Just spent a funfilled 6 days in a psychiatric hospital. I was sent there by my boss(friend) who cared enough to realize I was sliding down really fast. She cared enough to get an intervention and call my therapist to get me somewhere safe. I learned more about self care and got meds changed. It was basically a good experience. I am now on Viibryd and trazadone. so far so good. still need to work on setting boundaries and not worrying about everyone else.

yesterday was my first day back at work. so far so good, but now the weekend is coming and I am supposed to go shopping with my folks. argh! I am thinking about telling my dad that I need to drive separately because his driving scares me. I also need to find a way out of going to lunch with them on Sunday. They just overwhelm me with their neediness. They know I was hospitalized, but don't seem to get how much they wear me down

Well done so far! You've done really well. I hope you can find/have found a way to set that boundary that you need.
Good luck. ❤️

Tell them you need some space/rest to gear up for the week ahead

I am glad you have a boss/friend who is supportive, and proactive.
I don't know your situation but you need a break from mom & dad obligations for sure, or to be able to have control over that part of your life. Your parents might think they are doing the right thing (keeping an eye on you, keeping you "busy" who knows....but this does seem to be more for them than for you as they have not (?) asked you what would help. As for dad's driving. You could be up front. Or, you could have another place to go "after" or "before" that requires you to travel solo & meet them. It is ok, also to say that you are sorry but cannot make lunch.

Hi,
It feels good to read your posts. How was the weekend?

Could you attend an alternate service for yourself to enjoy? instead of, or in addition to?
Good for you taking next weekend!

I don't want to miss the service, because most of the rest of my family will be there. It's just so hard, because my dad is such a jerk. I feel so bad for mom that i try to make up for his bad behaviors. But I will figure out a way to make it work.

You do not have to "make up" for your father's behavior. It is his behavior. And your mom' reaction is hers to own. You could find a way to detach perhaps, he is just another person at the service, you are there for the service, and all that you find ok/positive about it...not to make up for his behavior....
