    I'm in grad school to be a therapist. Doing practicum over zoom, working from home. Doing OK personally but my gf is struggling with online classes and also work from home. Always feel like I have to keep it together for everyone--i can and am able to but fuck sometimes I need some sad boi alone time.

    Mostly worried about noncovid stuff. My internship coming up is 900 hours of unpaid labor (actually paying thousands for the opportunity lol). Sick of #thegrind. Just wanna help people and not have to budget every fucking cent. Stimulus check 2 please?

    Staying optimistic, grounded, and proud of myself. Still, I'm 26 and feel 40. Expecting a dark future (big picture) and trying to find meaning in increasingly absurd times.

    Chill on the L man thats gotta be fucking w your head. I love psychs too but do them 1-2 times a year, I get too deep in my head when I'm tripping all the time. I know its a time where we want to escape and forget but you gotta get grounded or you'll just keep fading away. Find something that gives u meaning. Even if its little things the present moment always contains beauty. If u can, give yourself a day to take care of yourself--eat good, long shower/bath, pet an animal, watch a (light) movie or show. We can't be on the grind 24/7 we gotta find a balance. I've been strung out on uppers for months straight, dabbled with heroin, i know its tough but its possible to live better. Give urself the permission to enjoy a day and gather your thoughts. Good luck <3
