There's nowhere for me to go in to. My job is walking dogs.
The natural disaster has definitely affected me. Changes in routine are difficult for me, and I had to evacuate the area for 3 weeks, so that obviously turned my life upside down. Then it was upsetting to come back, because that was another change in routine, except it was even worse coming back, because I am completely socially isolated where I live, which is obviously terrible for my depression. I expect she thinks the event affected her way more than it did me, because she chose to stay in the area instead of evacuate, so she had to deal with no electricity for weeks and stuff like that. I'm fact, that reminds me, one time I texted her to make an appointment for when I was coming back. I mentioned how my mother had tried to grab my phone and demanded to know whom I was texting - and then when I finally told her, after refusing at first, she accused me of making an appointment to talk about how mean she was to me as a child, with a sad face emoji. I mentioned this to my T in the text. Her response was she knew it was hard and that her electricity was out again, with a laughing face emoji. Although I felt sorry for her that her electricity was out again, I thought her reply was a bit insensitive. I guess maybe she's just not feeling very sympathetic lately or something.
