    Oh it’s everything. I’m just very tired of keeping the peace so things can keep going. At work, with family. It’s eggshells everywhere and becoming exhausting. It was always there before gestures but it’s at 11 now.

      Shiiit, I know that feeling. It’s like slow suffocation.

      Is there any way to reduce contact with some of the people whose emotions you’re having to manage?

        Mostly it’s working for people who don’t think as I do and holding my tongue. Gonna bite it off. Figured other people are suffering this also. Gotta keep the job, you know? All the retroactive hugs for when you experienced this.

          Tell me about it. They just made the announcement that they’re putting up the forced 10 commandments bullshit at my work and I want to react, but literally can’t without losing my job. We can’t even have political signage up in our years and publicly make any statements.

          Ugh, yes, working for people who believe you should be sent to hell is very hard on the spirit.

          Have you got an escape plan?

          Thanks for the retroactive hugs :-)
