Hello & Welcome, Smh825. Thank you for joining and posting.
This is not just the "normal" turbulence in the wake of a break-up. In addition to the
relationship dimension, the crisis sits on top of years of depression and
anxiety.
Counseling (and pets!) can be great, but you may need more support at present. Have you considered talking to a doctor or
support line?
