How to emotionally stabilize yourself when you feel you are all alone?

General (Women Only)

Hello to all the incredible women,

I am a 24-year-old woman and the only child of my parents. I recently came out of a bad breakup and am still trying to move on. The breakup shattered the way I look at relationships and completely altered my emotional state. My mother suffers from rheumatic heart disease, and I am pretty much the only support system for my parents. My paternal family is not very supportive, and my maternal family lives far away.

After the breakup, I have been finding it difficult to move on and stabilize myself emotionally. I feel like I cannot fight through life all by myself, but at the same time, I have become skeptical about love and relationships.

I am very close to my mother, so I often get negative thoughts like, “when she passes away, I will have nobody,” especially since I am not very close with my father.

How do I deal with this?
