💙 From One Anxious Person to Another 💙

I'm seeing this at the start of my third 63 hour week in a row. I get what you're saying but a warm shower doesn't pay the Bill's :'(

As one who has been diagnosed with PTSD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, you also need to keep one more thing in mind, one that most, including me for years, resist submitting to. You may not be able to sort this out on your own. You may need to seek out professional assistance. Do not be embarrassed over this. It is no different than seeking medical assistance for physical ailments. And do NOT let the outside sources that say that you just need to suck it up and get over it get in your head. Many times this will come from family and friends which makes it that much worse.

I appreciated reading this, Tea. I've been working six nights a week since we got short staffed at the restaurant I work at. There are times I would be sitting in my car when I get off work just so I can enjoy the silence. Thankfully I and my fellow cook have been getting Tuesday nights off. And you, Tea, take care of yourself. From one anxious worker to another. 😁

Just got done working doubles all weekend, got about 30 hours of overtime this week. Going to bed. Love you Tea. Have a good night everyone.

As someone who pretty much puts my own self care on the back burner I definitely needed to read this. I know that I should try to prioritize my own well being but I tend to ignore that and lie to myself that it’s not a big deal. I’ll try to be a bit more mindful. Little steps so I don’t completely over work myself.

I've been trying to take better care of myself, despite all the professional help I'm receiving or have received - I still feel very much helpless. I won't stop trying though, sometimes it's very hard for me to stave off the feeling of being so helpless.

Oh Tea, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize how bad you were stressing about work. Thank you for thinking if us, but please take good care of yourself. You are a very good person who has positively affected SO MANY people's lives, please remember to show yourself the love you show us. I hope work starts to go smoother for you, take care Tea.

Thank you so much, Tea. This has definitely been a stressful past several weeks for me, and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Truth be told, I might be stressed just because it’s way too hot where I live now. But I and everybody else truly appreciate your kind, helpful words. Be safe and take care of yourself.

I don't have a choice. I am currently $80 overdrawn in my bank account, so I have to keep DoorDash-ing.

Anthony Lampo

I hope you're also getting said rest, because you deserve it just like we do. If not more than we do :)

Arvel

As exhausting as it can get, whether it be physically or mentally, its nice to have a break. I appreciate this kind reminder, thank you.

If someone is throwing up about to have a nervous breakdown due to overworking themselves they should really take a break.

I really needed to hear this Tea and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please keep safe and take time for yourself as well, you work really hard at what you do and are amazing at it. Just keep in mind that we are mainly here for you and at the end of the day I think its fair to say that most of us just want you to be happy, healthy and for you to enjoy what you do yourself. Much love, your fellow wholesome degenerate and caring supporter. <3

Thank you for this advice Tea

It's important to commit to things you yourself enjoy, knowing when a habit is destructive and understanding that you can't put out good content when you feel not only unhappy but also trapped. Communication is key with not just yourself, but with those who can be considered your genuine supporters, lest you start lashing out on those people and driving them all away. Honesty can be harsh, but not many things hurt more than lying to yourself and all those around you.

Thank you

June

Thank you, Tea. I promise to work on taking better care of myself and developing healthier habits. Promise to take care of yourself too, ok?

Chad Schmaltz

Thank you, my friend. I only do casual volunteer work (and am lazy, as well as ashamed of it), so I don't remember this feeling. But do you really have all of those symptoms? Oh god! I am so, so sorry to hear that. Please let me/us know if we can do anything flto/for you whenever this happens. We love you, and will always be there to help you. Always... 💜😘

Lachlan Parker

Thank you Tea. May you rest well too.

Dalin

You deserve it too Tea! Take care of yourself!

Fuck sleep. I want money.

You're just so sweet, Tea. No pun intended. Thank you for the advice. I definitely will follow this advice. I'm really sorry it gets really bad for you. Thanks for everything that you do💙❤💜

My part time weekend job was shit this week so thanks for letting me “hear” that :)

Inquianyler

I would do that but my brain is of the dumb variety and tends to freak out when I'm doing anything other than work.

i.want.your.kneecaps

I often take work with me home and worry about small things that I will have to fix the next day at work. Since you all ways work your own hours and never really leave it’s extra important to take REAL breaks. Turn off your phone and just relax for a couple of days. Just how the 9-5 people do on the weekends. So remember to take care of your own health at all times Tea. Kaisel out ✌🏼

Kaisel

Truth. I could certainly do better at this myself. Thanks Tea!
