I spoke to my boss and she understands and is supportive of me taking a leave. I think all that's left to do is for me to call the emergency psych number and hope for the best. I'm exhausted, I was too paranoid to leave work early after talking to my boss, and I don't know why. But I think that was some progress.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That's definitely some progress. Good, and good on her for being supportive.

Allyson, all I can wish you is the best and hope you get the support you need. And I'm really happy you had the wherewithal to do this, because that is epic against what bureaucracy you've faced.
I haven't even managed to get a PCP. In well over a decade. So.

Because books.
It's always one step at a time, Allyson. I'm glad you're getting support from work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some days I am extra happy to work from home periodically, because that breaks momentum. Uh, bad momentum.
Watching Grey's--I am always expecting shows to follow the law of conservation of fortunes, therefore implying the millionaires won't be that way for any meaningful time?
Tip of the hat to pop culture references old and new, though.

Oh, oh, I forgot to watch Grey's last week. It was supposed to have music on it from my favorite band. Shoot.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So glad to hear that your boss is being supportive, Allyson. And we are all in your corner as well.
Vibing for good work stuff for msbelle, Consuela, Dana and DH, and anyone else who needs it right now.
And ita? Your coworker scares me.
