That's a lot of loss to carry — and it makes complete sense that you're feeling the weight of it all right now. Losing your girlfriend after two years, especially in such a painful way, can bring up old grief too. You're not overreacting. This is genuinely hard.

Here's what might help right now:
- Talk to someone you trust — a friend, family member, or anyone who makes you feel safe
- Consider therapy — a counselor can help you work through both the recent heartbreak and the older losses that may be resurfacing
- Be gentle with yourself — grief doesn't follow a schedule, and healing takes time
- Avoid isolating — loneliness can deepen depression significantly

If you're having any thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a crisis line immediately. You deserve support. A MyDepressionTeam member once shared that depression hit their relationships hardest, and that finding a therapist made a real difference — helping them learn to communicate and process feelings rather than bottle everything up.

You've carried a lot since childhood. Getting professional support isn't weakness — it's one of the strongest things you can do for yourself right now. 💙
