My manager encouraged us to 'find our passion project.'

Mine is making sure I don't die at my desk.

I told my manager I was feeling burned out from all the 'optional' overtime

and they said I just needed to 'want it more' – I'm starting to think they want me to want a stress leave

I finally achieved financial stability.

Now I can afford the premium subscription to my anxiety app.

My therapist said I need to practice self-compassion.

So I let myself order takeout three nights in a row instead of cooking.
