You are experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD!. It's the same thing you often hear about for soldiers returning from Iraq!. I have been dealing with the same symptoms since returning from the Peace Corps!. The best advice I can give you is to just talk about it!. You would be surprised that the death of your father is probably not the only thing that you have withheld from those you love!. Before returning from the Peace Corp, I was always one that felt like I could deal with things on my own, but you can't!. You need to involve others in your life and work through your problems!. I hope this helped!. I know I am still struggling with it too, so feel free to write me anytime!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Find things you're passionate about!.!.!. I don't have any doubt that it seems nearly impossible in your current state!. But you have to try if you want to stop feeling like you're being an observer of your own life!. Expand your view on the world, try new things!. Music, art, nature!. Sometimes "simple" things can make you incredibly happy when you stop to appreciate them!.
Spend time with friends or family, take your mind off the negative aspects of your life and try to focus on the positive!.
If you absolutely feel like you can't go on, counseling!? Losing your Dad would be a pretty traumatic experience, I don't expect many people to be able to just "get over" that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm so sorry about your father, please make sure you don't isolate urself from ppl,just remember that there are ppl that care about you and that would be very upset if something happened to you, your father wants you to have a happy fufilling life, if you want to talk to me about it instant message me, sometimes its easier to talk to a stranger but its up to you I'm online now

Hey, My dad died when I was 25, I am 30 yrs old now!. I still miss him alot but I know my dad wouldnt want me to sit around feeling sad all the time!. Here is what I want you to try: get a piece and write down all the happy times you had with your dad and just remember them!. Also, live your life to the fullest and make yourself get out and be with other people!. I am sure your dad is watching over you and crying to god to help his daughter get her life back to normal!. Just always remember that your dad loves you and get out and LIVE YOUR LIFE!. I know you can do it!. my name is Jeremy and I believe in Angels, God, Jesus , Mary, and Heaven!.

u sound very young!. i was still 18 when my dad passed!. i still remember the day so vividly, like it happened just yesterday!. sweety, u are still mourning give urself that time!. i did love and hate my dad!.
i hated him for leaving me w / that witch of a stepmom!. she was so horrible afterwards and kicked me out right away!. took my dog who died of broken heart cuz she wouldnt take care of him anymore!. married as soon as she could!. poor shmuk!.
i felt like life was no longer real!. one night i spent the night at his grave and fell asleep there too!. i wanted him to come and take me with him!.
then, when i finally got used to the idea of him being dead i moved on with my life!. and hoped that i would be a better person than anybody gave me credit for!. i turned things around for myself, found love, made a new home, had a family!. life went on!. and going still!.!.!.!.
it may still be all new to u!. adjusting and learning how to deal without that rock that was there holding u up!.
trust me when i say that u will be that rock someday holding urself up!.
it may look all surreal to you now, but give sometime and thought, u will be back to ur happy self!. u will still miss him, but it will not be as painful as it is now!. it's ok hon!. it's ok!. u will be ok!.
another suggestion is that u get some help!. from a friend or family member, if need be a therapist, so u can talk and let it out as well as getting back on track!.
good luck to u and wish u the bestWww@Answer-Health@Com
