okay i went home to the Philippines a week ago since my dad passed away and i was able to spend time with my cousins and i finally met my sisters that i didnt know about and i got to know them and i was REALLY happy there. and when i had to go back to the states i really cried in the airplane and i wasnt happy when i got back here and also i didnt wanna go back school so i missed 4 days of school, and im in the room just sleeping there till 6pm and sleeping at 5-7am i really miss my cousins and my sisters and when i came back to school i wasnt really happy to see my friends and i really wanna go back there, cant sleep till 6am i think i became kind of anti social around my friends and what should i do to not to feel antisocial or depressed? is this normal?

This is totally normal. When I lost my dad, I felt the same way but lucky for me, I had great friends and relatives to help me get through the times. I am sure that your friends will want to hear from you and I think if you haven't told your friends what's been going on you should tell them.
It seems to me that you need a counselor of some sort. When my dad died, I resorted to becoming totally quiet and I started to cut myself. I really don't want to see anybody else making the WORST mistake I've made in my life. Life is really short, you need to live it to the fullest. Make mistakes, learn from them and never regret anything you have done.

Hun, I am sorry for your loss. Besides missing them, I think you are feeling the way you do because your cousins and sisters were there for you through what was probably the hardest thing you have ever had to deal with. Therefore, you have become emotionally attached to them in a way that you weren't before. You should definitely make sure you are having some sort of contact with them. Being anti-social towards your friends might be because you are afraid they won't be there for you like your family was. Maybe you think that once they find out what an ordeal you are goin through, they wouldn't know what to do and abandon you. Maybe you don't want them pitying you... The only way to get over something as hard as this, is to have people support you and by letting them support you. If they are your true friends, then they should be there for you like your family was. Try opening up to your friends. They can help you with your depression. I really hope I helped and I wish you the best. If you need anything else im here.

well maybe you should talk to your sisters and cousins so you won't miss them so much.
its sometimes normal to feel a little depressed or antisocial when you have to leave someone.
hope this helps.
