I lost my cousin, then 4 months later my dad then 5 month later my sister, my cat died two days before my dad.

I was doing ok since this happened in 2013.

But about a month ago my daughter friend was murdered by her girlfriend, it was on the local news and my daughter was upset and there was public memorials. I just couldnt go. Then this week I found out that someone I was close to online who I actually even met in person and had a relationship with for a year has cancer 2-3 months to live.

Today I got a low grade on a 15 page paper I write for school and had a meltdown in front of my professor who acted baffled and condescended me.

Then I went home and binged on food and felt sick, cried alot.

After that I came here.

That's a terrible amount of loss! I'm so sorry it happened like that. You are free here to say anything you feel. It's a very safe place to bring yourself. I hope you'll find everything you are looking for.
Thanks for this!

I'm sorry for all your losses. Maybe grief counseling would help you. Or, just to write out your feelings here. Sharing with others helps a little .
Thanks for this!

Thanks, surprisingly I have done pretty good up until this week.

Yesterday when my Professor gave me a low grade for a paper I worked so hard in, I lost it. I had a meltdown in front of him and cried and he was really rude to me about it.

I couldnt stop crying and I left and cried in my car driving home. When I got home I started bingeing on food.

Afterward I felt sick and then hated myself for it.

I know it means I am not doing good.

After my best friend died a long time ago, I started missing tons of work and all my savings had to go to paying taxes (like $10,000!). Sometimes you just have to give yourself time to grieve even if you do things that aren't in your plans. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
Thanks for this!

Thanks I am feeling really supported by the feedback in these posts.

It's almost like waking up and realizing that my feelings are more important than my grades.

It's ok to be human, I don't have to always strive to be perfect, sometimes life events happen and it takes longer to get back up, as long as I keep trying and don't give up.

But also it's ok to take time off to deal with my grief and in that process I might have to let go of other things and that's ok.

This is what I am getting from the replies here and it really truly helped me, I feel much better in realizing that, thank you all very much for responding to me.
