It’s okay to feel sad.

 

I couldn’t get through a sentence sometimes. I would get overwhelmed by feeling so wholly sad. I didn’t listen to music because I was afraid it would trigger more sadness that my body couldn’t handle.

One thing that helped me during times like this was remembering that I could endure. I had been enduring. If I had to keep enduring, I knew I could. It took me a while to move from numbness to sadness, but what I remembered about the sadness overwhelming me was thinking “I’m feeling it. I’m feeling the worst of it. I’m already doing it”. You will get through this. If you need help, if it all feels to heavy, you are never alone.
