I second the above member.  I think there is a lot more going on here than just withdrawals.  I don't remember if you mentioned that you have any aftercare or therapy but I think it would be a good idea.  I think a grief counselor is a wonderful idea and I hope it gives you some hope and relief.  Death is very painful and I am so sorry for your loss.

I can hear the sorrow in your voice and I understand the pain. I lost my mom 5-1/2 years ago and I am still going through the grieving process. It takes time and it is hard.

I mentioned to you the other day that what you are feeling is not substance abuse related and you yourself said that several times as well. I would like to see you get help and don't think you will get the best help here. Members can understand and talk with you but you need to learn to grieve and, as I said, it is a process. I further suggested that you speak with a psychiatrist and you said you would go to counseling. I suggested the psychiatrist because that are able to write prescriptions and I believe medication would help you along with therapy. They have some good anti-depressants on the market today and the doctor can best decide what is right for you.

In the meantime, there is a Grief & Loss community here at MedHelp as well as a Depression Community. I think you would get help there and those members can talk with you and share their experience and even recommend which medication best worked for them. I hope you will check out both communities.

Please do not wait, make that appointment and begin the healing process right away.
