Assembly BethesdaIn the gothic shadows where depression lies and grief over enemies plus a distant best friend weighs heavy, Psalm 22 offers raw hope. "My God, My God" becomes our prayer turning pain to praise.

Marje, a humane beanEldest kid is home again. They discharged from the hospital on Thursday, and new meds regimen seems to be the right path forward. Swapped one, added one, tweaked dosages on two others.
It’s a lot to manage, but I’m so grateful that kid is willing to accept help when it’s needed.
DiaryofaFloppingFish@GayGuyKyle Random strangers don't know you, but I'm sure anyone who knows you will mind. From my experience with depression, I know it distorts reality and it will tell you that you don't matter even if you are the master of the universe. if there is no one available in your inner circle to talk to right now call 988 in the sates, 988lifeline.org or 911. https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/resources/general-resources.html #depressionlies #depression #988 #suicideawareness
The eldest child is home from the hospital. I’m grateful they had access to good care, and grateful that I knew how to get them help.

GeorgeMy Brain Demons have been winning this week.
I've been too exhausted and bone weary to get out of bed. And when I do, my brain wants to know why to bother.
I know it lies. And I remind myself that no matter what my brain tells me, that people _do care_ about me. But... everything feels quite pointless. Everything.
Moving. Eating. Getting up. Living. ... pointless.
I think I need a meds change, or update.
You're right. I need to speak to my therapist.

If someone you love talks to you about suicidal thoughts, please take them seriously and get them help.
Then get help for yourself. Caring for someone with a mental illness can be isolating and terrifying.
This is where I should include links for resources to get help, but I’m tired -because my eldest is currently waiting for a bed in a psych unit, and my youngest is a baby.
