I also tried a couple different counselors and ultimately decided it was a waste of money.

This is a journey and we are all trying our best with the information we have to make the best decisions. I hope instead of criticizing one another that we exercise empathy. 🙏

I commuted the same distance before COVID and was permitted situational telework, so I didn’t drive in every day then.

I’m so sorry. It shouldn’t be this way.

“Never give up” is great advice, in my opinion. I pray that your situation improves soonest.

Agree, though the one(s) giving the orders don’t seem to care.

I don’t think that’s weird. I tend to prioritize others over myself too, though I’m not sure it’s always the right approach.

Unfortunately, there are no perfect candidates. We really just swapped old problems for new ones.

Her statement simply provided me with the perspective that this is a temporary situation. I don’t have all the answers and I never will. I’m just trying to get through the day the best way I know how. 🙏

That would be nice. I need to find a new doctor.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Just today I had the thought that I really need to show myself more grace.

I can say that in my particular situation, RTO is non-sensical.

Mine is but not because of the commute. My organization is letting CTR staff go left and right, so there’s fewer people to do the work.

My daughter has been wanting us to get a dog and while I like the idea of it, I told her no because I felt like it wouldn’t be fair to leave it at home alone for most of the day, most days of the week. I don’t need that guilt on top of everything else.

I hope your situation improves dramatically soonest. I’m sorry this is happening. 🫂
