You need to ask her and hope she will tell you. It might be that she's just stressed because of college. Wait until a good time comes along and ask how she's doing. Moms are at the top, usually, of a child's list of people to talk to about what's going on. Many hugs and prayers for the 2 of you.

Sounds like the symptoms of depression, anxiety and insomnia.

Sounds like she's certainly struggling ... I'd suggest a GP appt if she'll agree ... I hope she's okay tbh x

That is such a good question! And, for me, I don't know. She has been working so much because of her husband's work comp injury and I guess they're not paying the work comp wage, which they should be doing, and she always just says that the lawyers are taking their time, but wth is taking SO LONG???? it has probably been a year, or close to it. She doesn't talk to me, just says it's in the lawyer's hands... What am i supposed to believe?? And, she avoids me like the plague, which before she wouldn't. I pray for her all the time, and she's 36 now, I can't be the Mom I was when she was 10. it's her life, I have as much business in it as she will let me have. God bless her to the moon and back, with every blessing there could be, at her fingertips. I pass on wisdom from my experiences, by good posts on facebook and ones, of many, of my own. That's all I can do. And, i don't feel it is enough. Crying so much!!

I agree with Kenneth I say sit down and talk to her. Ask what she's feeling and possibly offer up some key words with the definitons. It may take a few try before she's comfortable but if she gets that it's safe to talk about it she will. I would have loved it if my parents made me feel safe.
