M, can you actually commit suicide like that? I don't even know.... you need a proper vacation where all you do is lay like a lump, read novels because you want to, and go to the movies often.

HAHA i'm pretty sure it's not possible, but i gave him an A for effort. he is super borderline, was just sending me a pretty distinct message :)

i am thinking about just quitting my job again, sad as that is. my roommate were daydreaming about lying around the living room for weeks, abusing netflix. i find this a quite viable option.

HAHA I KNOW. I AM SUPPOSED TO FEEL REFRESHED. LIKE I WANT TO BE THE BEST COUNSELOR EVER. turns out i'm just a hormonal crankypants.

OMG WHAT? Is that even possible to OD on?

grace_fully October 2 2009, 02:00:47 UTC

i'm not sure -- the ER said it wasn't lethal, but probably wasn't good for him. either way i'm pretty sure he was just trying to let me know what a C-bag i've been lately hahaha.

Well, FYI, when you're being a C-bag, Imma let you know. No need to waste my patches.

That sounds impossible, hon, I'm soo sorry work is so insane! Eeep.

grace_fully October 2 2009, 02:02:06 UTC

makes for a good tweet though, lol. normally i can deal with mental illness, but i am being a hormonal crazyface myself this week, so i fail at counseling. hopefully it only goes up from here!

I'm sorry that you don't have enough staff. That is typical of mental health service over here, too. Seems the crazies can't vote, so no point in giving them enough help so that they can lead lives with some dignity and self-realisation. I *hate* it when the most helpless people in our societies are left behind.

(((hugs))) Get some rest.

thanks corbs. you are always so wonderful.

it truly infuriates me that the staffing is so bad, as with so many other human service positions (um especially teaching and nursing, UGH). i didn't even get into it for "let us in," because it just would have taken over. it's awful to feel like all you want to do is help, but everything that can possibly hold you back is holding you back.

here's hoping my coworkers and i can pull it together. thanks for your support, seriously <333 SO MUCH LOVE.
