Need to vent TW: mental health I recently had a sudden & unplanned admission to an inpatient behavioural health clinic. I’m totally fine! Better than I have been in a while, really! However… I was gone for 8 days. My mother-in-law came by while my partner was at work & she deep cleaned for hours. When I came home, it was *so nice* to see! We have 4 kids, both work full-time, & until a couple of months ago I was a full-time student. Sooo I definitely appreciate any help I can get *immensely*. That said, I noticed the monstera I had bought a week before my admission— my first monstera that I was supremely proud of & happy with— had been put outside in the east tx heat & direct sunlight 😭 I was so overwhelmed with so much at once, seeing my plant dead as hell made me actually tear up lol. Like… almost as if my irrational (unconscious) fear of lacking control may not me so irrational after all 😂 I mean, COME ON! Who sees a house with 20+ houseplants, picks one & says “hmmm, nah…. This should NOT be inside” lol. Anyway, my partner basically got onto me for getting so emotional. I get it looks super ungrateful, but idk! It just got to me! Anyway, if you’re struggling just get yourself evaluated. I’ve been on 10+ anti-psychs & anti-depressants, & after a >20 year struggle with poor mental health, I finally got a med I really like with no side effects :’) Originally by u/Interesting_Ideal429 on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/yvgkapmk
