Hi hi everyone,
I'm just curious what helps when you have uncomfortable emotions/feelings as a little.
**Note: I do not currently have a caregiver**
On January 31st I had to euthanize my dog. He's been my lifeline for almost as long as I've had him, especially the past 5 years or so when my depression and anxiety took it up a few notches. Since he's been gone I feel lost and kinda numb. I haven't slept more than 3hrs in a row since with the average being closer to 1.5 or 2hrs. I'm not eating like I should be and my anxiety goes through the roof whenever I have to work inside the store around the customers, like full on anxiety attacks that last for hours. I'm also having a hard time with my littlespace headspace, it's been very difficult for me to slip into my littlespace when I want to and on the flipside of that I have also been slipping at inconvenient times/places and struggle to slip back out of it.
My main method for dealing with these feelings/emotions since I found out my dog was sick in September has been avoidance and distraction(I've buried myself in books and fanfiction). However I don't really feel that it's actually helping me. I'm just physically and emotionally exhausted at this point.
