I am worried about my daughter.

She is bipolar but is working retail to make just about enough to afford insurance.

We live in deep the red Tennessee and when she got to her job at Home Depot today the parking lot was full.
The store was full of people and she had a panic attack wondering what they don't get about social distance.

Fortunately her boss said that the company has a policy for this and sent her home for 2 weeks with pay.

I ask her what they were buying and she said that they were mostly milling about because there is nothing to do.

He fights depression and refuses to take any meds except smoke pot few times a week. Normally I can help him with distractions like going to movies, out to eat, etc

But lately he is pulling back, doesn’t even want to do dog walks or go for a drive. Today he asked me to take dog somewhere then just went to bed.

He has been edgy and picking fights with me too.

I am keeping my spirits up with doing my dance class on zoom now, talking more to my kids, reading, walking, etc. I have been trying new recipes too, doing extra laundry and housework.

I understand what you and he must be going through. I hope he feels better soon. Glad to hear you're keeping busy, working and getting done with projects.
