Social work- I think social workers can be overly idealistic and green when new. With experience we learn the harsh realities of domestic violence, parental abuse, drug addiction, poverty, cutting, psychopathology/ and any and all struggles children/ ppl have. Doesn’t take long until you see with eyes open what we’re up against in terms of lack of resources available to the most marginalized ppl. I now see each intervention (big or small) as a stepping stone to something better- and nothing else but that.

Social media, specifically organic social. A lot of people think it is just posting pretty pictures and funny videos… far from it.

Yesterday I officially got diagnosed with ADHD and MDD. I knew that I was feeling depressed but somehow getting diagnosed made me feel worse. I feel like I am a big failure. I had a mental breakdown yesterday night. This morning I woke up and cried for an hour at least. I had worse times in my life but this somehow feels like a trap I will never be able to escape. I’m so overwhelmed and lonely. Have no friends or family in the US. Don’t know what to do.
