When I was 16 I suddenly lost my mother

When I was 16 my mother passed away, she had a brain aneurysm, my brother and I were living with her and so we had to move in with my grandparents, whom I love but are very disconnected from me as they don't understand; depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders or much about young grief for that matter. They could never fully comprehend why I have attempted suicide 5 times since it happened a year ago, they can't understand why my brother almost became an alcoholic and started doing drugs. I have harmed myself in more ways than one since she has died. I feel alone and constantly numb. My boyfriend, is my shinning hero who carries the sun on his shoulders just to see me smile, I adore him and love him more than anything; but even he can't comprehend why sometimes I can just completely shut down, why I can go from one second of being insanely happy and in love to me pushing him away. I feel like it is because everyone else has left me, my dad lives in a different country with his new wife he has moved on. The rest of my family has moved far away, my brother moved as far away as he possibly could. So I guess i am fighting a never ending battle. Most days the depression gets me so bad that I just want to end it right then and there, the pain causing me to not be able to breathe, or move or even get out of bed on a morning. The inability to see the bright side of life kills me because all i want is my mum back. It is the anniversary of her death next week and I don't know if I am going to survive it. I am scared. Thank you for letting me share.

I am so sorry about the way that you feel! I lost my mom almost 6 yrs ago,and my dad will be 30 years

I wish that I could tell you that it gets easier but it does not. You need to get help from a therapist, and a psychologist. They can help with this
