Time for some word vomit. I’m done in. I’m fried. I’m burnt out. I don’t know how else to say it. I’ve had so much shit going on the last 4-6 weeks that I honestly don’t know how I didn’t snap earlier. My work schedule is kicking my ass. I’m busting said ass to get

You know it’s bad when you have two therapists say the same thing to you on two separate occasions. To answer your first question, yes, I see two therapists. I have my therapist who I have been seeing for six or seven years, and then I recently picked up another who I see less frequently
