Question at the start of the last paragraph... History above.

I have been using an app to track my eating the the last 10 months and I lost 70 pounds. My mother got very sick and I had to fly back to the US to take care of her. I had my daughter with me and was still working online full time, attending grad school full time, and then became my mothers care taker 24/7 over the months until she died. That meant I was eating whatever I could find in her house and often what was left over after I made food for her. Right after she died the virus broke out and it was a huge fight for over a month trying ty get back where I live. I finally made it back and weighed in and had gained 35 pound

My dad's death was rough and long... It was a struggle for 8 months and shocking. My mom died more quickly but just like with my dad, I was her care taker at the end and the last few months were so rough and she deteriorated so much. He died 4 years ago and she died a few weeks ago. How long does it take for me to visualize them all the rest of our lives and not just sick and dying. That's all I see of them in my head anymore... Just the sick deteriorated end. I want to remember them from all the other times but it feels locked away. How long will it be like this?

Hello,

I am a middle aged lady who had always wanted to try D&D, but was worried I would bug people who knew what they were doing and slow the game down by sucking at it. I just started playing a tabletop RPG for the first time about a month ago and I am hooked! Unfortunately, they only meet about twice a month and I live in an odd time zone.

What I have in mind is a group for those folks who have wanted to try, but haven't had a chance yet. Of course folks who have been doing it a while and know a lot are also more than welcome to join! Overall, we can all learn it together and suck and help each other get better while having fun.

I bought D&D 5th Edition to start learning be

My husband and I might be a little judgemental but I think when it comes to choosing who you let in your life, it's good to be a bit discerning.

So for me and my husband, part of picking who we let in our lives, we have the "Letterkenny Test."

Remember the first episode? One bit of subtle and excellent character development came when Wayne is getting crap from the drunk guy in the bathroom, but mainly ignores it, and later he is outside and that same guy is taking a piss and giving him crap. He still ignores the guy because he knows him and the guy is drunk or whatnot, THEN the jerk who took Wayne's woman comes out and pushes the drunk guy in the pee soaked trash, but Wayne helps the drun

I don't know where to start but I am at the end of my rope holding with my fingers onto a straw about to drop on a camels back.

Tonight I had to spend 5 hours with my delusional conspiracy theorist brother. He is a lot older than I am and when we were kids he molested me for years. I told my mom about it and her solution was to lock me in an empty room by myself and only let me out for meals and school. Being a small kid who wanted to be allowed to play or go outside, I took it back and told her I made it up and I lived with it for 3 more years. I brought it up with her 2 more times later in my life (I am middle aged) and she told me that she refused to let me make her feel bad about it.

I have been through the wringer lately. 24/7 care of my terminal mother with my 10 year old also living with me. 2 weeks ago I flew from China and stepped off the plane to become my mother's 24/7 caregiver during her final days and I am still working full time via computer and warning my MA.

I have been through the days where she got up to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes and I went with her for 18 hours a day...I finally figured it was a UTI and got it treated. She is coherent now and can communicate but very angry that I didn't let he stay delusional. She has had mean days, struggling days, sad days, frustrated days,etc. Today she asked me to kill her it drug her into Oblivion until

We found out my mom has terminal Liver Cancer about 2 weeks ago and they said she has about 6 months (though realistically less). I can't leave work to see her until December 20th so everyday feels like a gamble and I am worried constantly.

My dad died 2 years ago and a month after that I lost my best friend, my cousin, and another dear friend all in sudden and tragic ways which I have not had a chance to deal with yet because a lot went wrong in my life after and I was laid off, had to take care of everything for my father and then moved to another country for a job so have been running for the last few years.

My job is shifting and they are putting more responsibilities on me daily and

We found out my mom is going to die of liver cancer about a week ago and they said she has about 6 months. I am having a very difficult time with it.

I am noticing things like this will be her last Halloween and I am sure she has those thoughts also but I won't say them to her.

She is trying very hard to be nice and friendly with hospital staff (completely out of character for her) and I know it has to do with her fear and sadness. I feel like all I can do is re-asure her that we are all ok, tell her she has done enough in her life, and help keep her interested in things and hopefully pleasant.

Just really rough right now... So much fear and grief for all of us.

I have lost a lot of people the last few years including a difficult death for my father that I was there for every day. My mom was diagnosed with late stage liver cancer on Friday and I am a total wreck.

Today at work I just wanted to tell everyone to go fuck themselves. They are all whiny and useless.

I am told to rely on them, but they are all unreliable so fine, I'll do it myself but then they get in my way and throw childish tantrums about things that are their own fault. I wanted to scream, "either be useful or get the fuck out of my way."

I am always the calm happy person that everyone talks to or asks for advice from, but all I can think about is my mom and death and I want them

When I was a kid I swam a lot and would get migraines and throw up from it and adults told me it was because I was swallowing the water even though I tried not to.

I recently added swimming back into my exercise routine and to teach my kids how to swim. Every day after I take them swimming I get a terrible headache and feel generally sick and tired, sometimes a little queasy. I know I am not swallowing the water or even getting it up my nose so could it be just from absorbing the chemicals from the water? It's an indoor pool so it's not from heat or sun. I also really scrub down afterwards so it shouldn't be left over on my skin. My skin is fine actually, I don't have a rash or anythin

I just turned 40 and today I got my grades back for this last semester in grad school and I got a 4.0! I work full time and have kids plus I have health issues so I am really proud of myself for being able to stick it out and do well - I don't have friends or family to share it with so thought I would share here.
