Another year.
Still hasn't got easier.
Probably won't for a long time.
Work declined me having this as my personal day so they gotta deal with my sleep-deprived, depressed and grieving self.

Things retail workers are probably fuelled by at this time of year:
1. Caffeine
2. Thoughts and prayers
3. Utter loathing for the commercialisation of a religious holiday

Pokémon Legends ZA has officially taken over my brain.
It's been a couple of days since I finished a thousand damn battles to get the shiny charm and now I'm chomping at the bit for the DLC.
Except I'm working that day so I'll be going feral at work for six hours first

TW: mental health, hormones?
Hormones suck.
Why? Because I had a breakdown one hour into my shift and ended up coming home where I continued to sob like an idiot until I gave myself a splitting headache.
I've not had a breakdown like this in at least a year.

Waking up from a weird work-related dream and my first thought was "wait we haven't sorted Christmas hours yet"
And it taking a solid minute to realise it's the middle of July.

I caved and opened the birthday present I bought myself.

Is it just me but if I'm asked to do something that is literally part of my job (whether I like it or not) I just... Go and do it? Without complaining or making excuses to not do it?
Like this is literally what you're being paid to do. It is your job.

First day back:
Gets thrown in the deep end and basically left to run the front end of the store for four hours with barely any staff and very little support from management.
I genuinely thought I'd left the stress behind, calmed down and chilled to a better mental state but nope.
