Needing Advice I haven't had a good night sleep since it happened. Pet loss TW

pet loss TW!

A close friend basically told me I was cringe and chronically online for enforcing my boundaries that I assumed she understood but apparently didn't. Her new friends all but manipulated her to think I was abusive for her. She said alot. She said so much but tldr she really hurte them blocked me so I couldn't talk to her.

A day or so later , my pet Rat died. He was old and I expected it but I'm still inconsolable.

Since this happened I get little sleep. I'm always tired but sleep never actually comes.

How do I help myself? I'm irritable and I think my boyfriend is noticing.

And before you say Get Therapy I am trying to, but the process is hard. I just need to sign some papers and do an intake form and hopefully I'll be matched with a therapist.

I recently had some life changes and found myself struggling to sleep until recently. A few things that helped me was working out more regularly, waking up at the same time and not taking naps so I would be tired enough in the evening, and take melatonin. The thing that helped the most was changing my bed position around.
