well since the last time i wrote i am still severely depressed, now of course the holidays are here. i can just about get out of bed in the morning, but offered my son to come for christmas with my 2 grandsons. well then he started putting more demands on me wanting me to keep my one grandson for a week then wanting to come back for new years with a girl i will never be able to handle all this, i started telling him & he is really angry with me saying i am not normal & various other things i am now thinking of cancelling everything & just going into the hospital. sometimes he puts me on a guilt trip also.

Wow....I really feel for you on this. How do you take care of yourself and your family at the same time.

I would first slow down and find a way to comfort yourself and clear your mind of all things except your needs. Ask yourself what you need to do for yourself that will put your mind at ease. What is it that you need right now?

You may have to set boundaries. This seems unpleasant and unfair to your family but if you are contemplating going into the hospital then it is time to take care of yourself. Your son is an adult and he must find a way to accept your wishes.

(I am not a therapist as this is only my opinion so please accept it as that, just an opinion)
