You still won’t know what you’re doing half the time, even if everyone else seems to.
I still maintain that I absolutely know what I’m doing, and I’m awesome for it. It’s this world that says I’ll get diabetes, and other health issues if I do a handstand hovering over a display of upward pointed sharp knives, eating a bowl of doreoittos as a cereal with no milk.
What? You never heard of doreoittos? It’s when you twist open an oreo, so it’s now two halfs of an oreo. Then you put dorittos in the middle, and then reassemble the cookie.
I sometimes forget I didn’t just graduate highschool, even though it was about a decade ago now. I’m also not ready to be 30. I swear I just turned 20 yesterday 😭
You’ll google “inpatient mental health treatment near me,” realize none of the options your insurance covers are all that good and you can’t really afford to take that much time off work anyway, and close the window. (Assuming you’re American, and probably need to get your meds adjusted.)
It’s very hard to get psychiatric help covered by insurance/healthcare in Europe too unfortunately.
As for getting time off work, have you looked into FMLA leave? I’m unsure what goes into eligibility but if you qualify, your employer is required to allow up to 6 months leave each year for any short term disability including mental health and burnout.
You might or might not get your full salary (assuming you are salaried) during this time, but it will keep your job secure as long as you document ongoing care with your employer’s disability provider.
My job actually offers paid leave for a certain amount of health stuff outside of our normal leave, but there genuinely aren’t any places anywhere near me that don’t kind of suck, except for private facilities that I definitely can’t afford. Not being able to afford time off is also because there are only 2 of us that do my job and my coworker is having serious health issues. Like lots of hospitalization, months off serious. I’m basically fine, I just haven’t been happy in a really long time, so the idea of intensive treatment sounds kind of nice.
Meh. Favourite blanket, favourite toy; favourite furniture, favourite tupperware. It doesn’t change that much…
Wait. Y’all just don’t buy a matching set?
We just got some nice glass tupperware on clearance. I’m excited to use it
You’ll get excited by the prospect of lining up your errands in town so that you can get 3-4 done at the same time rather than making separate trips.
And y’all wonder why ain’t nobody wanting to grow up
Guess I’m not an adult yet.
