone through a lot of loss and pain within this last year and I encourage you to continue stepping out and getting support from others. I wish you the best through this difficult process!

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
