I’ve been on the Kaiser mental health waitlist since September, the Native American Healthcare one since July (No shade against them though they have fewer resources.) Mental healthcare should not take so long that crisis comes before care. #FML #Mentalhealth #USA

Came out to my family today. It went better than expected. #LGBT

@AlenaRaeRivas Many a WriMo have I had to put it off due to work. You’ll get your year. Plus it’s all about having fun and building a habit not necessarily getting to 50k.

Day one of #NaNoWriMo is over. 2000 words written but is it horribly repetitive if my main character is named Bella and she lives in Washington state. There are zero vampires. I just like the name and am from Washington so it’s easiest to write about Washington.

Best resume advice I’ve received was to delete the year I graduated from my resume.

Me: I’m a chaotic good half elf druid with a criminal background.
Party member: What did you do? Open all the cages at the zoo?

I got an interview for my dream job!

My roommate has a rule that if we can’t name five songs by a band we don’t go see them in concert. Saves us so much money making sure we only see bands we absolutely love.

Keep seeing tweets about how our healthcare system is on the verge of collapse.

It *has* collapsed.

I cant get into a podiatrist (whom I'm already established with) for a staph infected toe for 2 MONTHS.

Obv that ain't going to work.

[AJ @HinesAmandaJ]

@marissahasmagic @PanickedFoodie I feel you. I have bipolar 1 and they’re not even scheduling appointments for psychiatrists because there are none. I ran out of meds twice and my primary care is like “this is just until you can get in.” It’s been five months.

I feel really weird advertising on personal social media.

If I’m losing 25% productivity every month due to getting sick at my in-person job then it only makes sense to work remote. #remotework

‘Queerbaiting’ except it’s me dangling an iced oat milk latte off a fishing pole

[AJ @HinesAmandaJ]

I pay for my own health insurance and recently the company changed and my old doctor isn’t covered. The waitlist for an approved doctor is several months long and I’m about to run out of my daily meds waiting for a new doctor. This is a living nightmare.

I’ve decided cruise ships are just floating infomercials that take you from place to place. #vacation #thoughts

Flight delays have me stuck in San Francisco. #traveling

In 24 hours I’ll be on a plane which is making the last three hours of work before my trip absolute agony. I just want to go home and pack.

@megan_jessop Life as an overeducated millennial. Basically finding work, work culture, and mental health. I talk about my experiences with bipolar disorder in the workplace in my first episode and what I wish I hadn’t done.

[AJ @HinesAmandaJ]

Wrote my podcast episode outline, have my recording “studio” set up, recorded, and am going to be releasing my first #podcast episode tonight. Probably not my best editing but I’m still learning.
