Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 12 months ago my mum and my died. They died within in 5 hours of each other 40 miles apart and totally unrelated. My mum was 61 and my sister 41. Watching mum suffer and deteriorate from cancer was devastating to say the least. My sister was an alcoholic but was recovering from yet another illness we never expected her to die she had help and plans in place to get better. I suddenly became the only female now in our family I felt very isolated and still do. My brothers are fantastic but they do not understand my illness (i have had depresion and chronic sadness for at least the last ten years of my life after having a traumatic childhood) and they do not know how to deal with me. I feel like i am aimlessly wandring around in pain not kowing what to do where to go and how to deal with the stuff in my head and my heart. I have started to self harm and i am very low and suicidal most of the time. I can't move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I would check the http://www.contextualpsychology.org/ website. On the left there is a way to search for an ACT therapist. Hopefully you can find one. I assume you are working through the " Get out of your mind and into your life " workbook, or one of the other books. If not you should get it and start working with it. Come back here and ask questions. Greg > > 12 months ago my mum and my died. They died within in 5 hours of each > other 40 miles apart and totally unrelated.
