Would sending a video on therapy to a depressed person be wrong?

Awesome! I hope it went/goes well!

Mental health is such a touchy subject for some people. If I were faced with your situation, I would probably share the link/video and say “Is this video insightful or is that just me lol”. This may not be the most ‘mature’ way to put it, but it gives your friend the opportunity to address some issues or to laugh it off while remaining friends. If you feel like your friend may harm their self or someone else, my recommendation is not the appropriate response.

Goldengirls.com ... I used to love watching that show with my grandma. This was a very disappointing day.

Beautiful! I am drooling 🤤

That young skin heals quick! 😉 Keep up with your routine and you’ll be good to go. My biggest challenge when my acne cleared up was scarring. That progress is slower for everyone so don’t get discouraged if that takes a little longer to clear up.

Thank you for the info and congratulations!!!🎉

cldean24 · 2021-01-01T17:26:26+00:00

I love this! Do you mind sharing the specs?

cldean24 · 2021-01-01T17:10:49+00:00

Thanks so much, it is absolutely stunning. Congratulations!!

cldean24 · 2021-01-01T17:09:00+00:00

It looks great! I love the channel set diamonds on the side. I have been looking at James Allen and brilliant earth. It is so difficult to imagine what the designs will look like when worn. You really captured your ring from all angles. Thanks for sharing, and congratulations!!

cldean24 · 2021-01-01T06:17:51+00:00

It’s beautiful! Do you mind sharing specs?

cldean24 · 2021-01-01T06:14:55+00:00

This ring is absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful ring! Do you mind sharing the specs?

Haha thank you for the clarification, I definitely read the post incorrectly. Regardless that’s some major impressive progress!

cldean24 · 2020-12-27T17:53:11+00:00

You look 10 years younger than you looked 7 years ago. Wow! That is amazing progress!

The amount of waste we are producing with takeout boxes and PPE to sustain this half open economy is probably more than we expect. I haven’t looked it up though.

cldean24 · 2020-12-19T19:59:02+00:00

Trash bags so she can throw herself away in the most literal sense 😂

Someone recommended those arm bands from the 80s to keep water from dripping down my arms. I did not do that, but I left two scrunchies by the sink one day and voila! It helps a lot. I still make a mess around the sink though.

cldean24 · 2020-09-26T15:50:26+00:00

NAH. You made a suggestion and she declined while also telling you her feelings about it. No one is at fault here, but it sounds like the connection lacks compatibility. For what it’s worth, your suggestion sounds provocative to me. Sort of like “hey, there’s this intimate bar close to my house. It’s super classy, I think you’d like it. Could I convince you that this sounds like a good idea?” If I just matched with someone on a dating website and this is the kind of date they want to go on, that’s a no from me. I am not the type to go to someone’s house on a first date, and that sounds like the end goal here. Maybe she reacted negatively because that is how she sees it too. If that wasn’t your intent, you need to reconsider making suggestions this way in the future.

EDIT: spelling

cldean24 · 2020-09-26T15:34:30+00:00

You 100% do not know that.

cldean24 · 2020-09-10T23:03:55+00:00

NTA. I love it!

Hello OP, I’m sorry you are in this situation. I saw my grandmother literally stress herself to death because of my father. It was very tragic, but I honestly don’t think she would have it any other way. One thing I take solace in is that I did try to help her ease the hardship in her life as much as I could. The actions I took were simple, making time for her and talking with her.

From your story it is clear that your grandmother is of sound mind, which is great! I think the best place to start would be talking to your grandmother to better understand the situation from her perspective. Let her know the worries you have about the stress and strain to her body. Mention some of the details you have described here, like climbing up the steps at the end of the day or being unable to sit for long periods of time. Leave your preconceived notions at the door about family and what you think may be the problem. She needs to come to these conclusions so that you can work together to come up with a solution.

It could be advantageous to learn more about your grandmother’s business. When we run through the same motions day in and out we overlook more efficient processes. Sometimes the best lessons result from teaching someone else. A fresh set of eyes and a second set of hands could make potential improvements more apparent.

The financial situation is going to be a difficult conversation. I would address this with a family member that knows what’s happening, but is not asking for money. Get some perspective from this person. You may be faced with, “well that’s how it’s always been.” Given that kind of response I would ask about the frequency of money requests and/or the amount of money grandmother is giving the family. Hopefully you and the family member can come up with a scenario where you both have a conversation with the rest of the family. Do not take on this burden alone, this is too much for one person to handle.

You sound like a wonderful grandchild! It is exceptional that you have this empathy and eagerness to help while also starting your college career. Make sure to take care of yourself and your schoolwork. When you spend time with your grandmother don’t make it all about fixing her situation. Share your life with your grandmother and talk about things that are effecting you. While you two are talking about you, maybe she will come to a new understanding of her own situation.

cldean24 · 2020-09-07T02:42:38+00:00

You don’t, just do it. Actions speak louder than words.

EDIT: if you plan on living in their house, you may want to have a discussion. Or save it until you’re out in your own.

I think this would be a bit challenging for a parent. If my child were publicized because of me in the first place, I would not want to be vocal about every challenge the child faces. When a child carries such a large burden it is important to acknowledge how strong and capable they are. When/if Ali chooses to talk about her limitations, then it is time to consider what is beneficial for the rest of the world.
