You say your children are doing well. How can that be?

You’re very strong and smart, Dragon, you’ll get there, this is a breakthrough not a breakdown, your body preparing for the next stage. One step at a time. Let us know what and if you need anything from us. Big big hugs x

Was out of contact all weekend, and just saw this. I am so glad you are pulling yourself up again.
I hope your animals are providing you strength, and relief from the stress.
Do what you need to do to keep yourself safe.

Oh Dragn, depression is such a beast. Getting out of bed is the hardest part. I’m glad to hear you’ve done that! Continue with IC. And if you ever see an opportunity to leave WH, don’t be afraid to grab it. Timing is everything, so keep your antenna up. Don’t be afraid to ask for help IRL. I know you’ve been in a tough position with your living situation. Safety first, of course. Sending hugs.

I can't say it's better. I am in IC. I am finally staying out of bed. I even shower.
As someone who's been there, 'staying out of bed' and showering can be a HUGE step. It probably feels awful, but you wouldn't be doing it if you weren't able to. It took you a long time to get to this point, and getting out of it won't happen overnight. But you've got positive things going for you, including seeing an IC. It's nice to know that someone is there to help you see the forest through the trees and make sure you are taking care of yourself.

Thanks Zebra!
The kids ARE good. Always bumps in the road of parenting and 2 weeks of everyone rotating sick didn't help. Especially now that I have it. Thankfully they all seem to be over it, whatever the hell it was. The symptoms were so all over the place. The twins ended up with fevers that were scary. The older two mainly had head cold symptoms with no fever.
I know and am reminded alot that kids feel the tension on the house so I don't need the reminder here. One reason I stayed away actually. A divorce will happen but unless you are willing to fork over the money to make it happen now, nagging me about it won't help.
I'm still struggling to get out of bed every day. The animals give no comfort. Hell we lost all of the goats and 3 horses thanks to fucking predators and that's with locking them up close to the house with barbed wire, motion lights, hot wire. Ugh. My brother loves wolves but I told him of I saw one again I was shooting it!
Anyways support is greatly appreciated. 😊

You're welcome. 
You do not need to explain yourself.
Ugh, I'm so sorry about your animals.

So sorry about the loss of the animals.
I no longer have chickens due to coyotes, and am waiting a year or more to replace them, hoping they find a new food source and leave mine alone.

I'm so sorry about the goats and horses Drgn. Those goats were such a source of comedy around your place.
Do you still have sugar gliders?
Spring colds stink. I'm glad you guys are on the other side of it.
