If you’re navigating a toxic or difficult relationship, you may feel like you’re trying to find yourself again while also grieving what’s been lost. It can be confusing how someone can make you feel both deeply connected and disconnected at the same time. If you’re trying to grow your family, you may feel exhausted, unsure, and living in that constant gray space—sometimes losing hope, sometimes filled with it. You may also want to connect with your partner, but fertility struggles, intimacy challenges, or sexual disconnect can make that feel impossible.
