Happy Friday! Relaxing and trying to keep cool!

I've got an end of summer cookout to go to on Monday, and not real plans beyond that. There's some stuff I want to do around my apartment, organizing and cleaning, but I'll be honest. I'll be shocked if I get much of it done. I just feel like this summer has exhausted me and I need some time to just sit and do not much of anything.

I feel the exact same way. This summer took everything I had out of me.

I don't really have any weekend plans OP. I have been burning the candle at both ends and am just so exhausted. I am planning to spend my weekend relaxing and catching up on some chores around the house. My house is honestly a huge mess with me running in and out all week.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
