Hey Iβm sorry for the mental breakdown. Iβm probably going to delete all of that soon.
I am just really not doing well and not catching a break.
No one's expecting you to do well. Looking in, everything about your current state of mind seems normal. You've been hit with a bunch of major negative life impacts and are experiencing the trauma of that.
so many hugs
you are allowed to be human ππππ«π«π«
We are here for you <3
Donβt be sorry. You are going through a really tough time. Itβs ok to let sadness happen. (And all the other emotions too, grief is complicated) Itβs ok to eat a stack of chocolate or whatever suits your diet that will ease to pain. The only thing that heals grief is time. You did the absolute best for her. It was just her time, and you cared for her so well.
I'm rooting for you, buddy!
