hard days

pawsy — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 07:07:57 GMT

feeling very low. i saw my gp this week which was good. she organised a mental health care plan for me so hopefully i can find a psychologist to talk to soon, but i have been sliding downhill pretty fast since seeing her. i've made soup and vacuumed the house and fed my pets but thats about it since wednesday. texted a friend. my parents both died in 2023 and we are selling their house. someone is looking at it -- a single mum who has two small children. this makes me happy but also very sad to think of little children being in the house where i was a little child too. the loss of everyone and everything is hard. harder than i thought it would be.

Hi Pawsy,

I am sorry you are feeling so low, grief can be so overwhelming at times and hit us when we least expect. It must be distressing selling your parents house, I hope you are taking a lot of time to decompress and look after yourself.

Hey Pawsy,

So happy you have reached out to a GP, hope you connect with a psychologist soon. Even if at first you may not feel like it’s a right fit, it’s just little stepping stones to open yourself up to more support 🙂

Grief is extremely hard - it’s something you can never prepare for.
My heart goes out to you. Sending virtual hugs xx
