It sounds like you’re going through an incredibly difficult time, and I want to acknowledge how much you’re carrying right now. Feeling trapped, sad, and disconnected from the people around you, especially after 1.5 years of marriage, must be exhausting. It’s understandable that with all of this, your eating and sleeping patterns have been affected, and I can see how it might feel overwhelming. The fact that you’re reaching out for help shows real strength, and I want you to know that I’m here to support you as we work through this together.
Next Steps
It’s really important that we begin to unpack these feelings step by step. You might find it helpful to consider talking to a therapist regularly, as it can provide a safe space for you to explore and process your emotions. I’d also encourage you to reach out to a doctor or psychiatrist who can help assess your physical and emotional well-being—this will be especially helpful in addressing the fluctuations in your mood, sleep, and eating patterns. Together, we can also work on ways to help you regain your confidence and start feeling more like yourself again.
Health Tips
It’s natural to want to protect your family from your struggles, but remember that sharing how you feel can bring you closer to them and give you the support you deserve. Be gentle with yourself as you work through these difficult emotions. Small steps, such as finding healthy coping mechanisms or establishing a routine, can make a big difference over time. Smoking is often a way people cope with stress, but we can explore alternatives that will make you feel more in control. Rebuilding your confidence and sense of freedom will take time, but I’m here to help you every step of the way.
