Kid: What's the point? You can just use a period.
Me: You can also pound a screw in with a hammer. Doesn't mean it's the right way.

So 16 days ago I got strep. I found out it was strep 10 days ago, when it started becoming pneumonia. 5 days ago I started a second antibiotic and was starting to feel better until today. Fevel shot up and cough came back with a vengeance. May have caught a 3rd thing.

Tired and still sick af, but it's easier to be at work than to get a sub and write plans or get behind schedule. Happy Friday-eve. Still fighting. Let's win.

Pro tip:

Talking openly about mental health struggles or thoughts of self-harm is not inherently manipulative or toxic.

Telling someone you'll harm yourself if they do/don't do something (e.g., break up with you) *is* manipulative.

Constant trauma dumping w/out consent of the listener *is* toxic.

"Why are you always posting online instead of making friends in person?!"

Because, Linda, online it's socially acceptable for me to nope out of idiotic conversations, block people, reply at my own pace, and leave the moment I feel overstimulated or icky vibe shifts.
