Daisy,
Ok, here I am again writing a few words and then erasing them, again and again and again - that's when I think I have to just say what I think, and hope for the best.
My small friend, there are times in our lives when being in that small and alone place is a strong thing, when we are learning, coming to terms in a calm way with the darkness, having a brave look around and seeing with a newfound strength all the beast that dewll there. I don't know if that's where you are, and I sure don't want to put words in your mouth, but are you sure it's a bad place to be? Is it possible you are digesting the hard stuff, and being sad and quiet is part of that?
The discomfort (a little understated) of, for lack of a better word, healing might be necessary. Sometimes I can comfort myself with that, can trust that I in the dark forest of getting better, not the one of unhappy madness.
I hope this helps. Know, please, if nothing else, there are lots of warm, caring shoulders around, lots of strong hands to hold. I have two of each.
