G'day josamen

Would you like to share more about what is going on.

Change can be really hard to cope with sometimes, it can feel like the world is crumbling around us and we are powerless to stop it and everything can feel out of control.
I hope you can manage to find some hope and positivity in all that's happening around you. I wish you well

Josasem

welcome to the forum. Sophie has some helpful suggestions for you.

As centaured wrote change can be very challenging.

I realise talking to others here can be hard but if you want to there is support and people willing to listen
