Grandmother on a vent in the hospital with Covid (delta). Unvaccinated. Not looking good. Also my mom has some sort of PTSD/mental health issue (basically thinks poison ivy is in the house and has lots of irrational triggers) that’s impacting her daily life and takes over her entire day (hard time showering, wants to cut off her hair, sell the house, difficulty helping lil bros in school, cleans everything. She started anxiety meds. doesn’t listen to doctors or anyone. refuses to seek pro help.

She’s a broke record and it turns into this endless cycle. It’s a huge strain on the family. I’m admittedly having a hard time coping even though I work out every day and/or play basketball. Start a new job soon. Just overwhelmed with it all and how to deal with it all, particularly the ptsd/mental health issue. That’s been going on for 4-5 months and it comes in waves, but never more than 2 good days at a time.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
