Hi everyone! I'm new here.

I have been struggling for a very long time. Right now it's more than my Bipolar and PTSD. My friend has cancer. It's heartbreaking seeing him start to cry while I leave after visiting, and knowing he is afraid of dying. Every night I've been falling asleep on my yoga mat crying while listening to Taylor Swift's folklore album. (The yoga mat is good to fall asleep on because I feel grounded, which really helps my anxiety) I am trying my best to stay strong for him, but I am scared. A lot is going on right now and that is the reason I joined this group. Hopefully I can help others too. It is a good feeling to know that you are needed. Sending a hug to whoever needs it! ~ Sarah

I am just not ready to lose him.

[Roxylox in reply to Hidden]

Of course you are not. He is lucky to have your support. I know how hard it is sometimes communicating with someone seriously ill Have haf one experience of it.

[Hidden in reply to Roxylox]

I just hate watching him slowly die. I know we're all dying, but he has been through so much, and is so scared. I feel helpless. I don't know how I'll live on without him.

It could maybe make you value your own life even more.Do things you enjoy. Make the most of things.

[Hidden in reply to Roxylox]

Thank you. That is really great advice.

[Hidden]

Thank you for that. I am going to have to remember that.

[Hidden]

Thank you for sharing that with me. No one has ever said it that way to me. I am so sorry you lost your father at such a young age.
