I don't know if I should say this considering my experience is a bit different. but I need to kind of talk about my feelings. I recently lost someone I cared much about. My guy friend That I wanted to meet from online. We would video chat and what not, He unexpectedly passed away.. He was 26 and had a aneurysm which caused a stroke.   It hurts quite a bit, especially since now well never experience the things we would talk about, that's the hard part to live with. I wish I had allowed to come over when he would ask. Now everything is gone. I sent a paper rose wreath I made to the funeral home for the memorial service. His mom has the wreath. I had to do something.

I found out some wonderful things about him and some sad things since his passing. The first days I cried like I never cried before. I couldn't keep food down and  didn't want to get up. I'm doing a bit better now. However, it's still difficult  to sleep at times and sometimes I feel like breaking down, but I don't want to cry anymore . Most days I still expect him to text me or call or even randomly bump into each other ironically, but that is wishful thinking. Sometimes I think i see small signs he is with me.  I see him in my dreams, or I see a random butterfly,(which is Ironic since I used to call him my social butterfly.) but then i  sigh and think again that it's wishful thinking. 

Who knew it would hurt so much losing someone from online..

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
