As someone who’s trying to figure out how to recover from some pretty bad burnout while avoiding becoming homeless in the process, I appreciate this.
I have been loud in my first few pride months, but im slowly figuring out how I can “fix” my cup and fill it for me before I start pouring back out again.
My biggest struggle is overcoming my shame tbh It’s a big mental block for me on most days, but I’m glad to see this art out here
This is too real for me lol
My struggle is that I’ve sorta fallen out of my current friends group since I’ve found myself increasingly contradicting myself in order to make myself “fit in”
I’ve since been learning to be myself more and have at least 2 friends I keep in touch, but oof do I struggle to stay in regular contact.
Then there’s my desire to make friends that share similar interests and the motivation to go through with socializing is just not there 😅
I’ve held an interview with one of my former school bullies from highschool for a position under my team. I only had a suspicion when I came across the resume, but I just knew it was him when I saw his face on cam.
It was nice seeing him fumble over the curveball technical questions that I threw at him, and told HR that he wasn’t only a poor fit, but not to even send a follow up response l either.
I feel that in my soul as someone that has gone undiagnosed as a child but somehow everyone else picked up on it
I’m in a similar boat, I’m kinda hopeful now that I have enough money saved up to see someone, hopefully I’ll get some validation and a possible explanation on what’s “wrong” and maybe ideas on how I can right myself without sacrificing myself at the same time
Just gotta swap lead poisoning drinking water with checks notes Lead poisoning in drinking water, the air in the form of emissions and microplastics!
(I know lead was dropped from most gasoline in the 90s, but the effects linger. Also in some places there’s exemptions where small planes can use leaded gas to this day)
Furry sysadmin and trans girl reporting here lol
That’s how it goes for me in most games lmao
That’s awesome .
Also the solution thinking sounds pretty deep- but then again I talk to the characters on the screen as if they can hear me xD
But that sorta analysis prolly has a better chance of being more accurate in predicting how the episode is gonna end right
Also fair- I get a lil loud and bouncy when pinkie shows up- it’s always exciting when the confetti cannon comes out :>
That looks nice n cozy :3
I relate rlly hard w/ pinkie, her vibes are amazing and has been helping me re-explore the fun side of me that I had to hide a long time ago
This show is really good btw, and watching with Blahaj must be fun too!
2 real
Then when there is energy to respond, there’s like 5-10 messages to respond to, sometimes from the same person and depending on the day it can feel overwhelming enough to either leave them on read or only respond back to 1-2 messages
I’ve been seeking help on-and-off again for the last 5 years and it’s been the following experience for me.
Years ago, on-and off again Me: seeks help, search for therapist on a budget Prospective therapist: I’m sorry but your case seems complex and requires therapist+ premium starting at $250/hr with weekly sessions starting tomorrow Me: has very little money, insurance only covers $500/year ….
Now Me: seeks help now that there’s money saved up Therapy practices near me: now it’s $270/hr and we’ll call you in 6-10 months to schedule your first consultation appointment
Good fun.
I feel attacked as someone working in IT
Good advice that I’ve yet to follow
Thank you kindly- things are slowly getting better for me, and very soon I’ll be able to afford to get help from qualified professionals.
I’m just going one day at a time, which is all that matters to me
