How do you handle really devastating news, that may change your life for the worse?

When I was told my Nan had passed I shut down, even now 4 years later I’m still not really accepting of the news, I know she’s gone but I don’t want to accept it, I just feel like I died to but they forgot to bury me.

Sleep , and then take a very deep breath and deal with it like every thing else, it can be hard yes but you need to take it and you need to deal with it so you take the deep breath and you tell yourself you stronger than this shit and go for it

If nothing can be done, I take it all in, on the top of a roof with a bottle of wine in hand.

It would depend entirely on what it is but I would probably get to work figuring out how to get around it or if that’s not how that works, then to salvage the pieces the best I can.

[Sixgunsound]

Crying about it isn’t going to fix anything but waste a lot of time and energy.

[Sixgunsound]

Thanks for MHO

I react way too calmly… and go through the proper motions and take care of Buisness…


And then I have a private breakdown a week or so later

[Charliefretz329]

Life is a constant stream of change though. Its just a change in direction not a stopping point

Yes, I had gone through a really traumatic experience. I was doing okay until that night. I went to the bathroom and I started to feel myself passing out in the hall. I was having chest pains and thought I was having a heart attack. I called out to my wife because I thought I might be dying.

[Charliefretz329]

Anxiety mimics a heart attack and I think it can actually kill…

Heart break is real

[Charliefretz329]

I’ve “greyed out” a few times… basically left my mind

I am usually really calm and the worst the news is the calmer I seem to be. I try to be two moves ahead and just try and do the next thing.

[Sparkie460]

It depends on what the news is. I'll either be calm and just handle it or I fly off the handle and go in a rampage.

[Summeroflove]

Not much anymore. Seems to be just another day in the life of me

[call_me_scar]

I keep calm on the outside while planning things in my head as well as freak out a bit over the entire thing

[es20490446e]

That bad new isn't the only thing going on in my life.

[humanearth]

You keep fighting till you have nothing left

[loveslongnails]

You move forward, because there's not a thing you can do about the event. The only think you CAN control is yourself - how you respond, how you choose to act. You can let it beat you, or you can accept, assimilate and grow from it.

[Heolurt]

I would just accept it, my life honestly can't get much worse am already down so low as it is.

[Iron_Man]

You can’t handle it a part of you dies Along with the loved ones

[Zolly99999]

Sit down and think about it or talk to someone.

[TallAnon]

One thing at a time, don't think too far ahead, do what needs to be done

[dustybiker]

Keep swimming.

[Agape93]

I grieve if necessary, or I take action if I can

[NathanDavis]

I stay close to friends, and family

[collie22]

[Jennz6]

[Debbie14217]
