...See more I've realized I probably need therapy in some way, but I don't know where to start, especially since we're on a tighter budget. Here's a list of things that have wounded me the last few years: -felt unappreciated at work, which led to job hunting, but ultimately realizing I feel stuck because I don't know what I want to do for a career change -got pregnant, faced criticism for a multitude of reasons, called lazy while working at 8 months pregnant by a manager -heard rumors about myself while pregnant - every time I complained about something pre/postpartum my feelings were invalidated ("oh just wait until this stage, it's so much worse than now") -uncle diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer -maternal grandmother claims husband & I are neglectful parents for not baptizing our child -uncle's condition deteriorates rapidly, passes away -family strife over my dad forgiving his brother, uncle, on his deathbed -dad offers to shoot himself over the discourse -I find this out minutes before being sworn in as an organization's treasurer -child diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease - I get overwhelmed with the training for the position. The minute I'm criticized I tell the organization I can't do it because I'm so stressed out. I'm using this platform so that if or when I go talk to a licensed therapist, I already have some groundwork done and so that I can vent.
