Sometimes i feel as though it would be way easier to just not feel anything. Right now i feel as though i have lost all the people that once meant so much to me ... a person whom i considered to be equivalent to my mother .. well i haven't talked to her since i got to school .. i miss her so much my heart breaks just thinking about her. Why can't i just let go and move on with my life? Why am i stuck in this one spot where there is so much going on around me, but none of it is important. Why can't i feel loved for more than an instant? ... Why can't I even cry......... or sleep .... just numbness.

There's nothing wrong with being emtionally attached to people...just because you are at school...doesn't mean you have to break completely away from those you love....Sounds to me like you are a little homesick...Why don't you write the woman who is like a mom to you and tell her how much you miss her...you will feel so much better to get it off your chest and she will be happy to know how much you care...and then crack the books...!! There is always room for love in our lives...

emotionally attached?
Hi Jacq,
May I ask why you haven't talked to her since you got to school? Did you move far away? Do ya'll have a phone?
Is this your first move away from loved ones?
I like to make home-made cards for my family and friends....nothing elaborate...just a plain ole' piece of typing paper, folded and colored with crayola's...and decorate it however I want to. I add a little note to let them know I am thinking of them, and keeping them in my thoughts and prayers...just a small act of thougtfulness will add a smile to those who get mail...and also, we get the added benefit of using our creative talents. It helps me to give to others when I am feeling down... just smile at a stranger, maybe.... smiles are contagious... pass one on.

Oh yes... try to enjoy school. What are you studying?
Keep in touch, k?

By the way, this is my first post at PC...glad to meet you.

Hi Jacq I reckon we detach to protect ourselves from feeling pain. In that respect, given what's been going on, I think what you're feeling is normal. But it's not pleasant, is it, because you don't feel any happiness either.
I know you've been having a pretty miserable time of it lately, but it will pass.
(((hugs)))
edited to complete the post which I had submitted after only writing "hello jac" lol

(((bethsway))) (((mylife4him)))) (((heartspace))) - thanks for listening and sharing.

The reason I am so upset about not talking to her is because i haven't heard from her. I understand she is a very busy woman, but i've emailed her 3 times in the past month and haven't heard back from her. All summer i had been talking to her on the phone, through email, and she was the one there for me when i had my surgery ... but even since school started things have been different.

Mylife4him- welcome to pc emotionally attached? ... and yes i did move far away for school - but this "mother" figure of mine use to be my housemaster at my highschool i went to (boarding school) and so she is in the same province as me (as oppose to my actual family who lives in Nova Scotia) - I like the idea of sending cards though, thanks
