askye, those types of calls are super challenging even when you're in the best health. No wonder you are feeling overwhelmed by it. Sending you love and strength.

And anybody telling anybody else that there's nothing to be upset about should be slapped. Your feelings are your feelings. You'd think in her line of work they'd at least have given her better scripts to work from, even if they can't train better empathy.

askye, you are making decisions to take care of yourself. Tell the therapists that you feel like you're doing everything wrong, and see what they say. Does the place where you're having your therapy have a social worker who could help you with the insurance/disability calls?

Have you considered working part-time? While I know your anxieties are a problem there, it's also a place where you've been really successful and they obviously value you.

There's a case worker at the outpatient but they don't get involved with that and I can't be in contact with my regular therapist.

I do see my case manager on Thursday and I can ask although I could probably ask to see my case manager before that.

As for working part time, the idea is that I'll go back to work part time while I'm doign the outpatient therapy so the other thing I have to tackle is questions about partial leave, which are an option but I don't understand and would have to ask the work contact person - who is the one I can't understand. Hopefully she'll email me and I can ask questions about that.

But last week 3 out of the four days I was in a horrible mood after therapy and I don't think I can do work and therapy on the same day. Don't know what to do.

People being stupid on Facebook make me wanna holler. Yes, RW dude, the fact of Al Sharpton's alleged tax case(which on one hand does not surprise me, and on the other, I give less than zero fucks about) totally negates 300 hundred years of subhuman treatment...what was I thinking? White privilege and the privileges of money and fame can totally co-exist.When *I* am tired of these stupid discussions, sometimes I'm surprised that Melissa Harris-Perry doesn't have a drinking problem. But that's because tokenism is how they think about everything...finding the one of any group who will cheerfully give their rights away.(After Sanders makes up his mind, I'm getting off Facebook...too much stupid for the fun involved, too many smug married with their damn baby pictures, and the truth is, my life is nothing to document, ever. "Wow, who knew? I moved some paragraphs around again for the ninety-seventh day in a row." I really did think I'd have some news once, but it never happened.

My relationship with FB is one that requires separate vacations from time to time. I have to miss it for a while in order to appreciate it again. Although one of these times I may find a new love and never come back.

I made it to outpatient again. Saw the pic person who had some interesting suggestions for med management. Forgot to take klonopin and I can tell. As soon as I get home I'm takin some.

askye, good for you for sticking with it!

Good for you, askye.

I have bought shoes from 6pm.com. What brave new world, that has such websites in it.
