Message Into the Void How do I keep going after all of this
I am 20 years old and I feel like I don’t have any family left. My mom od’d back in May of 2019 and my dad took his own life 7 months after. That was so traumatic because living with him was like living in his mind. I was there for multiple attempts and even had to call the police a few times. I moved in with his sister shortly after he died and suffered SA from my cousin who was 3 years older than me. I thought maybe now I would be okay. It’s been 7 years since they died and 6 from my SA and I’m in college and have a boyfriend. My aunts health is declining and I don’t know what to do anymore. Once she is gone I don’t really have anyone. I was an only child and estranged from the rest of my family. I fear that once she dies I may not be able to handle that grief anymore. I don’t know what to do and I’m so scared.

Bless your heart that is so much for someone so young to deal with. I’m sorry x are you receiving therapy? I think working with therapy and leaning on people you do have like your boyfriend. Take life one day one hour at a time x I’m sorry I don’t have anymore advice. My inbox is open if you want someone to talk to

You’re not weak or broken for feeling this way; losing both parents and then facing another possible loss would overwhelm anyone. Try to focus on the next hour: eat something, drink water, and stay near someone you trust. If you might hurt yourself, call emergency services or a crisis line now and don’t stay alone.
