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

Heya @Fluttershy1 - hear you.
I've been in that space and I know how draining it can be.
Sounds odd, but I'm wondering if getting out in the fresh air for some exercise will help?

@tyme - I’ve been outside, gone for a walk,
it just feels like it’s never ending the mental health system is failing. I’m a mess today….

@Zoe7 - yeah I guess, I’m trying to get into the shower as I need to make myself feel clean

@Fluttershy1
Sorry you are feeling this way. Take it slowly and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Good on you for going for a walk, that’s great but I am sorry that you don’t feel any better from it. Do you have any coping strategies you could employ? A bit of music or meditation maybe?

I always feel much better after a shower @Fluttershy1 Maybe pamper yourself a little bit as well.
