Hugs, leahcar. That's a whole lot. I hope your mom's treatment goes well and she's up and better soon, and I really hope power returns asap.

I'm sorry, leahcar. Taking your mom out of the equation, this storm and the fallout and just pandemic life in general is so much. Add in your worries about your mom and it's simply too much. I hope her surgery and recovery go well.

I'm sorry leahcar. Any one of those things is a lot to deal with on it's own, together it's all too much.

Hey y’all. I haven’t read the thread 😬. I’m just sneaking back in here after a bit of a break. My mental health is...not great. I talked to DH about my struggles and he supports me. I’m homeschooling and feel like I’m losing myself a bit. So we’re trying to find a balance. It’s a weird feeling when your kids are thriving but you’re not. Hopefully we can find a way for it to all come together. But I’ve kind of been burying my head in the sand for the last month. Brains are FUN!
Anyway, I miss you guys. But don’t miss the world falling apart every day due to an incompetent administration. So.

I don't really know how I'm doing because I am focused on holding everyone else together all of the time. I think at some point things will calm down and I'll suddenly process everything at once and that will not be good. But I'm afraid if I try to process things right now I'll fall apart and there just isn't time or space for that right now. :Swallows Effexor:

Ls2012 i am so sorry. Hopefully you're able to get her in with her therapist. Is the school providing counseling? That might be a back up option.

I’m so sorry, Ls2012. I had a friend die by suicide when I was 18 and he was 17 and it was such a monumental loss at that age and for that reason. You’re a wonderful mom to look out for her well-being right now.

Ls2012, I am so sorry 😢 if your daughter needs support, please reach out to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They helped me so much after my father passed to come to terms with what happened. Their resources are unique and so beneficial.

I just need somewhere to get this out.
My dad went to the doctor today. After asking him the normal cognitive questions, they told my mom that it was time to contact the Alzheimer's Association for help with making a decision on next steps. Apparently he couldn't answer anything they asked beyond his name and got angry during the questions.
