@first48fan Hey, I'm glad you reached out. The situation sounds incredibly stressful for multiple reasons and I hope he doesn't go to jail. What would be more helpful for you right now? If you find yourself needing to focus on the situations that are bothering you, examine your thoughts: make a list of all the worst things that you are worrying will happen and then try to respond to those worries in a balanced fashion (like you would talk to a friend). If you find the need to escape from the overwhelming feels, distract yourself by either writing about all the little good things still in your life (or in the lives of others or in the world or in outer space- trust me, there's still beauty and goodness out there to be found) OR do something to turn your brain off- wordle, scrabble, sudoku, some other dumb game that's slightly engaging, binge videos online, read some comics (easier to focus on than a book, especially if you are in a highly emotional state), do some crunches or pushups while blasting music, go sing in the shower (or cry in the shower- sometimes, you honestly have to cry and that's alright too). you said you were going to do something stupid- do yourself a favor and keep sharp things away from you. keep alcohol and drugs away from you (they aren't going to help, trust me). i'm glad you are alive and while in pain, you are still here for the fight- you know well enough to not treat yourself unkindly when you are already under so much stress.
