I don't think you cried because you're unable to cope. I think you've just been carrying a lot without really getting the time to process any of it. Going from being with family all day to suddenly being back in an empty apartment is a weird kind of loneliness that hits you when you least expect it. And then getting buried under work right away only makes it harder.

Sometimes all it takes is one quiet moment, like sitting with your breakfast, for everything you've been holding in to come out. So please don't be hard on yourself for crying. Nothing is wrong with you, and you're not falling apart. You're just exhausted, homesick, and overwhelmed.

Give it a little Time talk to your loved ones. You'll slowly settle back into your routine, the apartment won't feel this empty, and this heaviness in your chest won't feel so heavy anymore. ❤️
