we (20F & 23M) had both found out very recently that his mom has terminal cancer and right now, she's in a coma. my partner is absolutely devastated about what to do after this since she was supporting him most of his life and after dropping out of secondary school.

my partner has autism and living alone is a HUGE challenge as he afraid of being unable to sustain all by himself. all this was because the country he lives in, promises a job for those with disabilities only to go silent for months.

i could tell that he's slowly going into depression and grief and since it's an ldr, i can't just drop by his home to help clean up the place or even help make lunch.

with all that weight on him, i can only imagine how much greater the pain is for him. so yeah, now i just wanna know what to do. thanks for reading this ❤️ sending hearts and love to any of yall who is going through this either as a fighter or a supporter!

ps. typing this while i'm sleepy so don't mind grammar errors

looking to see if anyone here knows about what's mentioned in the title because i have somewhat of a story to tell.

on the 27th of april, i had noticed my 10yo brother had formed pimples on his foreheads where he has his eczema. not one not two but several. it looks like the kinds when a boy would start hitting puberty or something. though i thought it was abit too early for that. so instead, i assumed it's the eczema on his face infected and i reminded him not to scratch his face whenever he's at school because you never know how dangerously dirty your hands can get, let alone if you're scrathing an eczema with an open wound. and we just carried on with our day not thinking much about it.

it's the 28th of april, and i wake up to finding myself feeling a terrible itch in my ENTIRE body. compared to my brother, my eczema is widespread and much severe (probably around 60% convering my body while my brother's is just 10%). as usual, i'd wake up to give my skin a check as to why it's so darn itchy and oh! a singular pimple on my arm but it's very very small. didn't really pay any mind to it and kept checking other parts. oh, there's another one on my stomach and another one on my neck. oh, there's a bigger one on my knee. ohmygosh there's an even bigger one on the other. then only to realize that's it's literally everywhere. i tried to recall back what could be the cause for this and i got reminded that hours before during my sleep, i had felt feverish. at the moment, i still feel the fever but it was not a terrible which made me realize that it could be the fever because no one in the house was sick. even my brother.

currently as i'm writing this, it's the 4th of may and i'm slowly recovering from that breakout struggle thanks to antibiotics prescribed by the hospital. both my brother and i are now doing much better without having to deal with them pimples bursting everywhere when you move. however... the last victim this virus caught was my 6yo sister and comparing her eczema with my brother's and mine, she has about 20% of it on her body. lately she's been so so quiet and it's not like her because she's quite a chatterbox. the family was concerned too but can't find an answer. i walked passed her today and oh my gosh my poor baby sister... she has the same few clusters of pimples on the back of her neck just like how mine and brother's looked. i checked the rest of her body and it's on her wrists, elbows and even thighs too. right now i feel so heartbroken cuz she's still a 6yo. a child. and i know how uncomfortable these pimples can get especially with eczema.

maybe a viral infection going through the family? the young ones don't got hand for mouth disease, no symptoms. hoping to get some sorta answer.

ps. it's later into the day and my sister's catching a cold and had just gotten a nose bleed. my mom's gonna bring her to the clinic as soon as it opens. please god help her.
