Getting on an SSRI and getting into therapy is one of the best things I ever did.

Speaking of therapy though, I have an appointment tomorrow and I had told my therapist that I was going to take yesterday off of work as one of my floating holidays…. And then I didn’t. She is going to be Disappointed in me. Lol I just know it. Apparently I don’t take enough time off of work to take care of myself. (My accrued over 200 hours of PTO might confirm that. Lol)

omg, take your PTO! the older I get the more I borderline abuse it when I can.

Take Fridays off!

Same. I still have relapses, but getting help for them is so much easier now I've been through it a few times. Going through a rough patch atm, but starting therapy again on Friday. Woop woop.

Overworking and not taking PTO is an avoidance tactic is what I have learned. Please take your PTO if only to sit alone with yourself and just be and feel things.

you're right and this is probably what my therapist is going to tell me tomorrow.
