    I wish I knew just what to say. Please know that there are so many that care and are concerned for your well being. Did the crisis hotline refer you to resources in your area? Are you in a better state of mind?

    I don’t think anyone would expect you to be 100%. Are we ever? This is not an easy thing to go through. Please continue to reach out to the crisis line as needed.

    Try to focus on the basics of self care. Nutrition, hydration, and sleep.
    What do you like to do that brings you the most peace of mind and helps you center?
    Nature soothes and calms my mind. Walking helps me clear my head.

    @Dodds I'm glad you reached out to the crisis team and you're feeling slightly better now. Call them again if you need to.

    I can completely relate to this. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. Just over three years ago, my partner and I very nearly separated and this was a significant reason behind me wanting us to stay together.

    As time has gone on, I find things are actually easier when he's not around. For example, the morning getting ready for nursery routine is less stressful, which has helped me a bit.
