I’m new to Reddit and I’m hoping this can be a place where I can get some honest advice from people who have gone through something similar. I’ve been struggling a lot lately and I don’t really know what to do, so I thought I’d reach out and see if anyone has any advice.

my father passed away about two months ago. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to enjoy life again. I’ve tried to distract myself and do things I normally enjoy but nothing really brings me happiness anymore. Since it happened at the beginning of summer, I’ve barely left the house. And I have no motivation for anything at all.

I feel sad all the time, and I’ve tried talking to my friends about it or just talking to them in general but I often feel like they don’t care about me which has made me feel really lonely. Ever since my dad passed away, I’ve also developed a lot of anxiety about being away from my mom. I constantly worry that something might happen to her and I get nervous whenever I’m not around her.

I guess I’m coming on here because I want to know if anyone else has gone through something similar and how you dealt with it. I’m open to any advice or suggestions that might help me start moving forward.

I don’t necessarily expect anyone to comfort me. I just really need some advice or motivation. I want to start living my life again normally, but right now I don’t know how.

I just need advice on how to deal with it and try to move on and live my life again.
