I suggest therapy instead of asking random people on social media. This sounds way too important to leave to Lemmy comments.

While yes, there are barriers to access for a lot of people there. Support groups - exchanging insight with people who have been in similar situations - tend to be pretty effective, and Lemmy is just acting as an online front for that.

I'd take anonymous internet comments with a grain of salt, but with that healthy skepticism in mind there's plenty of potential for healing even in this environment.
