I’m so overwhelmed, I feel like I’m having the breakdown of my life. My father is in Hospice care, he’s been battling ALS for the last 3 years. He lives in the US, I live in Europe. Originally I was supposed to go for a month on May 1st, but his recent Hospice start and finding out last night that my ex, whom I hadn’t been in contact with for the last 3 months and was really struggling with the breakup, is dating someone new, killed me. I have a therapist whom I saw yesterday and we had a session that pulled the rug out from under my feet, I had a complete breakdown over everything as soon as I got home. I saw my doctor today and she was able to give me an immediate leave of absence and some anti-depressants, I changed my flight to go be with my Dad in his final moments but I’m falling apart. I’ve been white knuckling through everything the last few months and I have no more strength left in me. I need some help, some kind words from strong women who’ve been through some tough shit in life and how you rose above it.

I’m so sorry you’re going through that! I would say just to feel all the emotions. Even when it hurts like crazy. It’s unfortunate but the only answer is time, which as cliche as it sounds, is true. Take your time to heal, while simultaneously doing things you love to do (reading, walking etc.). You’re stronger than you realize. Sending you strength and love 💜
