How are you all doing? - Weekly thread #16

Still trying to hang in there. My first child was born two months ago, and while I was away on protected leave for her, my company laid me off. Been trying to pivot to new work and skills as what I was doing wasn’t highly rewarding anyway. But despite having applied to many places now with a tailored resume and cover letter to each one, it’s been absolute silence. After nearly a month now I’m starting to crack and feel hopeless for myself and my family.

I am so close to shutting down the troubled teen industry facility that sexually abused me and drugged me to the point I have seizures as an adult.

I’ve had so many fake outs, but at this point the bitch is attempting to file restraining orders against me. If I close this facility my life means something.

Not well. My nerves are frayed. Caught a cold, last few days have been pain and misery. Missed my therapy appointment. Work is burning me out. Watching the country I live in descend into madness and self-destruction.

My body's systems- nervous, digestive, and muscular, would all kindly like a goddamned vacation from all this. And it's very lonely.

Otherwise, marvelous. 🙃

I let my sleep schedule slide and have not been able to get back into routine. Overall though I’m okay.

The other day I called the Internet company to fix some issues and pushed them to do it for free. I hate dealing with those things, so I’m pretty happy I did it.

I might quit therapy again. It’s good, but not like amazing for me. It makes me ask questions of myself but has plateaued for me.
