unexpected things

i feel rlly low atm. i just feel so mentally and physically drained. i finished work after a bad shift and then stopped off for petrol, but as i went into the petrol station i noticed this girl looked at LOT like the safeguarding officer from college when i first started in 2020 then we were in the same aisle, it was in fact her. we didn’t speak, she probably doesn’t even remember me tbh but now im sat in my car crying because i feel sad about it. i really miss her:( she was the first person i properly opened up to. the first person that made sure i was safe. the first person that took me seriously. the first person that always made time to listen to me. without her, idk if i’d be here right now. it’s just caught me really off guard i guess?

Similar when I'm in a situation at volunteer and all I want to do is speak to my previous supervisor not my current supervisor.
It's hard! I have no idea how you cope with this attachment felinsg but I guess I understand and in a way prib quote natural. With time you'll just find a way to move around it- painful I know!
It's completely understandable to feel how you do, and your reaction hasn't been silly at all!! There are lots of people in life where they can have a huge impact on you but they can only be temporary in our lives for different reasons, and losing those people's relationship and connection can feel super isolating and upsetting
You also mentioned that you had had a bad day of work, would you like to explore that a bit more with us here? Completely fine if not, but the space is here for you if you want to get any of that off your chest too
