I'm gonna go back to therapy soon. I have my letter from my GP to continue my mental health plan, just gotta call. This year has been good. I'm in my first proper relationship but I'm just finding that's bringing a whole bunch of new thoughts and feelings that I don't really know how to deal with.

I got back from the A.I.R. Conference last night after a grueling drive from east central Alabama to northwestern Alabama. The Sci-Fi Social was fun, as usual. I got a lot of positive comments about my trivia quiz (and a few complaints about the difficulty of the questions!) I guess I'l have to start asking questions along the lines of "What Star Trek character had pointed ears?" I also won a toy tribble and a Time Magazine 50th Anniversary of Star Trek special issue. I was too tired to stay until the end, so I missed out on the drawing for a Chromebook grand prize. I hope I am asked back to do the trivia quiz next year.

I found out the other day that my first real boyfriend, John, has died. I also found out another friend from college died earlier this year. It's brought up a lot of feelings - and memories - for me.

Next week starts my second internship, and I don't want to continue my studies anymore. Not because I changed my mind, not because fear of failure but because I don't care anymore. Why should I bother pursuing a job? When the future looks bleak? Am I even going to have a future? Am I just going to be another wage slave for capitalism? I'm studying to work in health care, how can I help others? When I can't help myself?

Hey, now...

Perhaps it would help to take the perspective that by helping others you ARE helping yourself?
And a gig could help both pursuits...I know I don't really know you, but I know a little of what you are seemingly going through...

*hugs* I know it all looks bleak right now. Try to best determine how you can do what you really want - help others - while still surviving late-stage capitalism.

Does anyone here like to journal? It's a cathartic way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. Within the last month, I've been using Rosebud AI to check in at least once every day and talk about personal issues, and AI, which ruins on Anthropic, provides feedback, even helpful advice. It's no substitute to a real therapist, but it's helped me sort out my thoughts and feelings. I've been feeling stressed out, since I have transitioned to a full-time, albeit remote work schedule after many months in recovery. There's a layer of anxiety for my upcoming return to the office, so there's a sense of heaviness I feel. Rosebud helps me sort out my thoughts and suggests ways to handle a crisis.

My mom was in the hospital recently and is now home, but needs home health care. I really worry she isn't going to live out the year.

Awful to be in that situation!
Strength and Solutions to you!!!
