See all 1 therapists Questions we share Shared questions and professional perspectives for everyone. How can I help a grieving sister who is angry with me? After helping with a brother-in-law’s funeral, a reader feels hurt by a grieving sister’s coldness and wonders whether they should have done more. They ask how to offer support without knowing what the sister needs. Is it normal to feel nothing when you have PTSD? After discovering a partner's death by suicide, a person reports emotional numbness and impulsive behavior that feel unlike their earlier self. They ask whether these changes may follow trauma and whether feelings can return. What’s wrong with me? A reader describes self-injury, eating-related difficulties, compulsive patterns, and dangerous impulsive behavior despite often feeling happy. They want to know whether these experiences indicate a mental health problem. A little closer to home. Explore places, activities, and support around Irvine, CA. William R.
