I can understand that. Sometimes being in the presence of someone who is willing to let you be there and talk at your own pace is good.

The poor girl is probably losing her mind with online school. I know I would be.

Yesterday I realized how numb I’ve become to people slowly dying. I work in oncology now which is often sad. One of the nurses was talking about a patient getting sicker and the whole staff looked depressed, and I felt nothing.

Is your therapist offering virtual/zoom counseling? That might work.

My husband’s younger sister was the same way. His parents have to be in the room with her during classes to make sure she’s logged in.

I assume its a defense mechanism. I hope so at least. I now only feel pure rage when discussing covid deaths now because so much could have been avoided abd unfortunately due to hippa, i’m never gonna really be able to tell people everything i’ve witnessed.

That’s a shame. I know tele-health programs take a lot of work to get off the ground but they’re super helpful for patients.

God that teacher sounds awful. I’m sorry your sister has her.

I talked to one of my coworkers from main pharmacy the other day and he said he had a similar experience so now we know we’re both broken.

I can understand that entirely. Part of my anxiety is talking on the phone. I basically have to give myself a pep talk before I make a call.

That teacher sucks. I get switching to online is difficult but you should still be able to keep track of assignments. I was teaching a college lab on top of my normal job when covid started and needed to switch everything over and I did just fine when it came to tracking assignments.

That seems like a dramatic reaction to getting something taken away. That might be a future therapy discussion.

Yeah I’ve basically hit that state where I’m like, meh oh well.

I love your avi!

Oh the fun struggles of anxiety.

She’s learning Turkish?! Damn that can’t be easy. I feel for her. I would be lost in that class. I’m bad at Spanish and French. I wouldn’t even have a chance with a language that isn’t Latin based.

I hope the therapy helps her out. Too much change and stress at once can be a lot, and if she has autism of adhd or really any social/ learning disability, it only adds challenges to her. I hope everything works out okay.
