Hi Ali,

(((Ali)))

thanks for your post. I am sorry you too are feeling isolated today...I suppose it's already Easter where you are. You're right--a lot of people here are, in a strange way, joined together through this experience of feeling on their own. I like what you said about the person having a crisis of their own and so the behavior is connected to this. You're right, I didn't expect it to happen.

I just had a really good talk with my Dad. He really listened and said some of the same things you just have about not thinking too far ahead because it gets really overwhelming pretty quickly. We did talk briefly about options of renting / selling / buying a place, which was hard to do, but maybe a good start on the topic. I've decided that right now all I need a plan for is today and I'm going to break it down into this morning and this afternoon. Beyond that, I don't feel I can handle much, but this will give me a start. I'm just going to try to get through the day.

I'll probably see the doc for some more sleeping pills--I have a few left and have rarely been using them, but they do help. I realize I need to go to bed earlier just because it is physically pretty draining with all this going on. I know it's pretty common for people to be feeling tired all the time, which I do.

There is an MC session booked for 3 weeks from now. This was related to W.'s 2 weeks away and then MC suggested that a little space would be helpful right now. I don't know if W. is going to want to keep that appointment and I may have to bump it due to scheduling. I'm just leaving it as is right now.

Anyway, that's too far down the road, so back to my focus on getting through today. Thanks Ali for checking in.
