Hello...

I have been doing so well for several months, and that made the slide I’ve been in for a couple of weeks now almost shocking. I know that a lot of it — probably all of it — is stress. I work full time (plus — probably more like 50-55 hours a week), I’m in school full time for a Master’s, I am a mom, and my dad is not doing well health-wise so I’m scared to death about that. I was handling it all until my dad went into the hospital. Now I’m starting to feel depressed and apathetic. I’m determined to keep on keeping on, but it can be so hard. It’s not bad yet — but I’m terrified of it getting bad.
