not traumatised, just unlucky

staying here cos there are two grown men with golden retrievers and leaving would mean walking alone in the park for a bit which im not keen on with the dog shooting man i rejected, yknow?

sending love to all my Dead Mum Club pals this week! the constant reminders and advertisements will be over in a few days! you got this, i got this, we can get through it 💕

i know, it's very minor and it's personal, not policy! but my candidates are socialists, greens, libs, labor, one nation - my numbering feels like an easy choice, even knowing that Labor will win the seat, so at least i think the Labor candidate is a decent person

it wasn't even a urgent repair, it was just the bathroom sink not working and idk, im grateful! i will always say that social supports can and should be better, wider spread, and available to more people, but i am still INCREDIBLY grateful for the ones im currently receiving

i feel like every repair I've requested in a private rental has been stress that they'll raise the rent if you ask for repairs, a week of them not replying to multiple "my bathroom is unusable" emails, and then you get a random phone call from a plumber. do better!!!

*broken record voice*: i was referred to a grief counsellor at one point and looooved being able to talk about my mum for an hour every fortnight but then she dumped me because i was "too traumatised" to do grief therapy. fucking wild!

didn't even get to talk through my mum having a terminal illness because she lied about it being terminal so i didn't know. that in itself is so fucked up it feels like i need a thousand therapy sessions to work through, but nope! apparently talk about other stuff instead

i feel like both of those things are things people WITHOUT severe mental illness go to therapy for, yknow? but i dont get to talk them through because there's always something more pressing the therapist wants to deal with. feels unfair tbh! feels hard to move through!

i am going into mourning after i finish my last couple
