Close Bereavement

My best friend was just killed in a freak accident. I was the primary witness, called 911.

Treatments

Crying Working / Worked

At home, privately, and yes, it helps a lot.

Helping Others Working / Worked

I do this a lot in any case. It's just another form of "keeping busy" and can be exhausting.

Keeping Busy Working / Worked

Can't focus on work, having difficulty caring about the petty stuff involved in work, feeling stress and pressure to be "okay" in public.

Music Working / Worked

Helps

Pets Working / Worked

Accident involved our horses. I want to spend time with my horses, now, but . . . later

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

Had it in the past. It helps a lot. Called a therapist today, but it will be a while before I can get in -- and by then . . . I may be fine on my own.

Reading Working / Worked

Inspirational and new age spiritual books do help. But can't just keep reading the same things over and over. Need conversation.

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

Lots of emails saying they are thinking of me. But don't want to talk to them about it. Want to talk and don't want to talk.

Support Groups Working / Worked

Just joined this one. We shall see.

Talking Working / Worked

No one to talk to. Talked to my friends family a bit, but . . . guess I don't know how to do this. I do best when I'm alone, but want some good advice on dealing with feelings.

Time Working / Worked

I know this will work. But need conversation NOW.
