Depression

I feel like I am slipping into depression. My mom has been sick. She was moved from assisted living to a hospital and now is in a skilled nursing facility. I am overwhelmed with all the unknowns. Money is just one concern. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong except she was over medicated. They took her off the meds and she improved. Now they moved her and put her back on all the meds. It doesn't make sense.

Then my husband has to have surgery on May 12th and will be off for 4 weeks, if not more.

Just seems to be one think after another.

Man that is a lot for one person to handle. All I can say is that this too shall pass. I know with depression coming in it makes it that much worse. I will pray for your mom and I hope your husband recovers quickly. Hugs to you we are here for you.
