Can't stop crying

I was going to name change but can't be arsed.

I lost my brother last year, and had a ruptured ectopic this September. I have been holding my shit together but have been secretly crying several times a day for weeks. I had too much to drink last night and very little sleep, so I know that's part of it, but today I can't keep my shit together at all. I have been crying all morning and can't stop.

I am staying at some friends house, and they are entertaining my poor dd, who deserves a better mother than me.

Someone knock some sense in to me.

You have been through a lot, Don' t be hard on yourself.

My advice is cut down on drink as it won't help and make a GP appointment. Get as much sleep as you can and look after yourself. Things will get better.

Its no wonder you’re feeling wobbly. You’re grieving two times over. And grief needs to come out one way or another.
The drink won’t help. If my MH isn’t good and I have a lot to drink, it sends me over the edge into severe anxiety or teariness.
The best thing for today is to cry your heart out, with a friend if someone can support you, then be kind to yourself. Takeaway for tea or something simple.
Longer term, might you benefit from bereavement counselling?

I know drink doesn't help. I had cut right down but went a bit overboard last night. I am doing dry January from now

I've had 2 x 6 sessions of counselling through work, but it ended just before I List the baby.

Can you sort More counselling through your gp?

You know, some times crying is OK, and a good method for handling stress (stress hormones are obviously shedded through the tears).
