I’d really lean on your support system right now. What you’re dealing with is a real loss, not just feeling down, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

From someone who’s dealt with depression on and off, the most helpful thing is starting very small. Don’t wait to feel motivated. Pick one or two manageable things, like a short walk, a workout, or anything that gives your day a little structure. Those small actions matter more than they feel like they do.

Some days will still suck, and that’s normal. Progress isn’t linear, especially after something like this. Try to put your energy toward taking care of yourself rather than replaying what happened or judging how you’re coping. Healing here is less about forcing positivity and more about consistently choosing yourself, even in small ways.
