@Eden1919<br>I Get it.<br>Do you have anyone near you can go to if you need to?<br>Lifeline is awesome to talk to 131114<br>If you need to.<br>It's ok if you just need to crawl in to bed and sleep or eat like a 4L tub of ice cream while watching Rom com's on Netflix.
Be gentle with yourself and take time to just be.
