Cannot Sleep At Night, Torn On Inside. What Could Be The Reason ?
I am looking for a doctor in my area I was seeing a Therapist but I stopped because I felt as though it was not helping but I see now that I really do need help my mother passed away 12/08/2012 an then my eldest son was murdered on 04/13/2013 I am not doing well I am not dealing with my family or others. I smile on the outside but I am torn on the inside I have my grand children for the summer but they will be leaving to return home this weekend an Im afraid of being alone. I can't sleep at night an just lay around all day, I have family that love me an cares but I just shut them out I find reasons not to talk to them Its like I just want to stay in my own bubble

Dear User,
Loosing loved ones is very traumatic event and shatters us from within. but the symptoms you are facing even after 4 months of your sons death points towards depressive disorder. You need to visit a Psychiatrist and get yourself a prescription of antidepressant and anxiolytic medication. Only counselling will not help but counseling and medications together will give best results, also start exercise and mediation .put your mind in hobbies and try to overcome your loss by mixing with other family members.
All the best
