There are also some (mild) SPOILERS for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
I recently found myself re-reading Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
[Warning: this post discusses mental health problems and grief]
Look, I've been through some stuff lately, and it's definitely affected me.
My mental health has not been good for the last 10+ years, and now, after losing my mother in February... my head has given me a whole bunch of Very Bad Days lately.
I can't bring myself to go into details, but... it was hell. As a family, we've been through absolute hell since October 2024.
[Content Warning: brief references to death, cancer, grief, and mental health issues.]
For those who don't know, my mother passed away from cancer in February.
Things were pretty awful, generally, at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.
