New church experience unlocked: my bishop is harassing me and my husband because I am chronically ill and majorly struggle to attend church meetings! He doesn’t seem to care that I have explained I have the life quality of someone with end stage renal disease 🥰

I turned on Jack Black’s “Peaches” in the car today and turned it all the way up while singing it very aggressively and my husband stared at me like he’d lost the will to live

I have a client who BEYOND stresses me out due to recent events and they scheduled an emergency session for tomorrow and now I don’t wanna go to work 😅
(Note: I’m working through this with my clinical supervisor and my personal counselor, not just ignoring the problem, lol)

I know I’m not doing well when I start panicking when I open a book from Libby because I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it in the days left on the rental… like, I can literally just renew it or put it on hold again? It’s fine???

Thinking about the fact that I had to train my dad to say “I love you, too” and how that explains a LOT

Today my dentist asked me if I have a connective tissue disorder.
MY DENTIST.
My dentist figured it out just from looking at my gums and my doctors—who get much more than that—took ELEVEN FUCKING YEARS.
Incredible.

Fun fact: my connective tissue surrounding my bladder has become really weak resulting in a tipped bladder, making me feel like I have a UTI all the time and giving the urinary continence level of a mother of 4 🙃

I got yelled at by the parent of a client for enforcing our late cancel fee, today. They’re mad because “they’re a minor, they didn’t understand!” But, like, the parents signed the agreement. They knew 🙃

Nobody told me a miscarriage could take up to 2 weeks. It’s only day 2 and I am straight up not having a good time

I got a positive pregnancy test 2 days ago.
I #miscarried today.
It’s technically a #chemicalpregnancy so I just have to wait it out. I didn’t even want to be pregnant, but this is SO HARD. The physical and emotional pain are really something 😕

Somehow I convince myself I am not allergic to coconut every 6 months or so only to be RUDELY awakened by the fact that I am when I try a sip of someone’s yummy smoothie or boba drink ☹️

I am lying on the floor panicking because I cannot give myself this shot.
You’d think that when your entire life is blood draws, IVs, and shots you’d be used to it, but having to give it to yourself really changes the game 🙃

It was worse! I dissociated so hard my husband couldn’t get my attention :) I had to use EMDR to process it in therapy :)
I just spent an hour panicking and occasionally crying as I tried to convince myself to self-administer my #Xolair shot.
It was over in 5 seconds. It stopped hurting within 30 seconds. I wasted a whole hour anticipating 35 seconds of pain.
Will I still panic next time? Probably.

Looking to connect with other #therapists who are struggling with the new Tr*mp administration. I live in a VERY rural area and its hard to find people to share with and find support in

I really don’t know why the MAGA folks are so upset they moved the inauguration indoors. Like, it’s the capitol building you guys know how to get in.

#southeasternidaho / #canadian / #coldweather friends: any advice for how to keep my skin from cracking and bleeding when we’re in the negatives??? I thought wearing gloves outdoors would be enough but it absolutely isn’t. TIA.

I think it is important for freedom of assembly to apply to the places where people assemble.
I miss the days when people didn't consider having a social media account a first amendment right. Funny how attitudes changed when people discovered they could monetize these things innit
