I'm really at a point where I'm struggling. All of the bad things just keep piling on right now and my heart hurts from all of the things I'm feeling. I also am just feeling defeated that I'm not coping as well right now even with my meds and the different things I've been doing to care for my mental health. I was doing so much better for a while and then I had a bad day at work (I'm a nurse and I found out a patient I had cared for passed away - not from anything I did or missed or anything like that but it still hurts), my grandpa ended up in the hospital (he's back out now so I should feel better about it but he's still not fully healthy so I'm extremely worried), and my childhood cat just passed away today (she was 20 years old so I should have been more prepared). There's more but the other stuff seems insignificant compared to those things. I just don't know how else to get through this right now. I'm trying all of the things I know of and keep searching for more things to try but I'm so tired and it's hard to care enough to keep trying. I honestly just want to sleep until everything is better.

      @koalaechidna42 Yea that is hard when people can't understand or at least be empathetic. I definitely understand that you can make connections with people really quickly. And whether anyone understands completely or not your feelings are valid and no one should try to minimize them.

      Thank you. I know that I should reach out to more people around me but I feel like the people in my life that don't work in health care don't understand how hard it is to lose a patient. They think it's someone you don't really know that you just met in passing. I think thats where I'm really struggling. The two people I told just didn't quite grasp how hard of a loss it has been for me.

      I definitely understand. Life seems to be out to get everyone right now. I'm so sorry for the things you have been going through. No one can prepare you enough for death.. no matter the circumstance. It's just hard. Sometimes sleep is good. It helps us recoup but too much of a good thing isn't quite so good.. definitely try to reach out to your support system and the people you can trust to talk. I'm also around if you need someone to talk to. Just PM me. I pray things get better for you!
