I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

AmbassadorLizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends
this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?

Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

Hi everyone,
Depression doesn’t only affect your mood or thoughts, it can also deeply impact your relationships and social life.
😞 Fatigue, loss of motivation, or the need to withdraw can make even the simplest interactions feel overwhelming. Sometimes we isolate ourselves without meaning to. And when others don’t understand what we’re going through, it can create distance, frustration, or guilt, on both sides.
Whether it’s friends who stopped checking in, family who doesn’t quite get it, or colleagues who expect more than you can give… the social weight of depression is real.
💬 Has depression changed how you relate to others: friends, family, or coworkers?
🗨️ Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or judged by those around you?
📌 What helps you maintain some connection during the harder times?
You’re not alone if it feels like the social part of life has become more fragile. This space is here so we can talk about it, openly and without shame.
Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
