Is there anyone you trust irl to talk to?

I don’t want to read and run so am hopefully bumping this with someone better than me to come along.

Is it anything specific triggering you that we can help with or is it general stiff. 💐

Matt haig has words of wisdom on this. The world is better having you in it. Please don’t give up

That's no time at all OP, no wonder you're feeling it today. Was it sudden? Do you want to talk about him? Xx

He got sepsis fine, one day, dead the next.

@depthdespair so sorry for you loss and the timing of the ashes sucks.

Hope you were able to sleep last night and things look a bit brighter this morning. Is it worth chatting to your go to see if they can give you anything to help you through the next few weeks.

Billybagpuss · 21/06/2021 06:49

That should read GP not go, sorry

rainbowninja · 21/06/2021 07:44

Hope you were able to sleep @depthdespair it's obviously going to have been a huge shock in addition to the grief, have you considered counselling?

depthdespair · 17/07/2021 13:04

I can't go to counselling I can't talk bout it
I'm at home now and can barely leave my bed I can't sleep and I'm barely eating anything

It's ok @depthdespair you don't have to go to counselling until you are ready and if you even want to.

The not eating or sleeping bit won't be helping though, can you manage any food? Make sure you get some daylight to try and help get back into the sleep cycle?

I get that you feel awful right now, it's just about taking small steps.
