Have been really struggling with the big feelings of estrangement and grief lately.

I think it’s because it feels like my life is so all over the place - lost my job last year due to disability discrimination and not been working for a year (financially supporting myself through a settlement from my ex employer). Figuring out what my next steps in my career and getting a new job is so hard.

Also then having housing instability - have lived 4 places in 6 months because getting permanent housing when unemployed is impossible

Also having an inter personal conflict with someone through a volunteering organisation I’m working for at the moment. That’s been intense and dealing with a lot of it in isolation

Spent some time at my friends house recently where their mum was super kind and loving towards me. I’m grateful but also if this woman who’s known me less than a year can be nice to me why can’t my own mother.

I wish I could just call a parent and talk to them for advice how other people seem to. How they grew up with a constant foundation of love and support. I can’t even imagine how differently my life would have been. I feel so lost. I have wonderful and supportive friends but no one really who is estranged so even if I speak with them they never really fully understand or they just remind me how I’m the strongest person they know. I’m tired of being strong. I just wish I could be soft, all the time

Anyone have a link to Kae Tempest 2025 set??

How do you deal with the big feelings of grief?
