I hear that you're struggling to handle everything alone and to top it off you had a bad day yesterday. Would you like to tell me about your bad day? What are you struggling to handle?

@kris1979 Dealing with your emotions alone is difficult especially when they become overwhelming. Chatting on here is one way to help yourself, so you are doing well.

@kris1979 . Just okay is something.
How has today been so far for you? Have you been able to rest?
In response to: Re: Loss of partner

@kris1979 Yes, go visit with your friend and speak your mind. Someone will always be on here when you feel like chatting. It might take them a while to reply sometimes, but they always do.
