I dont know why, every since i started work, was feeling so off today, felt so down and tired and angry too. i felt like i was being attacked, and like i had an infection of bad thoughts and feelings. It was hard today, even had thoughts of hurting myself. I also had some aggressive thoughts. Anyone had an experience like this with grief? It really scared me to feel like a completely different person, like something took over me. Now it is finally gone after lots of crying and lying down.

" are you starting back to work after losing someone? i changed a lot after the loss of my fiance and whenever i heard people bickering over stupid, nonsensical stuff, i would get very angry and want to scream "just be grateful they are alive and stop the nonsense". of course, i couldn't say that and it is very frustrating and tiring. its good that you recognized something is 'off' and are talking about it.

" These feelings are what I have been experiencing since the death of Brad.They are completely normal and dont let anyone tell you different.If you are going back to work after losing someone like the previous person said...people will see this...I am going to give my presentation of the 7th and I am going to be nervous.Brad left me almost penniless and i am just so grateful that I had my vacation money that I saved.My aunt sent me a book mark,a card and extra money yesterday and the clothes that she gave me did not fit so I had to get new clothes.Went to value village.Theyhave super clothes..but like i said...these feelings are normal and they will take time.Vader...

" Oh, what I meant was that I was just feeling like this at work today, but I have been working for awhile.
Thank you for the responses and support. I too get annoyed when people complain over silly things too. going through grief just changes you, and you start to look at things differently.

yes it is hard to go to school after losses. i lost a couple of close friends, and found it very hard to concentrate in school. it has been 2 years since they both passed, and I still have difficulty concentrating and with memory. i also have mood swings too. "

" going back to work after the loss of a loved one is never easy. i work as a csr and it was really hard every time a different customer called in for the first time and said i am so sorry for your loss. it just kept the wound open, but once that faded and work being extremely busy it was easy to get into the routine. i cried both to and from work and there are still days after nearly 3 years that i still sing Jesus loves me while driving by myself. {{{{{hugs}}}}} jan "
