I am finding myself not wanting to go to class and wanting to burn. Rather as everyone here can say in unison I am becoming more depressed. I am missing two classes today and I burned last night. I am worried about the family stress that is to come. My sister who does not really want to come here is driving from Florida. She should be here by friday. Much more stress and I will be back in a psychiatric unit again.

I don't know you very well but I'm glad you're reaching out for help. Are you on medication? Have you tried any self help methods to feel better. Please take extra good care of yourself and never lose hope.

I'm sooo sorry you're hurting so much! I feel myself going down the same road unfortunately, like you said. I've got bills due in about two weeks and I don't have enough money for them at the moment. I may get more next week, but we'll have to see. I'm getting nervous again. My sister lives in DC and she hasn't been home since Memorial Day I think. We're all here for you leacon! Good luck with your sister.

Leacon, you're carrying much on you shoulders right now - your father's condition, your mother's exhaustion, the soon arrival of a problematic sister, and your own depression. You deserve a medal just for being able to post!

I wish you the best as you navigate this emotional obstacle course. It won't last forever and the important thing is that you finish safely.

I wish I could scoop some of the pain you're feeling away and toss it out the window.

Please rant out what you feel about your family situation in detail to a friend, family member, or on here. Get the feelings out through words.

And please also try to get some emotional support. In these times I KNOW you and everyone in your family is going to be flocking to your dad, giving him support. This is a time where YOU need to ask for some of that support to come to you too. Is there a family member who can sit over coffee *or whatever* with you? Is there a friend who you can rant at in a similar low stress environment? Especially if it's a family member, every time you and that family member see your father together you can meet up, so that along with the negative stress you get some positive experience and some emotional support.

thinking of you , take care
