Hang in there! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You are NOT alone and life will not be like this forever. I’ve struggled with a lot of grief and depression and loneliness this year (I’m a US expat living abroad away from all family and friends, I feel you). Hang in there. Idk if you believe in God but I believe he is with us all in this hard time and that we will absolutely make it through together and stronger. I’m with you sis! Praying for you!

Hugs ❤️❤️❤️ you are not alone. I’m also grounded and far from family. It’s hard and I don’t have a solution. Sleep has become one of my most exciting weekend activities... We all have a long road ahead of us but things will eventually get better. DM if you want to chat.

You are not alone. I don’t have great advice as I’m not in the best place myself - but opening up to friends has been a saviour for me. Just people to moan with, drink wine with but also are really supportive and can help you get practical about what you can / can’t control and get you into a positive mood 🙌 interesting times as I think we all get to see who really cares and we should keep in our lives vs. who we can let go of

Girl - I know what you mean. I also lost my job in the middle of the pandemic. Pls DM me if you want to talk. Sometimes ranting just helps. But, you will be ok - you have made it so far! You got to be strong and get through this. Just know that there are people going through similar situations like you and we all will get through this :)

I really started getting into self help a couple of years ago and it’s saved me a lot! A couple of recommendations:
- “girl stop apologizing” by Rachel Hollis
- Jen sincero’s books
(Try them on audio if reading isn’t for you)
- Marie forleo’s podcast it’s book “everything g is figure-out-able”

I personally happened across the Tony Robbins Netflix special “I am not your guru” and it set me down this path. Helped me to feel like I was in control of my life and realize I control my emotions and what my brain says to me - life changing!

Try to be your own best friend my dear- only tell yourself things that your best friend would say to you - we can all be so critical and unkind to ourselves!
