Finally seeing a doctor

Last night was awful. I found out my aunt and her husband have covid. She's in her 70's and a long time smoker, so I'm very worried about how well she'll make it through this. Also, my landlord below me used paint or something awful and didn't say anything, knowing I have a bird and such fumes could kill her. They used polyurethane on the floors prior to moving in and I had to take her elsewhere for a few days. I had to emergency run her out of the house yesterday because of this. I'm very grateful I have anywhere to take her, but I don't know why they didn't communicate. And when texted about if they're doing more, got no response. I wound up taking a long drive last night to scream. I'm just so past the end of my rope every single day.

On a different note, I have a doctor appointment today to get a referral to see a mental health professional. I'm so very nervous, as I've never had great luck with such things. I guess at least I'm trying. We'll see how it goes today. I feel like shit and maybe that's a good thing for such an appointment.

Love to all of you out there today. It's been an extra hard year for everyone with mental health issues. I send you all hugs and love. 💜

Sorry to hear what you went through. Please stress that they need to inform you about using chemicals in the building. People don’t take this seriously.

Thank you. They were told before, but I guess it doesn't matter to them. They even said it wasn't bothering them last night. I will have to summon the courage to tell them again.

It’s due to their ignorance. Birds are very sensitive. Maybe send them an informational document. You have to keep kicking up a fuss, don’t feel bad about it. Good luck!
