    I had my care team meeting today. I think it went pretty well. It was fun watching the shitshow of blame games, as well as the external people who just seemed shocked this happened at all. It looks like my org will reimburse me for the security camera and door alarms though, so that’s useful. It didn’t actually cross my mind that I could probably either make them buy it, or to just reimburse me for it later. One of my support people in the meeting was just like “so let me get this straight: you purchased cameras and alarms to keep yourself safe, with your own money, even though it’s their fault you have to worry about your safety in the first place?”

    From tonight there’s no more overnight workers which means I’m on my own again. I’m not feeling unsafe or scared anymore, I feel like even if he does come back, I can handle it. But after thinking on it more, I don’t think he’s the type who would come back. I mean, he broke into my room while I was away and only did it before he moved out, even though it’s probably a logical fallacy on my part, that kind of just seems like cowardice. Plus, if he was planning on coming back, he probably would’ve by now

      If you were an adult, I’d tell you to go to the ABC with this clusterfuck. Save it for when you’re safe, though, this crap needs to be exposed ugh.

      I’m glad you’re feeling better and safer. I hope things keep improving for you! You’re incredibly kind and smart :)

        Hmm… Well, I’ll see the area manager tomorrow afternoon, he’ll probably tell me he’s sorry for what happened but also it’s not actually his fault at all and in a roundabout way, it’s actually my fault. But that’s probably about it

    Made it in for a bit but was too much got out straight away:

    Wasn’t the size of the waves but the power in them was impressive. Zero people walking their doggos heh.

    Through to an interview with second preference job, Friday lunchtime. I’ve already done online testing with great results and submitted a five minute video. I’m hoping this is more of a formality at this point. I am a great candidate

    I could wear make-up and curl my hair,
    Commence my glow-up and start to care,
    I’d colour myself amongst the rainbow,
    But what for and why? I don’t know.

    I want to be pretty like the girls on the net,
    But I feel quite petty when my eyes set
    Upon my face and the way it exists.
    But what for and why? It just is.

    Is it the web that makes me feel so bad?
    All the cute girls on the street, I feel so sad.
    I’m sure if I tried, I’d look like a queen,
    But what for and why, so I could be seen?

    I don’t crave attention, I’ll promise you that,
    I like staying home with my coffee and cat,
    Should I do it for me, and try to be pretty?
    But what for and why? Now I sound petty.

    Work all week. Spend weekend recovering from exhaustion. Repeat. Life not very satisfying ☹️. At least my cat naps on the bed with me.

    Every nerve is fried. My heart is beating so fast, and the nerves in my neck twinge. I teleport around the apartment, quantum, fleeting. Electricity courses through my body in waves.

    SNRI withdrawal is wild. 3/10, do not recommend. (A 3, because sometimes it feels like my brain is in freefall and it’s almost pleasant).

    I’ll be fine, I have the meds now. The woes of executive dysfunction and supporting a local pharmacy that closes on Sundays. 🤦‍♀️

    My one last morning volunteer shift is tomorrow, so up at 4am, off at 6am, start at 8am, finish at 12pm, should be home by 2ish-pm. Rest. Cleanup Wednesday in prep for MIL visit from Perth. Then TAFE on Thursday and Friday.

    This turned into a ramble. Enjoy lol

        Ty 💜💜💜 It’s not my favourite experience, that’s for sure. Not even in my Top 50.

        But least it isn’t painful, just unpleasant as you said

      SNRI withdrawal rates 0/10 in my books. I remember having constant brain zaps and feeling like a completely out of control bag of volatile emotions. Probably nothing about it felt good because it fucked up work so badly. Hope you manage to get back on track asap. I would risk going to a chain pharmacy to avoid SNRI withdrawals in the future…

      Sorry for how you’re feeling. I’ve heard withdrawal symptoms can be awful.

      I hope you feel better soon!
