Dear God please give me the strength
Wanted to share smth I found recently. I felt like it was pretty darn accurate. I’ll provide the link here but there’s a screenshot I took that I feel I can relate to quite heavily. https://pairedlife.com/love/infatuations
I’ve struggled with so many heavy infatuations before and a friend recommended this. Hope it helps anyone else out there who’s gone through this or may be going through this right now.

Not exactly in your situation.. though I am switching jobs and starting the new contract early May, which is stressful bc you never know with this pandemic if they will rescind the offer...
But the most encouraging thing Ive heard so far was from my mother of all people... For context, she is an Soviet/Russian immigrant who left Leningrad in 1980... believe me when I say that the Russians are NOT the most optimistic and hopeful people out there... usually if I tell her Im worried about something she will say - "yeah that worst case scenario is completely possible, I dont know what to tell you." Both my sisters have already lost their jobs due to Covid, and my mother is a teacher so she is at the very least indefinitely off work. But when I called her to tell her about my anxiety about the job losses etc.. she actually said "STOP WORRYING. This WILL get better. Whatever happens right now, things will improve, and there is nothing you can do in this moment except keep trying your best and not panicking over it."
Sorry if thats not super helpful - I realize North Americans are pretty used to open encouragment and optimism - but for me at least, it was helpful.
I know what you mean - I often try not to tell my parents stressful stuff so they dont worry about me as well. But you got this! Just focus on 1 day at a time, and something good will eventually come your way! There is always an up after a down. ❤
Thank you! One day at a time for real
