Treat it like any kind of traumatic event that causes grief, like divorce, death of a family member, etc: lean on your support system, talk to a therapist if you need additional help, focus on taking one single step at a time, and try to take care of yourself in terms of food and sleep. Most of all, be kind to yourself. You’re suffering, and it’s hard, but you’re not alone. This is just part of being human, of having limitations and having things not go as we want. We all go through it, it’s just your turn right now. You’ll get through this too, just breathe and take one step at a time. EDIT: oh, and in terms of actual resources, I’ve found meditation and breathwork to be fantastic. I currently use the Waking Up app and Wim Hof videos from YouTube, but I’ve also found that live group sessions are easier to stick to. There are online ones too. There’s a book called “It’s Grief” by Edy Nathan that my therapist wrote that I found helpful when going through divorce. And finally, lectures by the spiritual teacher Ram Dass have been life-changing to me. You can find them on Audible, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. I like “Experiments in Truth” and “Becoming Nobody” on Audible. When I was younger I dismissed this stuff as woo drivel, but as I’ve aged (and gone through more suffering), I’ve found much more wisdom in it. This is just what’s been helpful for me, it may or may not be for you.
