Hi Amber,

I empathise with how you are feeling.  I am sure you have confusion, hurt and sadness rolling around which will be very draining. Many of us have been there – you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you!

I guess the only advice I can give you is to breathe and recognise when unhelpful thoughts come to mind that lead you down rabbit holes of ‘why did this happen’ and ‘what if…’.  These questions and your thoughts around them will only lead to negative thinking about yourself and upset.

Be kind and compassionate to yourself and recognise that you are a good person.  Perhaps it would help to think of ways to connect with old and current friends or interests that will focus you mind away from the thoughts and feelings you are currently experiencing.  Stay strong – you’ll get through this.
