steadying support while you figure it out, presh.
just wondering here. . . would your parents be willing to care for your son while you live elsewhere and work to get your life together? just wondering.
I hope that yiu're seeing your pdoc
If you aren't up to solid food right now I would push fluids
Drinks like Ensure, Boost etc are really high in nutrition and there's several brands
Soups, juice
Please reach out for the help that you need
I'm sorry that you're hurting and yes your son needs you...xo
