Dear Caroline:
I’m really glad to hear from you, and I’m so sorry you’re carrying so much right now. Losing your cat, finding out your partner mocked you, feeling disrespected by her family, being told you’re “the problem” at work, and dealing with health issues on top of all that… anyone would feel shaken by so many hurts at once.
It sounds exhausting and painful, and none of this is small.
You mentioned not being able to move your hands at night — did any doctor give you a sense of what might be causing that? It’s important that you’re looked after medically, especially when symptoms affect your ability to move.
And if you were to take a leave from work, even briefly, how do you imagine that might feel for you?
I’m here, and I’m really glad you reached out.
🌿🤍 Anita
