If I could tell my younger self anything, I would tell her to please eat. The health issues I am having now are not worth all the trouble I went through.
@mimsy808 No I hear it all the time and it is SO overwhelming. Working at Starbucks was a nightmare because there were so many sounds coming from the fridges and dishwasher and percolator and register. It’s constant.
If you’re the driver that yelled at me for taking too long crossing at the pedestrian crossing, I just have one question: do you really think I would care if you hit me with your car a little bit?
I have this fear that my coworkers think I’m lying when I tell them things I have experienced but you guys I promise it is all true, I just stay being in the absolute worst place at the worst time
On this episode of Red Flags in Human Services: I’m thinking about the time I reached out to a community development firm and asked if they had an MSW on site I could shadow and they said, verbatim, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Whenever I have to go to the doctor and feel myself getting anxious, I remind myself that doctors did not take breast cancer seriously until men started getting it. And then I’m not so anxious. And much more empowered to advocate for myself. And bully the doctor a little bit.
I don’t care how well-intentioned you think you’re being. If you know someone is grieving and you say some bs about “so glad they’re with our creator now” you’re getting blocked and you will be hearing about yourself through the grapevine. It’s not the comfort you think it is.
We really do let America get away with too damn much. 7 rounds of interviews for a job? 1st,last,1.5 security deposit plus $500 pet fee, $300 cleaning fee? Masters degree for 20k salary? I wish we could just all strike at the same time
