thirst and sore throat

Does any of you who suffers from anxiety or is highly stressed struggle with periodic chronic thirst (in my case it is particularly high at night and makes me have a lot of nightmares; or is also related to salty foods that I should avoid at dinner, but it's not always the case) and then an annoying sore throat that in my case comes occasionaly but last the whole day and whatever I do it doesn't go away?

Of course, I would like to discover if anyone else struggles with something just similar, not the same as me.

Anyone has struggles related to anxiety, stress and thirst?

Thank you 😊

Valentine advertisements are the worst /vneg | TW exclusionism/amatonormativity, some all caps, almost breaking something

I freaking HATE them, especially if you’re in a non-monogamous non-romantic relationship (but NOT FRIENDS). They are meant to be love-exclusive, heteronormative, and monogamy-exclusive as much as they possibly can and it makes me sick and drives me crazy to the point where I almost broke my computer screen this morning because of seeing another stupid advertisement (no worries, it’s fine)! I hate the alternative title “Single awareness day” because it further proves the belief that Valentines is “oh so romantic” and plus while many single individuals don’t really care, some are making themselves and others feel bad because of the standard belief of “being in a relationship” when they are valid with OR without a partner(s).

Valentine’s Day does NOT have to be a romantic holiday. Plus, not every experiences love, whether that be romantic, platonic, familial, or whatever. Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be for everyone because it isn’t even FOR everyone, so society needs to STOP PUSHING IT DOWN OUR THROATS AND LEAVE US THE FRICK ALONE!

Stressful, depressing time.

It's been a particularly stressful week for me for a multitude of reasons. One, morale at work has gotten low. Because I work as an Activities Coordinator for a private care home, normally it is very rewarding but lately, I've been feeling as if it's not enough.
Also, my boss, one of the nicest people I've worked with, was driven to tears by the difficult family of one of the residents who thinks we are not doing enough and that creates an impact on everyone else. Because of my autism, trying to process everything can sometimes, like now, make me sick from being overstressed. It's also affecting my work performance as well as I struggle to fulfil some tasks for events I need to plan. Also, my home life is difficult which only adds to things. It's just this week has been low and I feel so numb about it. Luckily, I'm meeting a lot of friends at the weekend for a get-together so that will take my mind off things and hopefully next week will be better.

I just needed to get some things off my chest that others on here would understand. It's great to be a part of this community and any support would help. Please and Thanks. 👍👍👍

Burnt out…😞

Been feeling so burnt out lately. I feel like everyone around me constantly “takes” from me and no one ever seems to notice that I, myself, am struggling. I always give so much of my time to others—from my clients, to all the volunteers I oversee (about 60), friends, etc. I feel like I am feeling so “sucked dry” (for lack of a better word), yet none of those people seem to really notice that I am hanging on by a thread. I love helping others (not just because it is my profession/social worker, but because I generally care about people and making others happy). I hate to sound selfish, but when will it ever be my turn? When will someone just “step back” for a moment and go to me, “how are YOU” and not just say it or ask it as a generic statement. I’ve been feeling so spent, so drained, so fried and I feel no one really noticed how bad it is. And I say subtle things to those close to me and they don’t even think to stop for a minute to even chat with me about it. I give so much of myself—yet no one seems to do the same in return..I even have to “beg” in hopes to even get some sort of attention from my boss/pastor. Someone told me once I should plant myself outside his office but what this person doesn’t realize (or maybe they do) is I dont even have the time to do that. No sooner I get into work I am “on the go” for almost 10 straight hours..maybe i would get a few minutes to have a cup of tea which is most times interrupted..I’m tired…I’m fed up. I love my work but I can honestly say I feel fizzled out. I’m overworked, severely underpaid, I give 110% every day…but Not a care in the world, I feel, from others toward me. I get support “from afar” as I call it. Occasional text from my boss saying I am doing an exceptional job, etc. I know I hold my own very well, but sometimes just a simple “how are you” or checking in by those close to me, even my boss, would be appreciated (face to face—not a text). I shouldn’t have to “beg” for a few minutes of time..when will someone notice that I am struggling so much and just listen like I do constantly day in and day out for others? I am around so many that I listen to, help, etc. but I never seem to get the same in return (obviously not speaking about my clients, but I mean my close friends, my boss, etc). Sigh.. right now, I am so overly tired and worn out that I feel like sleeping but my mind is racing and my body just can’t seem to just rest. 😞 #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe #Stress #MentalHealth #Depression
