Joli Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Every time I experience a really heartfelt moment, I always get really sad, like to the point of tears. I don't know why this always happens but it makes it so I can't enjoy certain moments. It might have something to do with the fact that in movies, often when the character experiences a heartfelt moment with someone, that someone dies later on. I always experience grief about people when there's no need for it. What should I do? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think those feelings come from? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I've always felt extra strongly about things, but I don't know why it is irrational like this. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hey, Can you tell me more about the grief you experience, maybe giving me a couple of examples of when you've felt it? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s feels like I’m mourning a loss like I am scared and feel like I will lose whatever person I am mourning over and it’s scary and so sad. One time I was having a really hard night and my dad came all the way downstairs to lay with me and help me feel better and when I apologized for making him come all the way down (and it was very late and night too) he said he would climb down a gazillion stairs for me and I started crying. Just things like that, but even when they make less sense, like my dad could just be singing me to sleep one day and I would burst out into tears and get the sickest sad feeling. Like that.

Hey there, Thank you for telling me more. I can completely get how scary and sad that feeling must be in the moment. I noticed what you said about how in films you watched, when there's a heartfelt moment, the person then dies at some point later on. Can I ask has something like this happened to you before?

Actually, now that I think about it, before I had a dog of my own, my cousins had a dog named Quinn. I was very attached to him because I love animals so much and have a human-like connection with most. I remember we had gone over once and when it was time to leave, I hugged Quinn goodbye and I just remember he was being very sweet and that time and I thought to myself, this might be the last time I see you, and spent and extra long time snuggling with him before I left. Maybe a week later my parents told me that he was put down. Edited March 13, 2022 by Joli MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who has a dog, it can be really tough to lose them, but especially with you having a human-like connection. How do you think that experience has impacted you?

Joli Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'm not sure, it definitely hit me hard but I don't know if or how it could be connected to these other things I am feeling. Do you think it could be the cause? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hey, Yeah, I think they could possibly be connected. Experiencing a loss when we are younger can be more difficult to process as our understanding of death and ability to deal with emotions are less well developed when we are younger. What do you think about that? I think that everyone reacts to loss in different ways, and it's a part of everyone's life, and it can be really helpful to have a think about where you're at in terms of dealing with a loss and what you think would help you to move forward.
