TW mental health

Today has been absolutely brutal. I had a hyperventilating breakdown in my GP’s office because I just can’t take it anymore.

I’ve made it through decades of things that would have broken another person and handled all the human deaths. But I’m continuing to go through hard shit while in severe chronic pain on the daily. Right after the death of my deeply bonded pet that was keeping me going.

I’m seeking mental health help. But fuck me it is hard to just keep on endlessly living like this.
