    Girl... you were at a friend's birthday party this weekend at the bowling alley without masks, just had Thanksgiving with your family from different households without masks, hosted your SIL's bridal shower without masks, and continuously get facials and other salon services as per usual. Don't act like you're locked up in your house because everything that you chose share shows that you're living life as if there is no pandemic.

    The “hand flapping” may be something called stimming. Stimming is basically a self regulatory behavior. Kind of like pacing or bouncing a leg when nervous. Stimming is common in ASD, specially with repetitive hand movements, but not necessarily indicative. Maybe chart when he does it most and see if there’s a pattern and it might be worth mentioning to a pediatrician. For example, if it is happening during mealtimes it might be a way he’s expressing/regulating how excited he is. If it’s random and not linked to certain moods/events it may just be random gestures. I’m an SLP and worked with peds!

      When our oldest was a baby (10 yrs ago) I started to become aware of other babies flapping their hands. at church or get togethers and most of the time it startled our son when they sat next to him so I started looking into what and why this was happening and autism popped up. The same children were given extremely processed foods and juice boxes all day long as babies. So I wondered if that mimicked signs of autism. Everyone is in 4th grade now and beyond thriving.... just kinda went with my theory that food does affect you no matter what age.

    Hey Meg, maybe you should reconsider adding this video. There are people who are watching you who are first responders, ICU nurses, who lost their jobs due to pandemic, gave birth without their husband, haven’t seen their family in months etc. You see your family, go to places, throw a bridal shower, go for photo shoots, shopping etc... I think you should get some perspective and not complain publicly about your situation during the pandemic.

    Just a bit of advice, you say your anxiety is worse and that you are using oils. Yet if that still isn’t helping you need to get some medication to help.
    Not trying to judge it just seems like your pining all your hopes that the oils will help. Other natural options are going for a walk or exercising. They’d do wonders for your mental health.
    Also everyone is struggling right now but please don’t complain about new rules coming in when you haven’t followed any previous rules by going to parties and mixing with other households putting more people at risk.
    You are lucky to have a job where you choose your own hours and can work from home. Maybe put more focus into work and your son to distract you from your anxiety until you decide how best to manage it

    Kaden is a blessing and has so many strengths. Meg I would encourage you to speak to your child's pediatrician about any questions or concerns you have with his growth, development, or behaviors. There could be a few different reasons for his stimming (repetitive movements) and there are qualified trained professionals that can complete and assessment on him (early childhood screenings can be done as early as 2mos). There are two useful tools called Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE2) that can be completed by primary caregivers, physicians, teachers, family service worker/educator etc. But it is important to note that the screening questionnaire should only be scored and interpreted by individuals trained to know what the outcomes indicate and they will take the additional steps next (specifically making a referral for additional testing by certified developmental specialist) to assist the caregiver and child . Also you can reach out to local nonprofits, health department and children's hospital etc. they typically have home based and out-patients services were you can have your son screened, tested, and they can answer your questions and provide you with developmental play activities if no further services are needed (ex. physical or occupational therapy).
    As far as that pandemic is concerned most city or states that have shelter in place orders, curfews, or shutdowns is because there is an increase in the Covid-19 cases and/or they have limited hospital beds and they are trying to prevent increased hospitalizations and deaths. I know people that have complained about the shutdowns, yet they have continued to gather and travel with groups of people outside of their household. I was told I had a false negative Covid-19 test back in April when I was still stick from March (and I was eventually found out that two of my colleagues had Covid-19 and the leadership only told me and others because they believe they had infected us) and advocated for myself to be tested since I worked at a school and I was still sick after 14 day quarantine... I lost my job, and several months later I had issues with walking, and I had to have spine surgery. Although there are things that I could be upset about I choose to be thankful and to dwell on my blessings. I am thankful for my relationship with G-d because He has brought me through several difficult situations this year, I am grateful to be alive, my physical therapist is amazing and she is helping me get stronger daily, and though my dreams/goals are delayed, I know each day that I am alive and well I'm able to inch closer to achieving them. I will extend grace and continue to pray for each individual whether I agree with their behavior/stance regarding the pandemic, because I know but for the grace of G-d, there go I!

    Only you can help yourself. Only you can go sign up for therapy, medication, or whatever you need. Remember though the longer you suffer so does your family. You have a kid so if you’re not feeling yourself try something. There is nothing wrong with medication there’s a lot of drugs that don’t cause weight gain. The weight gain is mainly due to slowing your metabolism it’s not just going to put it on right away. Your fans care about you and want you to seek help. However, you need to do it for YOU. Don’t do it for content, views, or sympathy if that’s the reason you won’t stick with it.

    I recently started Zoloft and Lamictal for OCD and anxiety, and I can promise you that the relief I feel is worth every pound I’ve gained. Technically these medications are weight neutral, so it’s simply because I feel better causing me to have more of an appetite. As long as you exercise and eat right it shouldn’t be a big deal. Also if you’re suffering with depression and anxiety, medication is much more important than you gaining a few pounds!
