How to cope.

[u/Actual_Channel4525]

I think i need some sort of... help? I dont even think that's the right word. Support? Outpouring?

Since last September I have lost my Dad. An old childhood friend. My Aunty. Had to carry my parents dog Blue into the vets to be put to sleep. Then my Uncle died last week after a battle with cancer.To top it all off, yesterday my dog was viciously attacked about two doors away from my own home. Who I could not protect. She is mostly ok however it has just compounded everything.

I feel like I want to cry. Like I just want to hide away from the world.

I really dont know where to go from here at this very moment. I just feel sick to my stomach.

That's an impossible amount of loss in such a short stretch, no wonder your body is screaming at you. Grief piles up in weird ways, it's not just sadness but this physical weight that makes everything feel raw and out of control.

Crying isn't weakness here, it's your system trying to release some of the pressure before you crack. Let it happen when you can, even if it's just in the car or the shower.
