It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you react to it. Sounds like you’re kinda stuck in the wallowing stage.
Look at it this way… all that happened and you survived. You’ll be stronger and better for it.

I’m very sorry to hear about this. I am a counselor and I know it’s annoying to hear everyone say “You need to go talk to someone” but seriously when you feel ready seeing a therapist and/or talking with your friends about things will be very beneficial and is nothing to be ashamed of. Of course a person can never truly move on from experiencing pain and loss, but just being able to talk things over can work wonders. Sending thoughts and prayers your way and I hope you find comfort baw.

That's a lot going on over that period of time but I've learned through my own experiences there's some good support people on here.
I posted a thread a while ago, on/off updating about the pursuit of a kidney transplant to stay alive (I'm surviving with a single functioning kidney). Since 15 months ago I've:
Lost my best friend a week after coming back from visiting her and the family. She was my biggest supporter in the chase for the transplant. Died unexpectedly.
Preparing for pet loss, coincidentally going through kidney failure just like me
Watching my mother deteriorate from dementia
Watching my father also deteriorate from an unknown physical ailment
The year-wait for any news on the transplant has been exhausting, watching myself deteriorate over time, but I've deprioritized it to get my mind right after carrying all these other changes.

Sometimes it helps to talk about it and yet other times all it does is bring the pain back. Would rather forget about some of it. But also know that time is probably the only answer. Eventually the pain will be less, Eventually I'll heal and be able to get back into doing stuff that keeps my mind busy. Just wish that time would hurry up and get here.

Man you've been and are going through hell it sounds like. Couldn't imagine having to live waiting for a transplant never knowing. Keep us updated, praying for you and your family.
How long has your mom had dementia?

If she left you when you were down, I would say you dodged a bullet.

COVID year, broke it off with a girl (no pics) I wanted to marry bc I found out she was an international escort (she ended up marrying an old guy for an EU passport and 10 million dollars when he dies), got long COVID and lost the ability to do anything over than walk half a mile without chest pains and dizziness like I was about to pass out, and then in therapy had blocked memories of some serious abuse in my 9-12 years that I had to re-go through and am still struggling with the heart issues and the memories.
I’m sorry you’re going through what you’re going through. Nothing wrong with being open and honest about what you’re going through. This too shall pass.

Life is like the seasons. There is spring, summer, fall, and winter. You had a rough winter. You survived. Time to shake off the snow, and start fresh. That’s what make life special. You can make tomorrow what you want it to be. Go make it great.
I’ve always thought of life like this and have use it for getting through many struggles over the years.
My mother reminded me on a Christmas Day years ago that I told her the previous August that her chemo treatments would be done and she would be healing by the end of football season. And it was.
I find comfort and strength in looking just those few months ahead and seeing light. It makes me bow my head and grind it out and even if it’s still an ongoing struggle it’s that much farther away from the beginning and moving towards a healing.
Great advice - and a beautiful way to live.
And it’s a reminder I myself needed today and one I hope the OP considers as well.

You just “found out”?

There’s only two options: she either tells you or you find out. I found out.
She told me she was an executive assistant to this guy who had companies and was worth a couple 100 million (I think between 300-400 million). I even met him one time. He was like 75 years old and flew in one of his planes. We had dated casually before when she was a stage manager for this theater and held down a regular job and then reunited at the start of COVID. I was stuck in the Midwest after my flight was canceled because of Covid, she saw my post on instagram and was moving back from NYC to the west coast and picked me up on the way. We then just never stopped hanging out and got back together.
Turned out she was doing a “girlfriend experience” with this guy and that’s the dude she married after we broke up.

Mate I went through a year like this and it will get better. Get back on the dating circuit and try to get laid. Don't fall into the trap of over sharing the recent events of your life - especially on dates (I made that mistake a few times).
