I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Hugs to all!

Hugs, @Jennifer 1967. Please do call your NP, if you haven't already. You must keep yourself safe. I'm sorry you've been struggling for quite a while. You will get past this hard period with time. I hope any medication increase makes a difference, quickly.

Have you seen or talked with your daughter, lately? If not, I'm sure she'd love a chat. You know she loves you very much.
