The following advice represents the opinions of the Counseling and Human Development Center and not necessarily the opinions of The Gamecock. QUESTION: I got a phone call from my parents last weekend [that a close friend of mine died. I hadn’t seen my friend since I moved here, but whenever we talked on the phone, it was as if he were still nearby. Why haven’t I cried? We were so close and I feel like I should be more upset than I am. What’s wrong with me? ANSWER: First, there is nothing wrong with you. Losing someone that we care about, whether it’s a family member, a friend or even a pet, can be very difficult. Everyone feels grief differently. Some people cry and want to be around friends and family. Some people feel a sense of numbness and prefer to be alone. The most important thing to remember is that | however you are feeling is OK. * There is no right or wrong way to grieve. If you are feeling numb now it may be that it has not hit you yet. Give yourself time to process what has happened. Consider honoring the memory of your loved one by planting a tree in his name or donating your time to his favorite charity. If several weeks go by and you find yourself feeling sad almost all of the time, you don’t feel like doing the things you used to like to do, you're having trouble concentrating or have noticed significant changes in your eating or sleeping habits, then you may want to go talk to a professional These could be signs of something more than just grief. QUESTION: I gained 10 pounds over the summer and am really concerned about getting too heavy. My boyfriend teases me about my extra fat, and it is really starting to bother me. I think part of my weight gain is my body maturing, and I am not sure if I need to go on a diet. However, his comments are beginning to hurt me. What should I do? ANSWER: You might be correct in your assumptions about your body maturing. Both men and women continue to experience changes in their bodies during young adulthood. It’s difficult to say whether your weight gain is of concern or not, but typically, 10 pounds is not a dramatic change. Consider meeting with a nutritionist or registered dietician, like the one in the campus health center’s Health and Wellness Program, to determine an appropriate weight range for your height and body type. Perhaps the most important issues, however, relate to your body image and your boyfriend's attitudes toward weight. Positive body image is not merely accepting your body for how it is, but being comfortable with your body type and having a healthy relationship with your body. What you look like is certainly an aspect of who you are. Having body image problems can make it harder for you to accept yourself. Your boyfriend needs to understand how his negative comments affect you and your feelings. Your negative feelings can have a detrimental enect on your self-acceptance and can ultimately contribute to unhealthy behaviors such as restrictive eating, overexercising, and other food and eating problems.
