(((Oddtheodd))) I am so sorry you must feel so helpless with this challenge. It’s very hard to watch someone we love struggle and there is really nothing we can do to fix or change anything.

I feel for her as cervical cancer can be a very serious health challenge. Plus, the additional imbalance of hormones can produce horrible mood swings and depression. Added to that how she already struggled with ptsd? She is most likely overwhelmed and is mentally looking to reduce and simplify in order to manage and have some sense of control.
