dealing with death psychology

The most important step I took was going to see a counselor...it may sound cliche, but knowledge is power when dealing with something confusing and what we know little about. As with anything, the more you know about something, the less you tend to fear it. Keep us posted!

I am dealing with Bipolar Depression... My insurance doesn't cover mental health so I don't have any meds. Before I lost my ex husbands insurance, I was taking six differents meds that helped me mix in with therapy and now I have nothing. I am getting worse by the day... I cry all the time. I overly depend on my boyfriend which I just started 4 month ago and it has been good. But my depression is pushing him away.

for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???

Now I become irritated thinking of him. My husband does not stay with me(abroad). Days are passing very badly. Mentally um just broke. What should I do to be cheered up?

Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.

The problem with some aspects of psychology, not all of it, is the fact it is partially subjective but not in all areas. Everyone has their emotional problems even just once and psychology knows what these are and how to combat them but there are still areas of uncertainty.

Have you read any psychology books on dealing with kids like this. I studied psychology for a couple of years as a undergrad and man trust these studies they are very helpful. I don't have any kids but thought I would put in my two cents. Plus why not go see a psychologist, this isn't the dark ages anymore almost all things like anxiety ADD, OCD whatever are just genetically inherited like having blue eyes.

Would Psychology 101 be good? I need that class lol.

im 19 wks pregnant and i have a fetus with a diagnosis of CPC im scared to death because i have to wait 3 wks to go to a specialist...anyone have any hopes or ideas??

i don't know how you deal with losing a child. I'm not so sure that i can ever get through this, how do you do it? I mean get up every day and not feel guilty for living without them. I feel so guilty every day for getting out of bed and her not being here. I need some advice please.

Thanks for your quick response Doctor. Your words really do put my mind at ease. I may still do some follow up testing to be sure. I don't know why I keep putting myself in this predicament. I really love my family, but believe I have an addiction...a demon I've been dealing with for years that I thought I had under control. Perhaps I can address that one in the psychology forum! Thanks!!!

I hope that Tuck didn't really mean "hell" in his greeting to you... Back in September, I had an experience that really shook me up. My CP situation has been going on for about 12 years, and there's not much I haven't tried in dealing with it (well, OK, there are a bunch of meds I haven't tried, but I'm still working a full time job with a substantial commute, so I've really limited the doping up as much as I could).

What you describe may be nothing more than the normal curiousity of what sounds like a very precocious child.

I agree with treazzure, and will add to not make a big deal when you leave her at daycare. Act excited and happy about her 'adventure' of going, otherwise she might catch on to your fear and upset. And most daycares won't mind if you go visit her briefly the first few months to make sure she's okay.

My mother(age 47) has drasticly gone down hill in the past 4yrs. It seemed to all happen at once and in the past year things have gotten worse. Heart disease runs strong in my family,not many have lived past 50yrs old.My mom has hypertension,high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, and heart disease to name a few. This past July she had to have emergeny double bypass surgery and had a minor heartatacke about a month after the surgery.

Shut off our phones and mourned our babies death. We went to this nice winery with a beautiful river that ran by it and at sunset picked a flower for every week of our babies life with us in my belly and sent them down the river with thoughts and prayers of that journey. I don't know if it will help you but it at least gave me some closure. It's such a hard thing to go threw. I understand.

t know how stressed this is making you but understanding, at least for me, came from knowing much more about what I was dealing with (Caretaker stress is a real issue for support people/family) by reading and learning more, by living healthy and by getting support. I am having surgery next week. IT is cancer, without a doubt.

Hi, If you are feeling fairly constantly like "why did this happen to me?" - and this is an entirely understandable feeling to have - then I suggest organising to see a specialist for dealing with emotional side of trauma, such as a psychologist, or perhaps a psychiatrist (psychiatrists can prescribe medication for depression, anxiety, etc), or both. They can't stop your physical pain but they can assist you in getting on top of the worst emotional aspects.
