I Drove to the Beach at 3am for My Sister
Last week, I was driving down empty roads at 3am because my sister needed to see the ocean—immediately. Five minutes later, she’s in tears over a burnt Pop-Tart. Life with her moods? Never boring, always unpredictable.
I used to think a pep talk could fix everything. Turns out, it’s not that simple. Here’s what actually helps me get through those wild moments:
• Mood swings aren’t just drama—they’re real, and it’s not her fault.
• I check in, but if she’s not ready to talk, I give her space.
• Meds and treatment? That’s her call with her doctor, not mine.
• I keep a crisis plan in my bag, just in case—because you never know.
When I need a breather, I watch my favorite show or text a friend. I can’t fix everything, and that’s totally fine. Sometimes, you just pass the snacks and hold on tight.
Ever had a family adventure you never expected?
