Really can’t do it today Fish. Have been crying nonstop from stress since last night. Really don’t see a point in being here. Nothing to look forward to.

Hey! Please shut down all work rn. Work is not your life. Focus on something you love. Do you like to read? Do you like to shop? Whatever you like, do it. Just remember this is just a blip in your overall life and in 10 years, you will be stronger for dealing with it

I opened up to a fellow team mate and asked her how she handled her stress and disengagement. It was incredibly helpful and healing to be able to just say it out loud and be reminded I was not alone. She has been sending me encouragement regularly and it has made a huge difference. This is the thing many of us struggle with.... no shame in talking about it. 🌈

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends.

It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
