Cry, but also think if it’s something temporary (project, team, etc.) or if you’d like a change in your life. If you ever want to vent/talk, my burner is afishwholistens@gmail.com

Yeah. I feel you. You need lots of sleep, lots of water, vitamin D and lots of reflection. I feel infinitely worse when I don't sleep enough, and my sleep requirements increase in the winter

I have to support my family financially. Usually my mom cooks for the family so groceries only cost $1200/month. However, my mom is abroad for 2 months so it’s just my siblings and they can’t cook so they’ve been using my card for doordash. I think there are days when they spend $100+/day. It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…
