My boomer neighbor told me to 'invest in real estate.'

So I bought three new houseplants.

I told my manager I was feeling overwhelmed

and they said 'you just need to prioritize your tasks and remember, we're all in this together... as a high-performing team, not as people who will actually support you'

My company says 'we're a family here.'

Which explains why I'm emotionally exhausted and constantly planning my escape.

I told my therapist I was having trouble with self-regulation, so she gave me a mood journal to track my emotions.

Now my anxiety just has a very organized to-do list.
