There's never a word of support or empathy that comes out of his mouth. It's just yelling at me. I was feeling pretty strong about all of this - until he tore me down. Now I just want to crawl into bed.

My therapist is pressuring me to get a job. I don't know where she's coming up with that one. For one thing, my husband and I have had an online business for 12 years and I work at that. We actually get along best when we're working together. I was at my last job for 13 years. I'm exhausted from working since I was 14 years old. Plus, I'm on disability and don't want to lose it.

I'm by myself now (with my 5 cats); I'm going to work on regaining the optimism I felt this morning. I resent being stomped on by people who should be supportive.

Popsicles all around - in your favorite flavor!
I'm so sorry about your fur baby Beth

How horrible, your h flipping out, with no support or empathy

I hate it that your T is pressuring you to get a job. That sounds incredibly unhelpful. I have also had T's pressuring me to get a job, and a job that would be completely wrong for me. Why?

I understand about resenting being stomped on by people who should be supportive. You sometimes put into words what I am thinking

Maybe an orange popsicle (they have them in orange, right?)
