Is it normal that I have nightmares every time I go to sleep about my best friend commiting suicide right in front of me last year?

    Yes, this is normal. It was a very traumatic event, one that you may never get over. You're probably suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is common and treatable. I would advise you to tell someone about this so you can get help.

    One of my best friends committed suicide when I was 14. To be honest, I'm still not completely over it and I don't expect I ever will be but it does get easier. Hang in there.

    When I was 12 my uncle committed suicide. It was around five in the morning, my parents got a call and told me' they had to go check on him, while they were gone I dreamt that my uncle had cancer and was dying and the only way we could save him was to play a game of bingo. I later found out what had happened. When I was 5 I constantly dreamt of my dad and his two brothers being dead and buried mausoleum style protruding from our house.
