I joined Lemmy.click because the bigger instances were having timeouts when I tried to sign up. I see those issues have been resolved now, but I like the idea of keeping other instances populated.

I'm glad you're feeling better, and that at least you didn't have to go to an unqualified clergy "therapist."
It is too bad, however, that they didn't take your mental health seriously enough to give you a break from service.
Gabapentin. Miracle drug.
Yeah, exactly. My migraine got much worse as the night wore on. I took a ton of gabapentin and Ubrelvy just to get through it.
I seem to be having trouble responding to some comments.
To answer a few points, my mother is in her 90s. She is not suffering from dementia, but she doesn't deal well with not getting her way. She throws tantrums in public. So it is easier just to go along with her wishes. One of my sisters had the police called on her for elder abuse once because my mother was throwing such a fit about how mean her daughter was to random strangers. Edit: if you've seen the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Lois's evil mother comes to visit, and they call the police on her when she refuses to leave, and she plays the pity card to the cops and almost gets Hal arrested? That's my mother.
This trip was the first time I had seen her in 2 years. I took her to the casino with the agreement that I would wait outside, but of course she pretended to be looking for me in the casino, security called me thinking she was lost, and when I went in she insisted we go eat there rather than heading back to the vacation rental. I couldn't exactly leave my elderly mother there and go back to the vacation rental without her.
I got home a week ago and don't plan on calling her for a while. I am still pissed off.
She's a narcissistic bitch, and I try to limit my exposure to her as much as possible.
Wow! Did they successfully grow up?
I became an atheist when I was about 9 years old. I didn't tell anyone in my family until I was over 50 years old. I still keep it quiet in mixed company. I am damned lucky I was able to find a partner who was raised an atheist.
I hope you're feeling better.
It's so irritating when people pull this religious BS on sick people. I was diagnosed with three forms of cancer and facing surgery and an uncertain future. The number of people who told me "I'll pray for you" was shocking. Like, I need someone to do my laundry or bring me some groceries, not sit on their ass and feel bad.
I was on Windows 10 & Edge. I'll update the OS and try again.
She has a stomach like cast iron, and wanted greasy fried food.
The weird part is, she's from Italy and is a big food snob, but when she comes to the US she wants to eat gross food.
