Hello there, people of the internet, this is my first time using this forum so please excuse any mistakes I make, or if this doesn't make sense at all haha.
Recently, I've been extremely down because of the loss of my Mum back in 2014, with a lot of anxiety and depression consuming my emotions. It got so bad that I didn't want to go to school and I got extensions on my assignments. I just get constantly reminded of her, and while I have a step-mum, it doesn't help the overwhelming sense of grief, as she could never be a replacement (my step-mum is super awesome tho).
Whenever I talk about it with any of my friends, it feels like they don't understand how to comfort me (which is completely understandable, as it is an extremely heavy topic), but this leads me to feel isolated in a sense. If I'm at one of their houses, I feel like the emotional one, while all my friends are having fun without a care in the world.
I am getting professional help through my school counselor and a psychologist and they help because I like talking about my emotions, but as I said, my emotions are a heavy subject for most people.
Anyway, I think that's enough, for now haha, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you!
