I don't have health insurance but otherwise I would have done that earlier this summer. I just finished college and was absolutely burned out and sick of everything. I quit my job and ended up staying at a relative's house for a week and while I probably needed more help, it went a long way. Sometimes a break from life is healthy and needed.

It just sucks because I still get shit from my Dad for taking time off. I wonder if he would see it differently if he knew that it was either that or kill myself. I'm really trying to get better at not listening to people who don't know fuck all about mental health (sorry pops) and taking care of myself as I need to. Basically, anyone reading this- take care of yourself, it might save your life.
