I'm very sorry for your losses. That can be such an upheaving change in life and so hard to adjust to!
It's good to hear that you've sought help and are on paxil - does it seem to take the edge off? Have you found other things that help you cope, like exercise or journaling or anything? Have you been practicing self care?
*hugs of support*

Yes, welcome!! You have been through hard losses in the past years. I am so sorry and understand. Dealing with deaths comes in waves and sometimes when you least expect it. Glad to hear you are seeking help and reaching out here. Have you been seeing a counselor? Having a professional who offers a safe place to cry, vent, and grieve, along with productive and wise guidance can make a difference. Christian counseling helped me deal with my "dark" times when going through my divorce. Praying to you today, misspatti!!
