It's good to see you again, Nina. As for your questions, I feel up after watching your videos because I know you're still holding on. I agree with you, by the way. You can't just move on from grief at the snap of your fingers. There's no set time period for grief either, and the stages are different for everyone. I'm sorry to hear your coworkers can't understand that. One of the hardest things about living with major depression or anxiety is that lack of understanding. People will always say, "just get over it, be stronger, don't think about it, etc," as if one could just will away mental illness. But that's why I'm glad you make videos, because when you do the people who have that empathy will be there for you. And I'm here now telling you it's okay to be how you are. You are not a bother, a downer, or whatever. If it helps you at all making videos and talking about it then I hope you make one day 🙂 Loving that cozy space of yours, by the way. It looks like it could be a place of healing for you, which the other one definitely wasn't. My very best wishes to you, sweet Nina 🙂
