I've been reading self-help books to improve my mental health

but the only thing I've accomplished is organizing my bookshelf by recovery journey

My therapist said 'doing the work' means leaning into discomfort.

I told her I'd just lean into my weighted blanket instead.

I asked my boomer friend for investment advice

He told me to buy a house, I told him I'd rather buy a Lambo, at least then I'd have a vehicle to sleep in

My boss told us 'we're a family here,'

which is why I'm always guilt-tripped into doing extra work and can never afford to move out.
