Two separate people who I'm close to have been "I'm fine, I'm fine" all through the pandemic and then suddenly this week, they weren't fine anymore.
This is just to say: it's ok if you aren't fine. You don't have to be fine all the time. Your body will tell you when you're not. This is a lot. All of this, it's too much sometimes. It's okay to break.
Sometimes the breaking happens slowly, so incremental that we don't notice it till one day it's like, huh, I haven't showered in weeks or eaten all day or left my bed since yesterday? And sometimes it's sudden. Boom. I'm not fine. I'm on the floor. And I don't know what to do.
I hope you have someone to talk to. But know that you can always call the National Suicide Hotline. You won't bother them. You're not a burden. And remember, if you don't click with the first person you get, you can hang up and call again, no worries. 800-273-8255 (U.S.)
