have been worse than usual. She’s utilizing messenger during this recent crisis and is sending a constant stream of paranoia and gibberish. I’ve watched her FB friends dwindle from 100s to a dozen and people opt out of the conversation. She is hospitalized now and presumably safe. I keep hanging in
