hI @otroo - oh no, you have been so through much. It must be difficult just getting out of bed in the morning.

When I lost someone near and dear to me, what I found helped is to start building a routine. I started with 5 minute Tai Chi on youtube and then doing the dishes after meals. Sometimes I put on some music or a favorite program and listen to it while I do the dishes.

I felt like I was having to start all over again. So no one was going to do it for me, so I started recreating a life for myself based on the new reality I faced. I tried to focus on what I was grateful for from the relationship I once had and pack that in my suitcase so to speak. I seemed to leave out some of the sad feelings the further I got into this recreation process. It has taken me years but I keep seeing incremental change day by day.

I started doing creative things, I started volunteering online, I started things I never thought I was capable of doing. I had nothing to lose by trying.

Hope you get the support you are looking for.
