I am new to this site and I can relate I found my younger brother after his suicicde and I have constant nite terrors and dreams about he and I as children even on sleeping meds. It feels like no peace day or nite. I try to look at it as though he is trying to reach me and remind me of the good times. I try at bedtime to think of only those times and my list of 3 things per day I need to accomplish as per my therapists advice. Best of luck

Three years is not long. I am sure you are doing as many positives things you have the energy to do
My thoughts and well wishes go to you. Grief is heart wrenching at times this form hopefully will help us .

Thank you so much for replying. I am and have been trying everything available to me. I feel like I am taking too long and everyone is looking at me like I am crazy. I can't get to the angry stage like I'm "supposed" to. I just feel loss and guilt/pity for my brother the old "a"type me is gone along with the energy to do and be the way I was. Just hope it comes back feel like I have lost so much including myself and the parents I knew. No one seems to understand how or why I feel this way. The worst is it comes in waves. My shrink says its PTSD and I have to learn new coping skills. Just tired of being sad and not being able to fix myself. Thanks again so much for your response. It's a very lonely place to be in and tiring to have to fake it everyday. Just want to feel normal again.
