Today I did something for me
The past year and a half has really taken a toll on me psychologically. With everything that's been going on I haven't felt like myself.
No one tells you how hard it is to deal with stepkids and all their baggage. No one tells you how hard it is to have an SO that is failing at parenting.

I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety and stress and even bouts of depression.
I realized that I finally needed to get help for this and my doctor prescribed me medicine today.

I'll consider therapy. Right now I want to see if the medication helps like it's supposed to.
Your sister has been dealing with it for 10 years, good Lord. I'm sorry to hear that.
My SO has been helpful. He told me he would be there for me and has been helping me more with the baby and around the house.
