Hey! Sorry you’re having a bad day. Don’t forget to eat dinner and give yourself some time to decompress. Hope tomorrow is better

Turn on a sad movie, have some wine, and lean into it. It’s so cleansing. Like hitting a “reset” button after a particularly hard day.

PS: sorry you’re having a tough one, OP. I hope things look up for you soon.

You’re absolutely not alone, friend. I feel for you. Keep hanging in there and making sure you’re taking care of yourself!

Remember that self care can look like so many things, from meditating to journaling to going on a walk to making sure you have microwave meal in the freezer so you don’t have to cook dinner. ❤️

Future in laws are being jerks about changing wedding plans due to the pandemic (it's almost as if they *want* to put their aging family and friends at risk)

So I would absolutely be on board with a cry session - but only if you don't judge the empty pack of Oreos on my coffee table and the empty bottle of wine I'm considering chugging

I’m definitely on board for a cry sesh!

In the words of the wise and beloved philosopher: "that's gonna be a no from me, dawg."

Folks, I should clarify that I am doing fine and not sad for any reason. Infact I just don’t know how to react to things happening these days ranging from no motivation to work hard, decreasing interest in entertainment (I mean how much can you possibly watch Netflix etc..), being paranoid due to covid situation......... (list is quite long). Having said all that I think I have gone through all the emotions in the past 5/6 months (fear, anxiety, stress....) and the only one remaining is crying. So that’s why I proposed to have this cry session. Maybe it will help you out, I don’t know but worth a try. So how do we do this anonymously? Ideas 💡

Op is female, ryt?
