This time of year is meant to be filled with joy and family get-togethers, but not everyone has family or anything to be happy about. So are you ok?

Firstly, you need to eat and sleep, you can't solve anything if you don't have the energy for it. Make it simple like some soup or chicken. Your girlfriend might need some space or time to think, be patient with her. At the very least, keep goog terms with her and agree to take care of the kid, even if you don't live together.

Iโ€™ve done all of this as best I can, but Iโ€™m struggling with the eating and sleeping. Iโ€™m doing my best though.

That sounds so tough man. You're in my thoughts, I don't know what else to say. I hope you get all the strength and happiness you need.
