I'm glad you are still seeing your T. Wow you really have your plate full, moving on top of it all. Awesome that your bf is being great through this.

Maybe go to a pharmacy where you can check your blood pressure yourself and see where it is at. Standbup slowly when you go from standing to sitting. And I can see how that would happen durring a presention if you were standing for a while. Blood pressure can rise and fall pretty quickly. Makensure you are eating well and drinking enough fluids too. When we are stressed it's hard, like with your mother. Hopefully she will be able to get back on track too. But it might take a while. Just encourage her and let her know you are concerned.

My brother in laws mother passed away a few months ago and her husband stopped eating and drinking, then he too ended up in the hospital. He is ok now but it was hard. Is there a hospice house near you or your mother, or somehwere that offers grief counselling? That might be good for her and maybe you also since they specifically deal with loss and grief.

Pugs are AWESOME!!! I had a pug named Chin Sui, he was amazing company. They almost seem human in expression and have so much personality. Great company since they were bread for companions. I hope having them around will help. My pug helped a lot, I had to give him up when I moved, no pets allowed and I really needed low income housing. But I really miss him alot.

Just keep reaching out, and especially taking care of yourself right now.
