Suzi, I'm so glad today is better.

Hugs to all who need/want them.

It's been A Few Days. Between the "me too" posts (which are good! Just difficult for me to process, and I can't bear the thought of chiming in and doing one more piece of emotional labor), and work schedule bullshit, and Peanut being Very Much a Toddler, and having to deal with a creepy co-worker that isn't creepy enough for male managers to understand/notice, and our lack of social life, and possibly losing my insurance, and and and. Which isn't even taking into account everything else going on out in the world.

I need to go to a psychologist, I know this, but when I'm going to be able to schedule it and whether or not I could make regular appointments seems like an insurmountable barrier.

Juliana, that's a lot. I'm sorry. I hear you on toddlerhood.

Getting mental health help needs to be easier. Like you press a button and someone calls to make a home visit appointment. Or drive through therapy. Or a magic, here, try this therapist based on your facebook posts (personality matching). I don't know - it is just has so much on the person who is struggling and living in the land of not-coping.

What Suzi said. Someone make that happen.

Right? You'd think Kaiser is big enough that they could provide personality matching - like, "Here are the personality types of your current medical professionals. Which one makes you the most comfortable?" And then match you from there. And then that office can call you and set everything up. And they'd provide daycare at the office. Then, I could go.

That really should happen.

That would be amazing. I've still never been to therapy, and I think half the reason is the difficulty of making appointments and meeting someone and deciding if you like them...(the other half being money, time, and sometimes not feeling like I need it)

I have therapy tomorrow. My therapist rocks and I've been freaking out about insurance and losing access to him.

Today I've gone through a rollercoaster but every day seems like that. Went to my first day at Belks and I really liked it. It's less money but it seems like there maybe a future. And they have some limited benefits for part time people not health insurance bit 401k and dental and things like that.

One thing that surprised me about Belks is their restroom/changing room policy for trans/non binary customers and employees. Which is people have the right to use the restroom/changing room that matches their gender identity and i can't remember the whole thing about the restroom but for changing rooms it says if customers are upset or object to using a changing room because of another person's gender presentation they can be shown alternative changing room and/or it should be explained they can always purchase clothes, try them on at home, and return what doesn't fit.

Also when a customer asks about restroom or changing room locations it says to give locations of both men's and women's unless specifically asked about men's or women's and not to assume someone's gender based on their appearance .

Considering this is a chain based in the south east and prices itself on being the place for Southern women to shop I was pleasantly surprised. The information also explained the difference between gender identity and gender expression. It probably could have been better but it was cool to see.
