Late to this, but we got you! Thank you for all you do around here. Also, great job being able to reach out and allow us to reach back! Proud of you!

Thank you for the kind offer, I think at this point all I’ve got is a couple more days and maybe hopefully I can be free. Though in the interim, everyone else in my household now has it.
I did spend a few days calling pretty much all the companies I deal with and go ‘hey, you know that money you want for X bill? Well, you need to wait. Cos COVID.’ and overall it worked out ‘okay’.

Hello friends.
My mom is in the final stages of dementia, which means she spent the last week and a half in the hospital with a respiratory infection and I spent a lot of time with her because she can’t be left alone, along with working full time and being a mom and feeling like I’m failing everyone across the board. She has recovered enough to come home today but it’s very very likely it’ll happen again soon (it’s already happened once before this).
On top of this I am still trying to shake getting COVID last month. On top on TOP of this, I haven’t been able to get my antidepressants refilled until Wednesday. I really loathe saying I’m not okay but I’m not okay right now. I have a very strong support system, but the bench is shallow and only a little less worn out than I am.
I think I can keep from going apeshit on anyone for the next 48 hours but just in case the brain weasels win, go easy on me, ‘k?

@Snackness hey, I am so sorry. in case you need someone to say it, that is A Lot, and you should give yourself a lot of grace rn as you handle it. i hope everyone else you interact with will as well.
all the positive vibes sent your way. i know what it is like to go cold turkey for a couple days from antidepressants; it is miserable.
-
@Snackness oh buddy.
-
@Snackness You’re doing the best you can with so much on your plate. You’ve got this. We’ve got your back here. You will get through this and weather this storm. You will be able to get on a couple of days without your medication because you are strong and capable. Be kind to yourself, give yourself love because you are doing enough; more than. You are above and beyond. I’m sending you positive vibes and love

Upvoting this to say ‘I feel you’ feels so wrong on this but…
@Snackness I feel you. I don’t know where you’re at in the world but speak with your pharmacist; they might be able to provide you with some emergency pills to prevent you having to go without in the interim because even a couple of days of drop-off can definitely be harsh.
If you’ve got sick days I reckon 'take ‘em’, knock at least one concern off your plate in the short term to give yourself one less thing playing pile on. Be kind to yourself.

This for sure if you can manage it.

@Snackness You make me want to send you some casseroles or something.

Sincere thank you’s to everyone who reached out, responded, upvoted, etc. I really suck at admitting when I don’t got this, and it just…y’all are great. You helped me a lot.
I’m currently waiting for my seratonin reuptake to be inhibited (got my meds) and I got a timely reminder from my PCP that I suffer from chronic pain which we need to work on (one grows accustomed) so hopefully I’ll be feeling more like myself within a couple of days. Again, thank you. It means more than I can say.
-
@Snackness I hope this little upswing continues, and you DO get some relief!

The board just reminded me to post this:
Please promise me you won’t buy your kids the school supplies that have the pop sockets all over them.

@junipersky What’s a pop socket?

How the fuck is a RULER a fashion item?
-
They put them on //everything//now and I had a literal nightmare that included them.
Don’t get me wrong! I have a very cute dolphin pop it in my fidget box for babies who need it*. Great tools.
THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE ON RULERS AND PENCIL BOXES AND PENCILS/PENS.
deep breath
- I have strict rules with my fidget box. 1. Only one fidget at a time. 2. Fidget must remain under the level of the desk/out of sight of the person using it. 3. You drop/throw it? You have to wait till a transition to pick it up. 4. Fidget can only be in your non-writing hand.

The only kind of rulers that are a fashion statement are the snap bracelets that look like rulers.
