You don't need validation from me (some rando tumblr mutual) but all of this is very legit and I am also super stressed out about all the same systemic shit you are if it helps. What is this country even doing and how can we fight it? Who knows! Not me! 🫂

Solidarity from someone else dealing with some of the same questions working in a university rn. Also from someone whose cat had gingivitis for a while and it was a nightmare.

Excellent list. All solid reasons to stress. I'd say it gets easier as you get older, but that's not universal. I did less stress worrying in my 30s and do even less now in my 40s. But that's definitely not the case for lots of people. If your therapist's methods are upsetting you can talk to them about taking a break and doing something less intense for a while. That's a completely reasonable option. You need time to rest and heal as much as you need to do the work.

Nodding in agreement to every line. It's almost worse when you're aware of it because it's like. I KNOW I shouldn't worry about some of this. but I'm worrying anyways. and then I'm worrying about why I'm worrying. I paid over $300 (well, my mom paid for $200 of it as an xmas gift) for a hair dye job that I HATE and now I have to make them fix it and I'm throwing up about it. Work is frustrating and making me worried that I'm committing ethical crimes working with this doctor. I've been working on a conlang instead of my actual writing and it feels like I'm cheating. It was a little cathartic to read this list and remember that I am not uniquely suffering in the world. The world is making things suffer, that's for sure ... but at least we all have bad days. Or bad months. Or bad years. Not that I'm religious, but at least God is not giving me alone his toughest battles, etc etc

Hormones are not your fault! If anything your period itself should be embarrassed for living down to stereotypes 😌

If I were to make a list of my general stress/anxiety.... a multitude of these would be on it. So, if it helps, you aren't alone.

i was terrified going to kzoo that Mutual Friend & i were gonna piss eachother off so bad we wouldn't be able to be friends anymore and we did actually piss eachother off but now she is cemented as one of my favorite people of all time. can't promise that will happen but also can't promise it won't. Life be lif-in'
