I am having the worst year of my life. My Ds has been in hospital for two months among other things. I am generally a happy and fun person but I have been very sad due to a number of sad events in my family. I am part of a WhatsApp group of old friends who don't live close by where we chat every day but I'm finding it hard to contribute at all and I'm also finding all their happy Christmas photos difficult , I love that they're doing nice things but it's hard for me to see and I cry every day anyway. Shall I politely remove myself/ follow along and not post/ archive. Can't really archive because that would be rude.
I am not the only one of us having struggles, another is going through a divorce.
I don't want them not to share all their things because of me and they are good friends, how do I manage this?
