Question
My boyfriend at the time (we hadnt broken up) had committed suicide and its pretty recent 2 months has past. Is it normel to feel that everyone is against you and judging you?
Answer
The suicide of someone close to you is always traumatic and I strongly encourage you to talk with a licensed counselor or at least a trusted adult about your reactions to his sudden death. It has been only 2 months and you may be having different feelings than you did at first which is normal. Coping with this death in a healthy way will be important for your future relationships. I assume you mean it is you feeling everyone is against you and judging you. It doesn't mean you're abnormal, but rather indicates that you need to talk through your feelings about what happened with your boyfriend.
