Re: Anxiety, Depression & Delayed Grief
I'm so sorry for your loss purplepie, and for both of you Buster and Lior. Also your very distressing news Lior.
I think grief often comes out when it's ready. It can also take the form of depression which happened with me in the late 90s/2000. Between 1995 and 2000 I lost a close aunt, mother, a brother and step-mother while becoming a father. I'm not sure how I stayed sane or if even I did but I'm still here.
Purplepie, the not wanting to go to places or be around people are classic symptoms of depression. I would hazard a guess it's associated with your bereavement. As Buster says, grief is unpredictable and follows different patterns from person to person. However, you will get through this, please believe that and I hope you can find some peace.
