Sometimes we love the things that hurt us.
Few things piss me off more than being treated like an idiot by the person who hired me. Like, IDK what to tell you, girlypop, but if I'm an idiot, that's on you for giving me the job.

IDK who needs to hear this (I do) but countering someone's complaint with "try being me" and "that's child's play" is not the response you think it is.

Survival just feels like one big guilt trip lately and I'm so tired of feeling like a burden.
Can't stay informed without daily heartbreak.
Can't tune it out without feeling calloused.
Can't take care of myself without feeling like I'm inconveniencing my friends or my boss or my partner.

Sometimes I see a pic of myself from the end of a hangout with a friend n I just feel nothing but pity they had to look at that face for the entirety of our hangs and I want to apologize but I don't want to make them feel like they need to have the right reply so I'll just put it here instead 🥲

If anyone needs me, I will be doing the bare minimum today, and the bare minimum only.

I think one of the hardest things about working from home is that it really emphasizes who really lacks communication skills. And then somehow it's always my fault when they don't communicate well. 😺

I try to be so accommodating to others' mental health issues but having a boss with untreated ADHD feels like explaining what I'm doing to an amnesia patient on a regular basis

It's just me and my ineffective anti-anxiety meds against the world tonight, I guess.

I am getting real fucking sick of people who talk AT me instead of with me, people who make me feel bad for reaching out, and people who talk down to me.

I really thought I was doing better but I'm genuinely starting to believe that deep down, it will always be this way, and the amount of energy it takes just to feel okay will continually burn me out with no respite in sight.

Sending patronizing emails to dickhead clients that belittle what we do is my favorite thing. 💁🏻♀️

If my boss could stop expecting me to read her mind today on dumb things that don't effing matter, that would GREAT.

There is no MuthaFuckin way I just saw someone who I know for a fact still fully supports ATL telling people not to pick and choose who they cancel. Wowee. Talk about performative!

The friend I broke up with back in November is very likely going to be at a small venue (250 cap.) show I want to go to in March....do I go anyway? Ugh.

I know my brain is trying to distract from the horrors of tomorrow (and the next four years) because I'm already fighting off the "I'm not good enough" thoughts. If i could just not internalize every bad current event in the world that would be great 😀

Today was a really hard day... Maybe the worst I've felt in a while, if I'm being completely honest. I spent a good portion of it absolutely drowning in self loathing and I've now bookended my day by crying. I wish there was an off switch for my brain...Even just to have a break for one day. 😞

Men on social media who always try to turn every interaction into a private conversation make me feel like I'm on a bad date that I didn't know was a date and then they hit me with "so...should we take this back to my place?" 🙅🏻♀️

Anyone have any good tips for combatting pretty severe burnout? 🫤 (That don't include taking time off work)

Last night I went through and removed so many people from my Twitter that I just never talked to. I think it was close to 100 followers. But TBH I wish I could have removed a few more 🤣

This Motherfucker rly spent half the day trying to drag me to my boss, including calling her and screaming at her & demanding she put him on with me (about which she told me she "wouldn't subject me to that"), all over something that took me 20 min to complete. Can men just not? What a pissbaby.
