Hey all,
I keep losing myself, I recently lost a family member to cancer and had the funeral and have been struggling for a few weeks while grieving and dealing with a few other things in my life,
I just don’t know how to help myself while im stuck in this loop. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate that I’m trying to manage and was just trying to find a space to where I can express it.
im safe

I remember making those with my sister, while our mum knitted jumpers...
It was always in the winter.
It's Easter Sunday now. As a kid this was the morning we'd wake up to find Easter eggs at the foot of our bed. And, miraculously, it would typically be a bright, sunny day, too!

Oh gosh, that's no good. 🫂
I'm glad you reached out to share.
Is there anything particular that's happened today to bring this on? @Fluttershy1

Woke up feeling like this @Kyle1,
I think it’s just this time of year I struggle with.
I’m playing on my iPad and watching tv

It's so horrible to wake up that way... @Fluttershy1
It happens to me regular of late.
And I imagine it's wet and cold where you are today? That doesn't help, does it...
What are you watching? I'm browsing the TV but it all looks like junk to me! 🤭
