No news is good news, right?

It's been about a week since I've posted anything here. No really big events happening at the moment. Well, that's not 100% true. My oldest daughter has started on Prozac for depression. We'll see how that goes. Her ex-boyfriend is self-harming and his mother doesn't think he needs help. So he's trying to drag her (my daughter) into his world of self-pity and depression. I'm fighting hard to help her keep her head on straight.

Another one bites the dust

As of today, four of the five of us living together are on some type of mental health medication. Now, we're going to send our youngest, 8yo, for an evaluation based on his behavior at school and at home. *sigh*

Like father, like son?

I gave my son a ride today for a mental health evaluation. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I'm glad he's taking the first step toward getting the help he needs. On the other hand, it's tough when I realize that there is a genetic component to his mental health and that I am partly responsible just from that standpoint. It is what it is, but it's a hard pill to swallow. 

I'm Still Here

Just in case someone reads this blog, I thought I would update it and let everyone know I'm still here. Was in a bit of a dark place last time I posted. Doing okay now, although missing my meds for a day has me a little emo. I'm back on track now and should be fine in 24 to 48 hrs.

Thanks for stopping by.
