How many of you have had an experience with grieving for a lost love whom you needed but who had to leave you due to unfortunate circumstances specifically just after a loved one of yours had passed away and this person was supporting you all through to cope with the loss and grief of the passing away of your loved one but eventually was forced to leave you due to circumstances ? How had you been emotionally able to deal with such a scenario when you had already become an emotional wreck ?

I'm at the stage that I feel it's pointless making doctors appointments as it's never going to make me better and is a waste of time. This illness has been going on so long and my doctors had a really awkward system of making appointments which makes it worse. I hate talking on the phone which also doesn't help.

How do you do it? I just don't care about myself. I know how to care for myself. I'm asking how to care ABOUT myself.

is this prescribed in the UK?

For me, from time to time I do. I'll ask myself what's wrong with me, am I CRAZY 😧😧, why am I still here 💔, am I Beautiful 😍, Smart 🤓, do I Love 😘 ❤️ myself or am I Loved by someone (somebody), am I or will I be excepted or etc. I look back @ now @ realize I have a Purpose to Live, a Purpose to be an Example in someone's Life (somebody's) I have a Purpose to Love myself & not to Think 💭🤔 about what nobody thinks or says about me, cause God comes front & then I come after, Thanks for listening 👂🏼

Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?
