Am I Being Selfish? Please Advise Me by Nobody: 9:02am On Nov 20, 2017
I’m taking a mental health break as I was at risk of breaking down and making a fool of myself

Retreating from society

Until January 2018

Just taking time to see where my life is going and come to terms with mums death

But I’m worried because some of my friends may be worried and wondering where I am (I deleted Facebook, changed my number etc no one has access to me)

Also, because I have not been going to socials people may think I am not a good friend as they were there for me when my mother died

You gotta stop being hard on yourself. I don't know what really happened but secluding yourself from the outside world with the wrong motive isn't a great idea. You should do it to gain strength from within and not to get depressed.... More depressed

Such an insensitive statement......

@faridaije. loosing a parent is not easy, but life must continue.... God will give you the strength to continue..... stay positive, even if you must take a break, don't cut yourself off from everybody.

first and foremost, sorry for the loss of your mum.May her soul rest in peace.Alienating yourself from the social world will breed individualism,and if persist for long can manifest to suicidal thought,dementia and some other psychological trauma.You can decide to change circles of friends,but replace it with other new ones,that makes you more social being and well groom to absorb more shock ahead.

Insensitive or not. She just have to accept her mum is no more. Why keep away frm frnds for so long? What does she wanna think of her life to d extent of staying alone for so long?

please take it easy, dont be too hard on yourself, going to isolation wont solve any problem, it might only get things harder. this is when you need ple around you so that you wont feel lonely. It is well with you and your family.

Those that matter, don't mind and those who mind, don't matter.

Do whatever you need to do. It's not being selfish it's being self -full. We all need it sometimes. When you come out the other side they'll understand why you did and needed to do what you did. Everything will be fine and all is well with you cheesy

Re: Am I Being Selfish? Please Advise Me by thestevens: 7:56pm On Nov 20, 2017
Hard truth is that you can't change what happened, just got to pick up the pieces of your life and move on and pray that your find rest with God, above all look for a bible believing church and attend and try to study the Bible once or twice a day.

This is harsh. People deal with such things differently. Some cry, others act like it never happened, others laugh and play... ur message is clear but it could be said more nicely for such a delicate situation.

A loss is a loss and is always terribly painful. I haven't lost an immediate family member but I've lost some close ones from my extended family... it's not the same but I can only imagine how terrible it can get as it draws closer to home. Take care OP but isolation may not be the best answer. If u really want to, at least inform some close friends of year decision. They can always be of help
