I hear ya Jesse. I keep thinking it will get better...my current hope is once I'm off the one project I'm on the new one will be better? But it could be frying pan into the fire situation. Eek.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Ooof, I've had two friends told (for years) they were crazy/hysterical/all-in-their-head despite manifesting physical symptoms for major chronic illness. And yes, the medical gaslighting is incredibly damaging. Gee, were they both women? You know how hysterical women get.
Yep, this this this.
And it's so frustrating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck to the kids, Laura!
I hear ya Jesse and meara. I have no idea how to prioritize what duties I have been shown how to do, so I just do whatever and occasionally someone will say something is actually urgent but mostly nothing seems to be and it's very weird.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Thanks, Steph! I took a picture of the screen with the recipe on it, so hopefully I won't lose it again.
this feels like madness after 12 years of being told it's nothing/ it's all of these things that it wasn't / it's anxiety! (it's not anxiety, jerks)
I'm so glad you're being acknowledged! I'm sorry it took so long, and so much energy, to get to this place. Fingers crossed for helpful plans that make a positive change!
Offer-ma to Little B and GF!
Due to one thing and another, I got to/had to devote a good bit of attention this week to a project I've been neglecting, due to other priorities and general not-enough-hours-in-the-day. So it's great to have moved some of it off my desk and to have been able to impose a little order on it. But now I have a pretty good handle on how Very Far Behind I am. I miss ignorance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. Sorry.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Hey, Jesse! I gave a Lyft ride to a woman from WGBH who does fundraising for Masterpiece Theatre -- wasn't that in your part of the work world for a while?

Absolutely! She was probably a major gifts officer. Did you ask her about Darlene Shiley?

I always assume Darlene Shiley is from here - one of the associated buildings of my mom's hospital is the Shiley Eye Center. Different Shiley, or does she get around?
