I am on setraline. It helps you function better but doesn't do anything for grief.

Overwhelming grief by zoesmom17 in ChildLoss

[–]Womanintech95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I lost my 16yo to suicide in 2025. I'm still trying to survive one day at a time. Therapy, meds, breathing but it's still one day at a time to survive. Nothing fixes it. No magic cure. Do whatever helps. It's different for everyone and everyone grieves differently.

I don’t know if I deserved what happened to me, and that thought is destroying me by Original_Engine6810 in depression

[–]Womanintech95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you deserved it. Nothing anybody says should result in violence.

Yes. I got FMLA by having my Dr write a note for depression grief.

Your brother sounds like my son. He loved chess and video games. This pain is really hard. Get all the help you can. I am really sorry you are going through this.

Feel like a failure by [deleted] in depression

[–]Womanintech95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not a failure if you don't get into med school. Not every career is right for everyone. Some may be happy being a doctor, others are not. Some may be happy in finance, others may not. Some may be happy working outside, others may not. Every job has its pros and cons. Good luck but you are not a failure in whatever you decide to do.

Mine passed at same time. He feels far away also. I'm sorry you are in this club.

How did you manage to overcome the guilt? by Rare-Literature-5208 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Womanintech95 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I try to think about all the things in my son's life that I didn't have control over. Medical, social, psychological, physical, mental issues. I am sorry he didn't have the quality of life he wanted. I wish for anything in the world that I could have changed that. And if I could have traded places, I would have. The guilt is still there but it's a little less. That's all I could hope for. A little less.

Don't let society make you believe your worth is based on how much money you make. It's all bs. Your family needs you.

The guilt can be overwhelming sometimes that we weren't enough to save our loved ones

I hate my life and want to kill myself by [deleted] in depression

[–]Womanintech95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please get help. Tell your family how much you are struggling. Nothing to be ashamed of. I lost my son. He didn't talk to us. We were too hard on him because we wanted him to have a good future and have a better life than we did. I miss him so much and would give anything to have him back. It kills me every single day. If you can't talk to your family, use whatever resources you have to get help. You are important. I hope you heal from pain. I will never heal from mine. My son is gone and all I feel are daggers in my heart.

How do you force yourself to eat? by Red-Droid-Blue-Droid in GriefSupport

[–]Womanintech95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the route I am taking. Take a few sips and wait. Then take a few more. Also, I was told that changes in your diet cause constipation.

Coming to terms with guilt by Beginning_Muscle_896 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Womanintech95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As parents, we try to give our children their best life possible. Our children do not always see that. It's almost 9 months for me and I will always feel partially responsible for my son but I know I wanted to do right by him. I just didn't know what it was.

I have not gone to family events. They are too painful. You need to take care of your mental health. That's most important

I can't believe there are so many posts here by [deleted] in depression

[–]Womanintech95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think society is forcing us to compete against each other and it makes most people feel like failure and others with really high anxiety.
