    Today I’m anxious, exhausted, and struggling with my self-worth. Honestly might just go to bed early and try to sleep it off

    I’m not okay. My 14 year old doggy just died in my arms on Friday. She was my little best friend, had her since she was 3 months old when we adopted her from a shelter. My old girl was tough as nails, got diabetes the beginning of 2021, gradually went blind. I took care of her and now I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m a little darker than usual on the inside now. I miss her.

      Hey friend, I know this doesn’t exactly help, but it will get better eventually. I lost my void of 19 years a few of years ago, and that was harder than losing blood family.

      If you can stomach it, (and if not, wait for the initial hurt to pass then) try to have pictures of your girl or stuff you associate with her around you. It took me close to two years to come to terms with losing my old girl, but I can finally do this without immediately bursting into tears, and I’m so much happier now that I can. It’s only the paw imprint, but it means a lot more to me.

      Take care, and I hope you’re doing well

    Stagnation on my personal goals is a blight on my mood, but I’m otherwise okay. 75% okay is pretty good for me.

    I’m really angry. My oldest son’s school sent me an email this afternoon lecturing me on his attendance and how it affects his grades and how it makes the school look bad, etc…

    We had a few weeks off earlier this year when my grandfather and my mother-in-law died (both suddenly and unexpectedly) within two weeks of each other.

    My younger son’s school offered assistance, counselling and anything else that they could think of to offer. They were very supportive. My older son’s school has just berated us for grieving and supporting each other, our friends and our family. I’m so fucking angry. They know that bereavement was the reason for his absence. Cunts.

    Trump took my job. It’s been months and I can’t get a human to look at my resume. My former colleagues are having the same experience.

    I’m doing really bad.

    How you all doing rn?

    We don’t call it ‘doing’, as it’s a little sexist. And stop asking for advice how to hit on nurses: they’re busy enough.

    Just started my first vacation week, I’ll be back in the salt mines next week, then I’ll have two weeks off after that, I normally try and get four weeks off in a row during summer (legally employers here in Sweden have to grant you four continous weeks off during summer if you have enough days) but I took an early week off this spring and want to be able to take a week off during christmas as well

    So, I am fine I guess…
