So my mother is finally back home and in her final stages of recovery, which is good. She won't be able to consume solid food for a few weeks, but other than that she is fine.
The more unfortunate news comes in regards to my own health. Prepare for some TMI. For those who don't know, I suffer from things such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, panic attacks, severe depression, etc. For the past several years, I have taken mood stabilizers and other such pills in order to keep it under control, and am currently attending CBT in an attempt to help with this. However, the events over the past week and a half have really taken their toll on me. I spent around 70+ hours total in the hospital taking care of my mother, only managed to acquire a minimal amount of actual sleep, and missed taking my meds on several instances. Because of this, I have noticed that my blood pressure has shot up, which considering my family history on my father's side, is not a good sign at all. There have been instances where I have had extreme trouble breathing, moving my muscles, and remaining standing. I have been trying to clear my head and better my physical and emotional state, which explains why I might still drop for a day or more at a time if I need time to myself.
I want to thank everyone for understanding and also for all the support over these past few weeks. I love this community and am so honored to be a part of it.
