This has been one of my worst mental weeks in a loooong time. I try to protect & shield the kids from that - not because #mentalhealth struggles are shameful, but in the hopes that they're not negatively affected by it - but when you spend ~22 hours of the day, 5 days of the week, not moving from the couch, sleeping most of it, and uncontrollably weeping off & on over anything and everything, including a 10-minute bawling session when Daniel Tiger's blue fish died, they're bound to notice at some point... I've been doing better, today, and at one point Eddie banned me from the living room so he could build something. When he let me came back out later, this is what I saw. Thank you, #family, for loving me, eeeeeven though I'm basically insane. 🙏🏻🖤❤🧡💛💚💙 #mathmanipulatives #nowformorethanjustmath
