I'm sorry, Epic. That's sad news, howsoever expected.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You are in my thoughts, Epic, along with your mom.
I will echo that the buffista hive mind can be of great comfort in this type of situation.

Our wings are not tired.
Love and wishes for strength and peace, Epic. Please seek comfort here as so many of us have gone down this path. It is a huge rollercoaster ride and not so much a gentle path.
Part that is going to be exploring going off medication or seriously reducing it.
It makes sense if the treatment you are getting isn't working to try something else. I hope this is a more successful process for you.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Epic. I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Please come here to vent or cry or seek distraction when you need to.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hugs to you, Epic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I so sorry, Epic.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so very sorry, Epic. I wish we lived closer and could give you the support you need in person, but we're at least here if not right there. It's so very hard. I am so sorry.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
In her 3 days of life ltc has learned that if she makes sucking motions with her lips and fusses Mommy or Daddy will pick her up and tend to her. This led to no sleep for us last night when she didn't actually want to eat but just wanted to be cuddled. Eventually the nice nurse took her for a couple of hours so we could sleep. As soon as she was out of our room, she slept and didn't make any attempt to get anyone to pick her up or act in any way like she needed to be fed.
