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

@holdinghope5 @outlander @Shaz51 @Jacques - went for a drive and cried and screamed because I just wasn’t feeling myself. It helped

it is amazing what a good cry and a good scream can do to help us reset a bit @Fluttershy1 i cried for 4 days last week i had built up everything for so long i got the chance to just let it all go. glad you are feeling a little better, i hope you get a good nights rest.

It helped, but I’m building everything up, I isolate myself when I’m starting to struggle I won’t let anyone in, I lash out at people, I go into hiding. I mask how I feel. @Jacques

i do the exact same thing @Fluttershy1 but i hurt myself instead of lashing out at others. bottling things up is our greatest curse. do you have a psychologist or psychiatrist you could speak to about things. please think about calling life line, they are really great,

@Jacques - I have a psychologist I try and be open with them but they are still quite new, I struggle with trust, when I lash out I also harm myself aswell, I haven’t called lifeline in ages when I last called I didn’t have a good experience. I’m safe
