    My therapist recommended this site to me. It has been a very rough 6 months. I moved across the country from where I lived my whole life, my closest living relative is 1,000 miles away. I lost my uncle to a suicide at the end of October. I flew down for the funeral, and that very same night we ended up in the E.R. with my grandmother, who was like a third parent to me. She is not expected to make it to Christmas. I have tried my best to keep going and do my best given the circumstances, but its so hard. I moved by myself, so my entire support system is back home, including my friends, so I don't have the same coping strategies I used to. I am hoping that things will get better, but it's hard to see that when it seems like I am all alone and dealing with one bad thing after another. All I do is distract myself from the grief so I have the strength to keep going.
