10. It's normal to feel low for a while.

You don't owe anyone an explanation for how you feel, so just be for a while and get enjoyment from whatever you can.

You'll probably get tired of sleeping and will look for things that might interest you. You're hanging out at a good place. There are lots of different forums on DU that are dedicated to all sorts of interests. Look around and see if there's something you might like. Art, music, books, TV shows, movies ..... There's a world of worlds out there to lose yourself in.

So you can sleep or you can eat or learn to paint or read books. People say it's a small world, but it's big too, and there are worlds inside of worlds. I'm hoping the best for you during this time, and I hope you use it to help you grow. That's the best thing any of us can do in a situation like this.
