I’m so sorry that the support wasn’t there. It’s hard to fathom. I’ve been an avid reader since childhood, so I’ve always felt mental health care is as important as treatment for heart disease or diabetes. Not a moral issue, but a medical one.

Sending positive vibes and well wishes to all who are hurting and in need of care.

Thank you for your note. I feel sometimes that I can’t tell my daughters, have some issues with some sisters so I don’t tell them, and I have told my husband but he doesn’t know what to say. Maybe hold me, say you love me and WE will get through this together. My husband has no clue

Celia16,
Thank you.

I absolutely 🩷🩵your last sentence, I wish there was a way to send it as a blast post, so everyone on Mayo could see it and read it and then print it out and hang it up, where they would see it over and over and over..realizing that there really are kind and caring folks, like you, wishing them well.
Shelley
