#i am worried she'll decend into dementia in the next decade like her mother's siblings rather than in her 90s like her mother

Ah, for my birthday this year my mother seems to think the best present is to tell me therapy and medication have done nothing so I should try an alternative pseudo-science acupressure technique for my anxiety that she learned on youtube! And when I decline we get in a fight because she doesn't want to see a therapist.

The woman whose husband is only kept alive by modern medicine, who herself is on blood pressure medication, who had a c-section or otherwise would've died in childbirth, is skeptical about the medications her daughters are on for their mental health. So fun.
