Hey cullenrussell20
A warm welcome and thanks for sharing your experiences with the community!
It sounds like you have been through a lot lately and experiencing some grief around family losses. It can be so hard to cope when we experience loss and so it's really great to see you reaching out for some support and ideas on how to cope in a more healthy way.
It takes courage to share your experiences with the community, and you are being really brave reaching out to your peers.
I'm sure that the community will have some insights to share with you soon! In the meantime, you might like to check out our Recovery Club - a space for sharing about mental health coping strategies.
Take care

Hi @cullenrussell20 good to see you reaching out for help and i hope you will find professional help. i know that it made a world of difference in my life when i did.
Hang in.
(A song i relate to a lot! For much of my life i said the same things to God, but later i found out it was not God but the devil ruling bad life down here i been protesting to. For that God in His love suffers all our bad life and makes good out of it when you join Him, instead of accuse Him of doing it wrong, doing it wrong yourself. See if you relate as well.)
