One job benefit I didn't know I'd get at the (Catholic-based) assisted living job was a team of little old ladies praying for me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
> $10 cards is CRAZY!
You're not wrong, but sometimes I am that crazy. I have on occasion shelled out $10/card for some of these: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those at least seem like a lot of work!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
My mental health has been shit for a week, and the earliest psychiatry appointment I can get is the first week of December.
I hate mental health care in this country so much.
(hay antidepressants please kick back in thx)
Hec, thanks for the laugh that your story provided. I needed that. I figure you shared the story so you don't mind people laughing at your pain.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Boo, Jesse
Congrats, Theo, I guess? Can't hurt, anyway.
Those are nifty, dcp.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I figure you shared the story so you don't mind people laughing at your pain.
That is 100% correct. I am paying forward the amusement I derived from Erin's ass-impaling couch launch.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
{{{Sophia}}} It sounds like you're making amazing progress. I'm sorry it's so overwhelming and I wish one, or some, or many of us lived closer and could actually help instead of just throwing money from afar.
Re anxiety: I treat mine as if it were a fretful child. I listen to it and validate its feelings but remind it that it's not the grown-up in charge and it can trust me to take care of it and handle the situation. My current therapist helped me work this out, and it doesn't always work, but it works a lot better than anything used to.

THat sounds like an excellent approach, JZ.
BTW, I met my new neighbor across the street when I got home from work and she seems nice so maybe I will be less apprehensive about being seen in my front yard in the future? Could happen.

I...don't understand being afraid of neighbors seeing you. I like seeing my neighbors? But I am very lazy about taking out the trash for no good reason.
I laughed at Hecs story, and yay Jesse making more money, but I can't imagine paying $10 for holiday cards, and hugs to Flea because that sounds rough. My BFF got to town this morning and we went for a long walk in lovely weather and then I had my local friends over for dinner and it was nice. This weekend should be great.
