Right now I feel like a failure because my father in law came, last minute and a week early, to help me. I am having mental health issues, and it’s making survival difficult. I can’t drive today. Surprisingly, it isn’t because of my swollen eyelid. That’s coming from something else. Not sure what.
I am manic. I can’t drive. So Dad does the school pickups and dropoffs. I really appreciate him.
It’s hard to have a mental illness, or any chronic illness. Sometimes you have to accept help. My husband and I are tremendously lucky that my inlaws are so helpful. I just feel guilty needing it.
More articles coming soon.

I am so sorry! I am going through the exact same thing! I couldn’t drive today either and had to accept help. It’s really hard when you are independent. Give yourself grace and know you are not alone. I’m here if you want to vent! ❤️❤️🩹
Omg thank you for your kind words! Sorry you’re dealing with this too. I would love to talk.
