Friday Survival

[tomakeanoffer]

It's Friday! We have survived and that is awesome. I am pretty content with being here, anyway. It's not the best of weeks but I am alive an so are you an that's pretty great.

In other news, WED will be posted later today and I will be a person before then, so woosh!

So, if you are not familiar, this post is
• for being excited about the things you've done this week
• for asking for help if you need it
• for venting about anything that might need to be flailed over (but do let us know if you just need to vent, or if you'd like advice).
• for showing off something cool you've done/made/experienced this week.
• for being generally enthused and excited about things that have happened.
• for just being thrilled that you survived.

Come drop into the comments and let us know how you're doing and how things have gone.  If you need cheer leading or anything, feel free to say so, or if you just want to vent and don't want any advice or anything, let us know.

I do ask that if you have any triggering topics, that you mention them in the subject line, or first line of your comment. This is just so people can make informed decisions on what to read and keep everyone okay. <3 Thank you so much.

ETA because I realized it might be triggery for some folk <3

I am extremely frustrated and just need to vent for a bit.

My coworker, God love her, is legit going to get herself fired because she went off her depression meds cold turkey and is now picking fights with literally every manager and telling me that every manager is out to get her?? I just. I have known at least one of these managers since I was four years old. I have stood up for myself with these managers and pushed back at them. I have asked for hugs from them and talked about my breakup with them and never?? once?? got in trouble for being inappropriate or for standing up for myself and I have no idea what the HELL this coworker is on about but she keeps getting written up???

What the FUCK is she even doing. I feel bad for her, I like her very much, but I'm really very sure that the problem is with her, not with all seven (!!!!) of our managers plus an additional one who has since left my workplace. And I am SO. FRUSTRATED. with her. This blew up after she went off her meds cold turkey. You don't go off your meds cold turkey if you don't have to, and she doesn't have to, she just doesn't want to take them, and I AM SO FRUSTRATED AAAAAUGH. '

okay. phew.

All the hugs. That sounds super frustrating yeah. Hoping things get easier to deal with soon.

Thank you. <33 she told me today she's taking a couple months' leave, which will probably do everyone involved some good, and give her a chance to ride out the rest of the withdrawal. So good decision-making there. But thank you for letting me vent, because I really needed to.
