I’m considering buying this piece to flip. From my research it looks like it could sell from $800-1100.. but I know nothing about silver so I’m skeptical. Especially since it says sterling.
It is listed as follows - “Sterling silver footed Compote by R. Wallace & Sons (433g)” less
Hello folks,
I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for attorneys who specialize in mental illness SSDI claims in Cincinnati?
Currently starting the process of applying for SSDI and want to make sure I set myself up for success since this looks like it will be a long journey.
Hello,
I don’t even know where to start with this post but basically I feel confused, burnt out, and overall just so disconnected from myself.
I had a pretty rocky childhood/ teenage years.
At 20 I started working for this company and have been working there ever since (so going on 8 years).
I worked my way out from a warehouse position to a corporate office role. I do customs data entry and get to work remotely full-time.
In my earlier 20s, I could work six days a week sometimes after 60 hours, but I would drink myself to death just to get through my work weeks.
Then when I started my corporate role I become healthier and slowly quit using substances to keep up with everyone else. I was able to buy my own home, on my own, and I just felt like I could keep going up and up from there. I got married to the love of my life, we have fur babies and everything seemed to be going in the right direction.
Queue last year and I had a mental break and I had to go inpatient in a psychiatric hospital which I haven’t done since high school. I was so overwhelmed and burnt out that I wanted to not be here anymore.
Ever since then I have been working less and less to the point now I don’t work any overtime and can only barely do my basic 40 hours a week.
Mind you I have been in therapy and on medication’s on and off for the past 15 years, but I have been consistently in therapy and on medication for the past five years. Last year I did ECT therapy, partial hospitalization, and spravato (esketamine) treatment for my major depressive episode I had.
I was off work from may-aug 2025. I ended up using all of my FMLA time and had to go back to work at that point. Since then I’ve just been kind of coasting along and Burnout comes and goes, but seems to be the new norm baseline for me
My husband and I just went on a trip to Scotland and England for two weeks, and a week before that my
Mamaw was actively dying, so I took bereavement for a week. I had so many meltdowns on the trip. We just tried to make the best of it, but it was honestly kind of a shit show… So at this point I was already off work for three weeks and when I was supposed to return to work this past Monday I decided to just start another leave of absence / short term disability claim.
Also, I will be turning 28 this year and that comes with my own pressure of wanting to become a mother. I go back-and-forth on when and if I want to. For some reason ever since my mamaw passed away two weeks ago I have this desperate urge to have a child.
My mamaw and I were not really close, she actually created a lot of turmoil and trauma in my life in my younger years so I distanced myself from her, but I have been grieving her death nonetheless.
I guess I’m just writing this to see if there’s any other women that have been through something similar or have gone through something similar in the past.
Update: my mamaw passed away peacefully about 7 hours after I made this post. I feel like now I can grieve the way I need to. Thank you for everyone’s kind words and support. Anyone going through this, I hope you know you’re not alone and that no matter the process there will be peace in the end. ❤️
My mamaw has been actively dying for about 10 days now. This is brutal and feels never ending.. I just want her to be at peace and let go, but I also understand it needs to be on her own terms.
She of course, has not had fluids or food in over a week. Her mouth is consistently open with her tongue hanging out and it is purple in color.
She has been unconscious since last week as well.
She has had a fever along with her blood pressure dropping fairly low.
It has just gone to a point where it is agonizing watching her go through this. Hospice nurses are saying she is comfortable. But I can’t help but think that she is in a torturous mental state. She had so much trauma throughout her life, well also causing a lot of pain and trauma to her children and grandchildren. We’ve all told her we forgive her love her and we’re also sorry for anything we may have done. We told her it’s OK for her to go and be with papaw (her husband) who has already crossed over.
I just can’t help but think that she is not letting go due to unresolved trauma and family issues which is truly heartbreaking.
