All my friends marrying American citizens and getting easy green cards. It’s tough being an independent woman, especially in the Middle East. Don’t want to seem like pitying myself but can’t help but feel a bit sad today

Green cards aren’t easy
Trump denied a whole group of ppl who have applied for their green card. Took ppl right out of the line esp if they were brown and slapped deportation on them.

Birthright citizenship is currently in the Supreme Court- decision in June/July

When was that?

It’s normal to feel sad once in a while. But know we each have our own timings for things.

Focus on what you can control. Hang in there. ✨

Thank you. I wish they didn’t constantly update me on things I’m myself actively struggling with :(

Girlfriend look at the Middle East. They are some of the most educated people on earth. Look at the missles Iran produces while being ine of the most sanctioned countries on earth. They have some of the best missiles. Not going to happen tomorrow but the middle east is changing with the events going on. A country like Iran is going to be a world power. The future is in the middle east and Asia. US is on the decline.

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though. Rather than admit the mistake and suggest a new deadline, I just kept saying I’d send it tomorrow/later/so on. And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

SM on my project stepped away on paternity leave. SM was the one who led partner discussions and most of the client meetings. We're a week from a client deadline.

As a manager, I'm stepping but incredibly stress with the amount of moving parts. I don't have a strong rapport with the partner (Neither did the SM) to be open and transparent on how stressful I'm feeling without downgrading myself.

I'm sick to the stomach and very anxious, stressed at the suddenness of the thrust.

During the pandemic I dove into my self care (found a therapist, learned I was having seizures and got on meds for that). My journey has been difficult and not pretty to watch. Somewhere along the line I feel like my fiancé saw too much. I no longer feel like romantic parters and instead feel like we have a “caretaker/patient” type relationship. I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?
