Oh no msbelle!
I am glad you are OK tommy!
My cafeteria is serving Fish and Chips. And it is potato chips!
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Potato chips with fish?! Abomination.

I have talked with a person! Nothing is resolved yet, but they are working on it. I cannot believe that I let this drag on so long. I hate calling places and dealing with potentially complicated stuff I feel ignorant about. See also: home repairs, car shit, dating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's funny, Sophia.
Yay person! I hear you on the avoiding dealing, msbelle.
I have adulted in the sense of finally making an appointment to see my shrink (although she really just manages my meds, we don't do any non-chemical therapy, there's probably a precise term for that). I think I was supposed to do that six months ago, but the reminders I set for myself are too easy to ignore. I wish they would let me just set the next appointment when I am done with the current one, but last time they didn't want to do that for some reason. Maybe I will ask again.

Are there psychiatrists that do therapy as well as medication management? Because I would love to find me one of those.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course it is!

Well, sure. Because that's the worst! The WORST.

Oh yeah, that's annoying.

Looks like something was just mislabeled which led to a misfiling and a permanent purgatory status until I called. Approx 12 weeks and I should have my refund.
While on hold I paid off my vacation expenses on my credit card, so at least I did something fiscally responsible. I am on a big push through summer to get the plastic paid off (again). Thank god it is not anywhere as bad as it was 10 years ago. I should maybe look for 0% balance transfer offers though, that could save me some $$ while I pay this one down.

My last meeting of the afternoon finished early, and since I was halfway to home anyway, I just came home. It's delightful.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What I've heard is that there's so much more money in managing medications that psychiatrists end up doing exclusively that.

All the psychiatrists I've ever met only do meds, really. Therapists do therapy.
Gud, I think you've gotten good advice here: get some therapy, better if both of you do, but definitely you need some tools to keep from catastrophizing quite so much, and from internalizing criticism. You are not a terrible person, you are not a failure at your life. You are allowed to make occasional mistakes, because everyone does. And you don't have to take on responsibility for other people's choices.
Today's my day off, and it's a self-care day. Took a long run, got a cute haircut, now I need to make some calls (this part isn't fun), and then I'm going to visit Dad and get a nice long massage. MMMMMMmmmmm.
