I'm scaring myself

I'm going through a breakup with my husband. He left out of the blue a month ago and it's been a really hard time. I've tried to accept it's over, but he hasn't been very clear and there have been glimmers of hope.

We met for a walk last night and although he was kind and sorry it felt clear from his words and actions that he doesn't want to try to make it work.

For context He doesn't love me anymore, it's been coming for a while and he regrets not saying anything sooner.

I feel so so low this morning that I am scared. I have thoughts that I can't deal with all this, that it's too much, that if would be easier to not be here, I don't have what it takes to make it to the other side. I am scaring myself so managed to go on an early walk with a friend and am going to help another friend with her work and then will have to begin my own work 11-3 but I am really worried about making a rash decision that I can't come back from.

I don't want to scare my friends, or cause a drama. Do I need to tell them I don't feel safe or just hang on and wait for it to pass?
