Dear T,
Well, you're not going to approve of this, but I told the volunteer group that I need to take a hiatus as their Communications Chair. I mentioned mental health issues as part of what's going on, which was maybe TMI, but it's a public health organization FFS. I feel guilty saying I'm overwhelmed and struggling, because so many people are right now, and it's not like we have no job or home or anything like that. But then, it is affecting me significantly, and it's affecting my ability to do a good or even mediocre job for this organization, so if there's someone else on the committee who's doing better and can step up, then that would be preferable. I just know you said I shouldn't cut out any sort of activity/connection right now. But I was lying awake stressing about it last night, so....

On the plus side, I did manage to drive for 15 minutes today. I imagine you'll be proud of me for that. I guess the most important thing is that I'm proud of myself, which sounds so cheesy....


Need to figure out whether to bring up the "you said your dog is needy but kept petting her" thing, and how I sort of related that to me. Or if that will be too weird, because I'm not a pet, which is basically a family member, but a paying client. But I keep thinking about it, so....
Love,
LT
