11. May 31st. The day mom mom died. I had been her sole care taker for years. Her health was steadily declining but it was still a shock when she died. I had no idea how much I depended on her emotionally and somewhat financially. Now I have to really be an adult on my own with no support and no safety net. I've managed to keep my shit together for 8 months but I still have no idea what I'm doing and I'm terrified.

12. For Puerto Rico: Hurricane María. Category 5 devastation all over the island. A lot of my relatives and ALL of my local friends moving to other countries. 97 days since the hurricane and some people still don't have power. I'm only getting by with my cellphone data. Can't find a job, a lot of businesses closing, my father's might be on that same track. As someone who was fighting severe clinical depression+anxiety and has been suicidal for many years, this all came so out of left field that I had to toughen up for my parents and family. Hard to think about your depression when you're shoveling water out of your house to prevent flooding while other houses near you got absolutely swept away by the wind. It's been the most ridiculous end to a year I've ever had. [Edit: Grammar.]
