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

Good on you for doing what you have been doing already. @Fluttershy1
I read it is very hard at the moment, but you are staying strong.
Would giving your pets a hug or talking to them be helpful? Or even playing a video game? From my memory, you like all these things.

Hi @Fluttershy1
Sorry to hear you're having a rough day. I'm happy to respond to you when I can, we're just really busy afterhours, as we have a lot of different things to manage.
Have you ever used any afterhours support phone lines? Lifeline, Beyondblue, etc. They can be a bit hit and miss, depending on your counsellor, but it is a good place to connect with someone when you need it most.

@Fluttershy1 That's a big question... there are so many good shows. One of life's great pleasures is finding a new series to binge.
For drama, some of my favs are Band of Brothers, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Vikings, Barry, Peaky Blinders.
For comedy... I don't think I've seen a really good comedy series in a while. Most of them would be British, like Ricky Gervais stuff. Brooklyn 99 is an easy, fun watch. 30 rock is a classic too.
