Mom died 6 months ago and we were so close. My griefs getting worse not better. Think I'm losing it at work. People are aggravating me by moaning about little things and bitching all the time. I'm short tempered too and one minute I'm happy and next minute I'm down. I just wanna stay at home where I feel safe but I cant afford to. Think I'll get my interest back or is this the time to do something that interests me?

You're still grieving, and will be for another long time. Six months ago is still very recent, and you've got to give yourself some time. People at work probably haven't felt the same intensity of loss and sadness you have, and they can only live their lives based on their own experiences.
You'll get though it, and things will be better, I promise. You could ask your GP about bereavement counselling - it could help, or talk to a close friend who's willing to lend an ear.
You have my sympathy.

Firstly, my sincere sympathies on your loss..it must be a very hard time for u.
My thinking would be take it easy but keep going..she would want u to..dont give up on life, as spending too much time alone will make u feel worse.
It may be a good idea to go to a qualified grief counsellor.
Its a very difficult thing and if u weren't sad that would be unusual.
I wish u the very best x

So sorry about your mum, Go and see your doctor have 2 weeks off work with stress. Then ask your doctor about( cruise).
Its for people who have lost their love ones and can talk to each other.Your mum is watching over you and she still loves you.
And of course you still love her, think about the good times you had together ,it will get easier i know when my dad died but it takes time remember you are never on your own with feeling like this.Go to her grave take some nice flowers and talk to your mom
the bond you had will never go away and then start enjoying your life again thinking always of your mom and she will always be with you.

You are naturally still grieving for your loss. Am deeply sorry for your loss. Please contact your gp to arrange some bereavement counselling. You are bound to find work stressful at the moment with feeling so low. I urge you to perhaps take a couple of weeks of sick to try and get some rest.
I think eventually you will get your interests and life back but it will take time hun .

sorry for your loss.
the same feelings came over me when my father died, just before Xmas.you need to talk to someone, and let it out. let someone close to you know how you are feeling. the Dr will help by getting you bereavement counselling. and try and look to the future, i know its hard, but its you you must think about.all the best.

my suggestion is that you go see a psychologist, but you probably will only need to see them for a short time. i suggest this because it sounds like you have depression. but your type of depression is more like a short term type, i forget what they call it, but you only got it because of the life changing event (mothers death) which means you probably will not have it the rest of your life, like the people with major or maniac depression. it will most likely benefit you to go talk to someone, especially outside your circle of family and friends because then you dont have to worry about someone finding out what you said and it get around, etc. hope this helps you out!!

You are suffering from depression, same as me. I have not been at work for 3 months now. Email me if you want to talk about it.

I feel so sorry about your mom... Cheer up!!
Well, anyway, talk to your girlfriends for a while. (they're probably the best shoulder-to-cry-on) If your depression gets worse (ex: you feel suicidal, etc.) see a psychologist.
I hope I helped! =]
