How exactly would I go about telling my parents I want to book a new flight 2 days earlier than my original one, without a refund, because I am slowly but surely losing my mind and don’t know if I can last the full length of my trip?

I got some news today, and all I wanted was to be upset and angry, but everyone I talked to anyone about it all they would say is “let it go.” Obviously I will, I’m a pushover, but can’t a bitch be mad?!

I’m pretty sure I got approved for an apartment! Back to living on my own for the first time since 2019. Pants will soon be optional

Apparently my university isn’t allowing anyone living outside of the city to take on any TA jobs, even if it’s a fully virtual class. So now I have to find some other source of work, or just not go back to the PhD. Fun times 🙃

My therapist basically told me to make dumb decisions today, but I don’t know if she’s ready to handle the consequences.

I’m probably restarting my PhD in January, but I’m feeling so unmotivated for it because I’ve been away from academia for so long that it feels kind of masturbatory, so I’m also sending out applications for jobs in other areas. So that’s where I’m at.

For reference, I’m going in ready to just let out all the emotions. Fuck his list.
I’m meeting up with my ex tomorrow, and he sent me an itemized list of things he wants to figure out what we’re doing with. Like a fucking business transaction.

I don’t mean to complain because things are on a general upward trend right now, but I honestly just feel so emotionally drained. Healing is exhausting.
