Glad to know I'm not the only one, here goes.

My partners dad passed away so I've spent the past five days at his parents home. I'm trying to be supportive and help out as much as I can but there's so many things and it's draining me.

We don't have a flat for this year yet and because I've had to get a flat every year this time my partner was supposed to go through the soul destroying process of finding a flat. Of course, I can't ask him this now so I get to remotely book a million viewings. And then there's work, it's my first solo project and I'm already behind. Now I'm super behind and it's worrying me.

The only thing I was looking forward to was my birthday picnic. Which is now cancelled because I don't have the time to organise it and am doing solid flat viewings.

Yes, I'm selfish. But I have no one here to talk to. I don't know anyone other than his immediate family and obviously it's not appropriate to whine to any of them. I feel so isolated and alone.

[edit] I'm so sorry to hear about the death in the family. But you don't have to feel like you're such a bad person because you have feelings too. It's not fair for you to have all of the responsibility on your shoulders like that. I'm only a message away if you want to talk, because I know how hard it can get.
