Question: I'm seriously unhappy with everything in my life but I know I don't have any reason to feel this way
I can't even smile or fake one. I can't feel happiness about anything and I can't show love towards another person not even my girlfriend. I hate myself sometimes. All I see is ugly.
   I can't get over the loss of a loved one and I'm not close to my family. What can I do?

Answer (from Eileen Moran):

Answer (from Dr. Meredyth LawrynceServing Clients Nationwide):
Did
this begin around the time you suffered the loss of your loved one? You have my
deepest condolences.  Perhaps the grief
around that is what is the root of your being unhappy.

Answer (from Sherry Katz, LCSWCouples and Family Therapist, LCSW):
Trust and believe your own feelings.Emotions are real and reflect how someone feels about a situation.Since you're sad about losing a loved one, be patient w your feelings about this.  Basically, be guided by how you feel and eventually you will feel different emotions which I hope will be happier ones.
