disturbed thoughts

hey, just want to forget about some stuff and not think disturbing thoughts about death. six months ago a friend of a friend's was murdered and i thought i had stopped thinking about that, but now thoughts are coming back as last week someone from my hall -only knew by sight though, although used to notice him around- killed themselves. it just makes me feel angry and upset and how he must have been thinking/feeling and the ways that you could choose to kill yourself - and it's freaking me out.

I would recommend that you speak with a counsellor or someone similar. It's not good to bury all the weird feelings without confronting them; if you speak to someone they will try to help you make sense of what happened so that you can emotionally recover from both incidents.

yeap. talk to someone about them. someone professional preferably.

Professionals can be useful to talk to but when its something they havent been through its going to be hard for them to understand. Death effects almost everyone profoundly but murder is a significantly worse event. Talking through things can help but to survive everything you need to accept the fact that it is a part of life unfortunately. A close friend or relative is usually the best choice of someone to confide in... don't bottle everything up, it really does noone any good.

Talking can help, but then it can be a difficult subject to breach. Maybe asking someone else what they think about this suicide will give you a chance to vent your feelings about it. Women are more often better listeners than men, but not always of course.
A professional might be a very good idea if you have the feeling these thoughts are getting too much.

The worst thing you could do is to try to forget this. It is imperative that you talk about your feelings and get this out of your system. Good luck!

Hi there,

My best friend was murdered 16 months ago and I know that it sounds like a cliche, but time does make things easier. Don't get me wrong, it still hurts everyday when I don't get a call or text from her, but I have learned to get on with my life (if for no other reason than to make her proud).

Also, I found that when I came across other people suffering (like the person you referred to) it hit me a whole lot harder.

All I can say is that it's only been 6 months and you have to give yourself time to heal, you are still grieving and that is ok. It might help to speak to someone (although I never did) who is totally neutral about the situation, like a counsellor.

I really do hope things get easier for you, I promise it DOES get better.

All the best
