    Sending big hugs @Liam grief is a weird thing and it’s ok to feel however you’re feeling, I’m glad joking around is helping a bit though and we’re all here if you need to talk about anything <3

    Hugs liam! 🤗

    Grief is a weird thing and we all deal with it in different ways,
    If a cry isn't coming on could you take some time and listen to some sad songs or something?

    You just take it easy and do what you think is best, the correct answer will probably come to you soon enough x

    Hugs Liam ❤️ You're so incredibly strong and I know this is hard but you got this! It's completely normal to feel choked up after doing something that and it's tough when it brings back memories too. If you need a good cry, perhaps try watching a really sad film or listen to some sad music, I always think it's easy to let it out when I do those things 💛

    We scattered my Dad's ashes yesterday. I've felt really weird and choked up since parting from him like that. I've found turning to my friends to joke around is helping but this choked up feeling isn't going away. I miss him an awful lot and I feel like I need a good cry but no tears are coming out lol. Idk what I want, grief is so weird.

    Sending you so many hugs Liam :heart:

    Grief is a process, but we are all here for you :heart:

    I've actually had a very similar experience. My dad died when I was 9 and I remember feeling like I wanted to cry but I couldn't. It takes a while to actually process something like that cause it was only after my dad had been dead for a while that it felt real to me and it was easier to feel things about it.

    It isn't gonna be easy but after your brain has had some time to accept things it becomes a bit easier to cry and let things out

    Saw my gp about my wound and my breathing. Said my wound needs regular checking and will need the dressing changed again on Friday


    She checked my breathing and said it does seem like I’m not breathing in enough air when listening to my breathing

    Prescribed me with a peak flow thingy as they’re not allowed to do them at the clinic atm due to covid. Said I should keep track of it and I can’t remember how many times I need to. Hopefully it says it on the prescription

    I keep reading over the letters, it's like an obsession. The ones I wrote on my post. I'm doing everything I can to get over everything but I can't help but think about every single thing that could've potentially made my life better.

    Every version of my life goes over and over and over again in my head. I try to lose myself in watching TV shows but I end up losing the motivation to do anything else.

    I'm stuck in some sort of fantasy world and it hurts when I'm not there.

    Anxiety has Literally flared out of no where . Can’t breathe , shakey , can’t stop scratching my head and feel like I’m on the verge of death
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.
