I don’t know where to start I am struggling a lot but idk why everything is a lot right now I was already feeling pretty depressed and then now my grandma is really sick and in hospital and I have to go visit her tomorrow which is going to be really hard for many reasons and idk I am just having a really hard time but I feel like I have to just keep pretending everything is fine and just ugh I want to cry but I can’t.

hi @Eden1919 sending hugs and hopefully both your grandma and you are okay x
my advice (if u want it) would be to have a massive cry out into ur pillow or a teddy or even someone’s shoulder. then once you’ve cried it out i say to drink some water then reward yourself.
for example i know if i’ve had a rough day and i’m out & have $6 to spare i’ll buy a pack of pokemon cards just bc i like to collect them but if i don’t have money i’ll come home and make the nicest peanut butter, banana & honey toast. it’s all down to preference but u definitely deserve to reward yourself and to acknowledge how far you’ve come in this hard time and all the hard times before. you should be proud of yourself 🙂

Push through the things against your head and be here.
And here is with.
It's what everything is, here and with.
Mine the subconsuss crap that you shape out of the things against your head. They are the shadow.
*hug*
Everyone is going through it.
It's okay. Here is With.
Go through this crap.

So glad it went well for your grandma @Eden1919 . I was close to my grandma too.
Take it easy, anxiety can be really unsettling. Finding something to do can help. I'm just going to put on some shoes and go for a walk - the rhythmic exercise grounds me.
