[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not too long ago, I had a cry while walking through a food court. A random woman came up to me and asked if I would like a hug. I thought about it for a second and said yes please. She gave me a great hug and reassured me that I could get through it. Her kindness has stayed with me. Wish I could pay it forward and offer you a hug, OP. I hope you can find some small things to give you peace and joy as you navigate hard times.[/quote]

This happened to me too. I was in my early thirties and had switched jobs to a very stressful, overwhelming pressure cooker type of job. I was so panicked about the switch I had made and was just  crying while walking down the street in DC. Honestly I don’t even think I was even aware I was crying as I was so caught up in feeling panicked and stressed. A woman approached me and asked me if I was okay and if she could give me a hug and that immediately calmed me down. She talked to me for a bit and helped me come up with some immediate ways to handle my situation and then gave me her number if I wanted to check in. I actually did a few days following that encounter and then was able to get myself back on track and deal with what I was going through. That was nearly 20 years ago and I still remember her act of kindness. OP I too would give you a hug if i could. You’re going to get through this. Take one day at a time and be kind to yourself.
