Hello Sweater1940,

I'm so sorry to hear about how you're feeling, but please know that you're not alone and it's important to talk about your emotions with the people you trust even though they may not have asked how you're doing. Perhaps they're not sure what to say so talking may help them understand your perspective. My colleague Steph mentioned Cruse to you in a previous post, and I recommend them if you wanted to talk to someone outside of your friends and family. Their helpline is 0808 808 1677.

Best wishes to you,

Moderator Anastasia
