When I find myself in a dark place, I talk it over with my wife or daughter who are both very grounded and sensible. They can rationalize far better than I can when I feel overwhelmed, disappointed, helpless, etc. I hope nothing but the best for you.

Thanks Revenge Tour - I am very fortunate in that my adult son is a good support and when he’s got time (he works a lot) we can talk through everything- he’s very good at balancing me out. I try not to burden him too much however as I know how hard it is seeing your parents struggling to cope.
Other than that, many of my usual mutually supportive relationships are with people who are dealing with very difficult health issues right now and I’m cautious about burdening them because of this.
I’m trying to be a bit more self contained because of this although it really does help when I do talk things through with the right people.
