I don’t feel able to do anything, I am not coping with anything and don’t know how to motivate myself.
Please don’t feel that you have to do anything if you don’t feel up to it. Nothing really matters that much in the grand scheme of things, (although there are sometimes consequences). For most of us here, the worst thing has already happened. Only try to take care of yourself for now, rest, eat a little stay hydrated and get some fresh air. And read other posts so you realise that you are not alone.

I’m so sorry to hear about your partner. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.

No, as SadGirlfriend says, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel up to, not yet. It’s devastating and all-consuming. Just look after yourself right now.
