Break ups suck. For better or worse, it can always be a pain to go through such a dramatic and drastic change in life. For that I am sorry; and I can relate with a lot of the experiences you're talking about; I know depression, anxiety, and uncertainty quite well. The future can be a terrifying and tumultuous thing; one that often turn into a horrifying silence in the next moment.
I'm sorry that you had to go through hospice. It's never a fun turn of events.

In my head the only direction life could really go was down with small moments of highs within the spiral of madness that we called life. I wanted to die. I tried to die. It would have certainly been easier. I would have simply ceased to exist. There would be no sorrow, no pain, no anger, no anxiety or worrying about the world around me crumbling to the ground; but there would also be no happiness, love, or the ability to help those around me that I care deeply about.
