Feeling really awful today. It’s been zig zagging to here. Things just don’t make sense or fit together. How am I supposed to act with my husband & small child? Any tips

I would like to complain about the interminably long passport control queue I’m in. I travel here frequently, why is it always so so so slow. Bart de Wever needs to try standing here with a small child, maybe then something will change?

I don’t even know where to go to officially tell them this is bs. Please can we just start rioting or something.

I found a newsletter post I did when this all came out. I didn't know how to feel or what to think etc., so I found & tried out ways to I'm process my feelings around it using journalling.

Not sure I can link to the post itself but send a DM if you want. Anyways, it has some journalling techniques & a book recommendations: I'm sharing the text here in case anyone needs this too:

Processing difficult emotions (with a journal)

This post comes on the tsunami of sexual abuse allegations against the writer Neil Gaiman. It contains concrete ways I deal with the difficult feelings that are coming up for me - from freewriting, to letter writing, to art journaling. If you’d like to add any idea

I was wondering if anyone here can share a bit of their personal experiences of navigating menopause when you have a mood disorder (such as bipolar disorder)?

All the resources I can find talk about mental health issues that can arise during menopause but …what if you already have them? What has it been like for you or someone you know?

Hey everyone,

just posting to say thanks, really.

2 days ago I posted here with all my details and you all voted overwhelmingly in the 'screwed' direction. Since then I've demanded negotiations open, and they've given me a fully electric company car, with wage increase negotiations to continue during budget season.

win! :) not finished but excellent.

Sorry for missing the rule where we had to fill in the template. I'd done the initial post on my phone. Reposting.

Alright. Based on all of this information....I feel like I'm being so, so fucked over but I'm too scared to try and get better terms somehow (I genuinely feel kind of worthless, job-wise). I'd kind of like to just confirm that I'm getting a bad deal and maybe it'll give me the confidence to at least try and get a raise or something.

I earn €2318 after tax every month (yay indexation). I don’t have a company car. I have a 56km each way commute that I drive 3 days a week on our beloved E313. I pay for all the fuel etc myself. I’ve been here 8 years. I’m being really fucked over, aren’t I?

Hey lads I’m looking for somewhere to work from for a week or two in Rush. I’m gonna be heading over from Belgium where I live to see my mam and family etc. I’m after losing the place I used to work from (so sad, it was right on the north beach, amazing) and I can’t just “work upstairs and close the bedroom door” … I need a desk lol. I know there’s a place in Skerries & I’m feeling like that’s my only option. Let us know anyways, all tips welcome

My house is functional. But it’s getting fuller and fuller. I can’t throw things away, so many things are special or I don’t know what to do with them, I can’t even look in my doom boxes. I make art. So there’s a lot of that. I’m trying. But I feel really overwhelmed. I know my husband has a hard time with the chaos but he’s supportive and very good at not outright judging me (out loud at least, surely he must think this is ridiculous).

I don’t want him to have to live in this but I just can’t. I feel like even if I do purge a box or something, it makes no difference at all. Finding it really hard, sorry. Just needed somewhere I could say this and not be treated like there’s something wrong
