can someone tell me how valid a "mental health day" is

Submitted by twovests in venting

while i am not consumed with the darkness, the dark parts grow deeper and more painful. i can see the rabbit hole go deeper even if i am not in it. i can feel the void call louder and warmer.

this was building before the election but now "futile" sounds like a word i might use a lot more in the future

i am also considering giving myself an injury to have a sick day excuse, which, sounds insane? and if i'm considering hurting myself... hey! that counts!

on a similar note, if someone wants to vivisect and unfurl from my face my sinuses, i would welcome that (sniffles)

good thing the whole "harvesting organs from your political enemies while they are alive" can only happen in china. right. good thing that can't happen in america. not even guantanamo bay right

i am concerned for how bad things can get

i'm not even doing THAT bad but i do feel like i woke up one day, and they removed the guardrails on the stairs that go up to my apartment on the seventh floor.

hey, the LD50 for flights of stairs is 5. and, hey, does this spiral go to the basement? did we always have that?

unless the basement represents masculinity, I think you should brave it and head down

needing a mental health day every once in a while: valid

needing mental health days frequently: still valid, but probably a sign to find a therapist
