Yes. My insurance (CDPHP) covers Vraylar.
I’m very worried about you. I hope that you can find something or someone to help you stop this downward spiral.
I’m sorry about your Mom too.
I sometimes hate to admit it, but the truth is that what helped me most with my mother was finding an excellent memory care facility for her. I had to admit to myself that under my and my sister’s care, she was getting worse. She now has professional help 24/7 and the type of care that we could never give her.
I sometimes still feel guilty about not being able to care for her but taking that step was the best decision I ever made. And trust me, she absolutely did not want to go. Lots of crying and screaming and threats of no longer speaking to me. But you know what? She’s happier now. Truly. Calmer, more social and gaining a little weight. Her memory continues to deteriorate but not as fast as it was.
I don’t know where you live but I’m in Upstate New York and it’s starting to get dark a lot earlier here. I think this adversely affects my mood as I too have been feeling more depressed lately. My solution is to make more art and to participate more at my volunteer job.
Please hang on. It always somehow, some way, gets better.

@meryw thank you so much for your reply! I really needed your kind words. Ive switched therapists and am looking for a support group regarding my mom. She is not bad enough yet to really take any action, so I do what I can but I have no say right now. Sorry about your mother.
I just didn't expect it to happen this soon, whatever it is. She just turned 70.
