7. Hang in there. Love yourself and who you are. A good time for introspection but don't let it lead

to dark thoughts during these isolating times . Your mom needs you alive and don’t need that . Maybe contact her if possible to reinforce that . Yes guilt pain questions confusion is what I have heard from those who have lost a loved one that way . Hold on as this war will pass
plus as someone I know who had those thoughts but did not act said when I asked what stopped them they said at the last minute they decided to stick around and see what happened next instead . I was surprised a simple thought like that would have changed them half way into death . But sometimes overthinking is not the key imo
Stick around
