Kirk Gif from Family Guy or it didn't happen.

I, the OP, am going to my first AA meeting tomorrow. I called family and friends and enlisted my partner to hold me accountable. It all started with this thread. Originally, this thread was never intended to solicit lectures on my wayward behavior, my poor choice of career, my devotion to my clients, or anything remotely…

lol! +1

I think social workers fall somewhere in middle of that.

Never in the job. At night only.

It's ok. Don't think any more about it. * hug* For reals.

Thank you. That brought tears to my eyes.

I will read this ! Thank you!

My "emotional drain" and burden on my depression management is not because I'm "burned out". My dad is dying of cancer. Wtf? I love my work. I love seeing my clients and a great deal about my career. After what transpires with my father, no, i will not be taking your unfounded recommendation that I "step away from this…

In response to those folks that have positive comments and thoughtful supportive advice, thank you. In response to those that suggested that I take a step back from my clients while going through this, you are correct in this sentiment and I have done with professional advice and understanding at work. To the woman that…

You should see if you can get a degree that lets you diagnose people on the interwebs!

This actually made me feel like truly taking the selfish, childish, attention seeking path of wrist slicing in the bath tub. You sir, are an *kitten* hole. Don't go into social services. Become a drill sargeant who admires birds that freeze to death without ever complaining of the colfd.

My other social worker friend told me to make sure to use the knife where people wouldn't see the scars. Sad, huh?

*crying hug*

I'm on week 6, but I'd love more C25K friends! Add me!

I'd like to get a free one for all the ones I've ever held in while watching others youth blatantly picking on other awkward youth and people with disabilities.

The most amusing thing I ever saw in nature was a full 3 minute dilemma being experienced by a squirrel with a full-sized piece of toast that he could not fathom how to take with him into the tree. He went from tree to tree staring up, then just sat there holding it and looking dejected.

Great smile!

I would read. Sleep. Play video games. Read. Think about painting and consider a canvas for a while. Run.

What constitutes wasted time? What God is out there dictating how time should be spent? :)

How not? You are hot. :)

I didn't read through all 19 pages of this thread, so perhaps my comment will have been expressed already. There is definitely a line between being 'flirted with' and being 'bombarded with insinuations." I used to not be a fat girl, and I would get that time and time again - "Hey girl, you looking good! Let's chill."…

I've had a fluctuating relationship with the scale lately myself, going up and down over about 5lbs, and I have been running longer distances for the last two weeks. I decided that while that is frustrating, it helps to try to foster a different mindset about your accomplishments. Instead of telling myself that "This week…

Hands down the best GIF ever.

I grew out of my not-fat clothes over the winter, so before I get back into them, I'm all about the skirts! Get you some nice, stretchy and / or draw string skirts for bottoms, and some nice tops. I shop at the thrift store, especially in the well to do districts of town, because you get items with tags still on them for…

Wooo you are rocking that crop top too! Congrats!!!

Congratulations on your hard work! You've been doing great!

Do you recommend any running shoes?

I KNEW it!

See above. Also, keep repeating it if you have to, but it WILL happen! I promise! :)
