[Night Fury]

around this time last year I had a problem similar to this, one person I met the week she died and a old friend died, around the same time in car accidents

What I learned from that experience is that its harder to help others out if you are still stressed or worried about something... it's easier to help and calm others once you are back to normal
it also is healthier for you once you are back close to normal at least...
I hope you are feeling better, because when I had felt sad about their deaths I caught a cold and I was sick for 3 times longer than any other cold I've had... and spend my whole winter break in bed plus a few weeks

thought about it again recently because someone a couple days ago said that I reminded him of the person who died... it's easier to talk about things when you are feeling better, it's hard to force feeling better but just got to take time here and there to calm yourself and give yourself some joy
hope you can, wishes you some luck and that you can feel better
