So excited, happy. Finally I got my vaccination appointment. The first on the 26th of May , the second on my birthday. Staying at home is no option, because I work in healthcare, with very close patientcontact. (I make mammograms). Hopefully I can relax a bit more after my vaccination and let the anxiety go.· 1 reply

My uncle just died from COVID. He wasn’t that much older than I am, so I kind of grew up with him. Just ten days ago my mom had been pleading with him to get vaccinated, but he wanted to wait to make sure the shots were really safe. I’m kind of devastated.· 6 replies

I just found out my little bonus kid is in a treatment center on a suicide watch tonight. He and I share a hobby and a couple weeks back he opened up to me that he's severely depressed and was wanting to hurt himself. I let his parents know and thankfully he had also been talking to them. I'm just heartbroken because him being in this center means that his parents had to call 911 and have him admitted and I know that was so hard for them to do. He's a young kid and has his whole life ahead of him but just wants to end it all and I don't know how to help him.· 7 replies

Middle aged woman with mommy issues...but missing her today.· 1 reply
She got so much wrong with me, but she had the best intentions and tried so hard.
She got so much right, too. I forget that sometimes. Sometimes I remember and dismiss it out of spite.
“They did the best they could with the tools they had.” I forgot where I first heard that but I’ve carried it with me like a mantra since my parents passed. They truly did. Whatever else was missing, whatever I needed that they couldn’t give, the love was always there.
Always.
That’s something.
My confidence in my own abilities. Faith in my own power. My own strength. They gave me that, too.
That’s also something.
They’re why I’m messed up, but they’re also why I’m okay.
Shit’s complicated.
She died before I figured out how smart she really was. Sad thing is I don’t think ever figured that out for herself.
Ignore me - just crying in my car waiting to pick up my son.

The nice thing about posting about Jewish history is how quickly it flushes out the antisemites. 😘· 2 replies
