Think we might be going to visit his dad in hospital tomorrow. He wants to see him as often as possible before he passes away. He’s 83 years old and not holding up.


Managed to book an initial consultation with my son’s new OT mid October. With everything else going on I’m ashamed to say I don’t feel like it. It’s a 2 hour meeting at my HOUSE. It’s a mess and I will be the one left to clean up everything. We don’t like having people here hence it currently looks like a dump. Heaven save me.
I think you need to have a conversation with your partner about your mental health and your struggles.

I had to, and so still need to, have the conversation with my family. They, too, just try to explain it away and give advice like go for a walk, drink water, go to the gym. But I patiently tell them about how I feel and already do those things, along with meds and therapy. It's an ongoing conversation that I wish they would finally get, but they don't so I have to remind them.
