    CW : suicide

    I had a breakdown earlier. I took my gf to the dentist today because she's been barely able to function lately. She's in a ton of pain because her foot is completely destroyed after a failed suicide attempt six years ago. She was a victim of sexual abuse as a child and was forced into sex work in high school so her mother wouldn't get evicted. After we went back to her place and I fell asleep on her bed between her and her dog, which used to be her sister's, but her sister didn't survive her suicide attempt last year. I woke up and I was just overwhelmed by how hard and sad her life has been. I just want to take all her pain away, but I know how unrealistic that is. She's in therapy and is responsible with taking her meds and her life is better now than it's ever been, but it just breaks my heart.
