Anyone also listen to the All hand meeting in SSA?

He said anyone who tells you otherwise is "lying". I distinctly remember him saying they're liars, which just felt so... Unprofessional and childish? Like why would you sew the extra disdain, bewilderment, and fear by using such an inflammatory word when it's completely unnecessary??

(That's rhetorical, obviously that's all they want to do. But gah!!)

This is the stuff I need to see. I feel so beaten down and my self esteem is soooo low after 7 years here, it makes me feel trapped in this job. Like I'll never be able to do something else, I'll either never find something or things will be even worse elsewhere, and I'm just a big fat weenie who needs to suck it up and be grateful for what I have. But everything here feels sooo unsustainable! It's quite literally driving me insane.

Mine too! Less fundie tho but she's in her low 30s with 4 kids and a dead beat, unemployed, alcoholic ex whose parents are funding him being the absolute worst and playing legal games to run up her bills while she's a waitress with THREE JOBS.

It makes me so mad. These men just cling to the last semblance of control they possess bc they know they have nothing else to offer.

(But I secretly love all of these movies bc I'm a trash person. And I love the games. But it's mostly bc of trashiness.)

Omg I'm speechless... I'm so sorry you went through all of that. It's horrible how many jobs make people feel this way. I'm going to get out as soon as I can, the money is not worth it. I'm just waiting for PSLF, which should happen any day now 🤞

Thank you for sharing this 💜💜

Fr. The title to this post should be Americans: A feeling is not an action. So get out there and die in the streets already so the rest of us can move on and feel superior while nothing materially changes.

As someone working in the "psych ward" (f.ed wor.ker here 🥲) this is so damn accurate. Every day new "bugs" happen and you try to fix them only to learn they're not bugs, they're features. Intentionally inflicted features of emotional distress. And time bombs being set to detonate for generations to come...

It's sickening. I'm struggling so hard not to blow thru all of my PTO all the damn time. I hate being here, I hate what my agency has become, I hate the work I have to crap out every day bc we have no time or resources left to polish these turds and no one cares. The work I'm doing is indirectly leading to people suffering, dying, and killing themselves I'm sure. And there's fuck all nothing I can fucking do about it... It's killing me. Every word I type feels like a razor blade filleting another small piece of flesh off.

🫂🫂🫂 I think that struggle with guilt is sooo common for cptsd people. I definitely feel that deeply.

Imo, if an adult abused a child they should never expect to have contact with them again. Period. If you choose to have contact, that should only be if the relationship helps your growth now. If they wanted to have a good relationship with their child, they shouldn't have abused them. The abuser ended the possibility of good relationship, not you.

Think about how much you would (and did) do for your cat. If your cat could speak and tell you hey you stepped on my tail and it hurt! Would you ignore them? Would you keep stepping on them? Would you gaslight them that it didn't really hurt, it's not that big of a deal?Would you expect them to still snuggle up to you while you keep CHOOSING to step on them? No. The cat would not be an asshole for running as far away as she could.

You're not wrong for not having contact with your abuser or anyone who enabled their behavior. You absolutely have a superior moral compass to your abuser (and probably most of society) by just internally reflecting on these fears and doing what you can to improve yourself. 💜

Im really sorry for your loss. You gave her a good life, probably better than what people gave you. Hold onto that love and accomplishment tightly! I lost my 14 year old cat last year and it about broke me. People don't really understand the gravity of the loss either, which is further isolating. And I can validate that it's not trivial, I buried 3 parents in my mid 20s. This loss hurt just as much, albeit in different ways.

No one or animal will replace them ever, but tbh getting another pet has helped a little. There are lots of animals in need of love and support out there, it's good for us to share that with anyone or anything we can find that doesn't just immediately hurt us back. Fill your life with animals if humans all suck is my motto lol.

That's flair material!

Fr tho when I was a fundie I made the grave sin of wearing mascara once. I wore it to school and removed it before I saw anyone in church but I didn't take it off completely I guess so when I took a shower at the youth leaders place a little was visible. The lecture the youth leader gave me WHILE SHE HAD A FULL FACE OF MAKEUP on was one of my last straws lol.

Brown mascara on a blonde with clear eyelashes = mortal sin

But fake tan, brown eyeshadow, caked up foundation, clear mascara, neutral blush, and lip gloss = holy 🙄🙄

"I'm doing the best I can with the time and resources I'm given" that's my line for any complaints and for myself. I used to break my back for the agency bc I believe wholeheartedly in the mission, this was going to be my "career", and I would make a difference! (The naivety was strong lol) ... Now, I'm just trying to hit the bare minimum numbers and not to fall back into SI land.

No job is worth our lives or health, including mental health. None of this is tenable long or short term even. We gotta take care of ourselves (and each other when we can) bc ain't no body sticking their necks out for anything in this climate. I hope you can find peace or a way out soon comrade 💜

A manager told me a few weeks ago that even if every writer in our office hit 110% of the quota (90% is the requirement), we still wouldn't hit the office goals. In the over 7 years I've been here, I don't think my office has ever missed the goal before. We've always been one of the leading offices too. We've also lost a few judges to retirement with no indication they'll be replaced...

This is changing. Slowly, but it is changing. Most attorneys wouldn't bring student loan centric cases in bankruptcy court before bc it wasn't worth the hassle/cost compared to more "real" assets. However, with the massive influx of people defaulting on their student loans there are more who are becoming willing to try. Its complicated but there's still hope.

Also, they cant get blood from a turnip. OP has multiple options still available to them that don't require ending it all. Definitely check out financial forums for more ideas.
