"And if someone microwaves spaghetti in that tupperware, so help me..."

You still won't know what you're doing half the time, even if everyone else seems to.

We just got some nice glass tupperware on clearance. I'm excited to use it

Meh. Favourite blanket, favourite toy; favourite furniture, favourite tupperware. It doesn't change that much..

I still maintain that I absolutely know what I'm doing, and I'm awesome for it. It's this world that says I'll get diabetes, and other health issues if I do a handstand hovering over a display of upward pointed sharp knives, eating a bowl of doreoittos as a cereal with no milk.

What? You never heard of doreoittos? It's when you twist open an oreo, so it's now two halfs of an oreo. Then you put dorittos in the middle, and then reassemble the cookie.

Do not microwave anything plastic. There is no such thing as microwavable plastic. "Microwavable plastic" is simply plastic that doesn't melt in the microwave. It can still leech, though. Thats why spaghetti often turns plastic Tupperware red when microwaved.

My adult life so far: new furniture is cool, but have you seen my new collars? They're Memphis design-themed! Also I have another protobean because 24 of the little fuckers weren't enough. Oh boy, it's Friday! VRC drinking/getting-stoned-out-of-your-mind night! I just spent 9hrs doing an assessment at a mental hospital with my dad and oh boy am I glad my dad was there because otherwise I woulda been locked in without any outside contact but I got to go home after 9hrs of sitting in an empty room with my dad with nothing else to do except talk about life. At least I got a lot of misunderstandings cleared up and I'm feeling way more supported by my parents now (which I need a lot of atm).

(I've had a lot of things happen in the past couple months that have made me feel as though I'm starting all over again, but in a good way)

I get really excited about new furniture partly because I have odd taste that's hard to find good stuff for

You'll google "inpatient mental health treatment near me," realize none of the options your insurance covers are all that good and you can't really afford to take that much time off work anyway, and close the window. (Assuming you're American, and probably need to get your meds adjusted.)

I vote up, notwithstanding the lack of source or credit, which is imho very unkind

Congrats. I always try to enjoy the ride while trying to keep faith that the journey is to somewhere ever so slightly better.

For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'Eastcoatitnotes comics' themselves.

Thank you, much appreciated!

It's very hard to get psychiatric help covered by insurance/healthcare in Europe too unfortunately.

As for getting time off work, have you looked into FMLA? I'm unsure what goes into eligibility but if you qualify, your employer is required to allow up to 6 months leave each year for any short term disability including mental health/burnout.

You might or might not get your full salary (assuming you are salaried) during this time, but it will keep your job secure as long as you document ongoing care with your employer's disability provider.

Wait. Y'all just don't buy a matching set?

[email protected]

Can we see those collars, pretty please??!

[email protected]

Problem is when they break or wear out and they don't make the good ones anymore cos they changed the design 7 times to save 1c in manufacturing costs since you last bought new ones.

You also have one piece of cutlery that you hate and you don't know where it came from. You don't get rid of it though. You'd sooner do the washing up while starving than use that stupid slightly wider fork, but it stays in the draw just in case.
