My therapist called me charismatic and I cried about being so toxic that I was afraid to hurt my family because of my selfishness. Then immediately cried harder and recounted the most painful incident in the last 2 years for me - one I did something I am ashamed of, and he said I was being too hard on myself. Then apologized to my therapist for going over time by 4 minutes. Finally feel better.

Therapy in consulting at end of week - are they only for me? Or can people relate to this?

Like most every teacher in the country, I am stressed out, exhausted, and barely functioning by the weekend. I do school work in the evenings and on weekends and I'm still miles behind. Have you taken sick or personal days this year for your own health? How do you do that and not feel guilty? I know I need the time off but feel bad about it.

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?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I have never used the technology they’re leveraging, nor embellished my resumé in any way to mislead them into believing I had.
