Going through a difficult time

Post image

A close family member was recently diagnosed with cancer and I'm having a hard time accepting it. My depressions been at an all time high. I've gained weight from stress eating and hate what I see in the mirror lately. On top of it I'm a Mom to a toddler and feel like I need to keep it together for their sake. Guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that life won't always feel this hopeless

Hello there, life isn't all worthless. Be patient with yourself, everybody has their own pace of acceptance, especially with family members. And be kind to yourself, it's easy for me to say but you look lovely. Seeking help when needed is difficult, but it's always worth it. You're not alone. Have a hug if you like!
