excited for when my life finally calms the fuck down. i'm so, so consistently stressed out and all i did during my """vacation""" this week was run around places doing errands, doctor appts, filling out paperwork for my FMLA, make more appointments for my fucked up body, and just. RRGRH
I'm so stressed out. and it's so hard to not be. and stress is ruining my body. my A1C is sky high, im prediabetic, I'm deficient in vitamin D and im just. i feel like a neurotic zombie
hard to properly take care of myself when:
1. im so stressed I barely have an appetite
2. im being paid poverty wages so it's hard for me to consistently afford to eat properly
3. I'm so mentally exhausted I can't cook dinner anymore most days bc it takes SO much out of me when it didnt used to
my job is literally destroying my mind, body, and soul
I don't even need to go in to work today bc I took an extra day off. but I cried this morning bc shit just keeps happening and won't stop. and I'm so overwhelmed. and it's so hard
I wish I could retire for a few years and come back to things. bc I still want to go to back to school and be a practitioner. but like. fuck.
everything feels so impossible at once and I fucking hate my job and I actively dread going in now because we are ALWAYS fucking packed. all i do from 10-6 is nonstop talk to, screen, triage, book, register patients. I do not get a break from it until I PHYSICALLY EXIT the building for my lunch hour. and the second I get back its relentless until we close.
anyways! im definitely having a depression / panic episode. ill be fine but right now everything is crashing around me and I'm crying and cursing and screaming a lot lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

my 'deadline' for myself actually gives me a lot of peace and comfort like
I have a set date that at either which I will be:
- living a better life and not need to make use of my pact
- have an exit that I've prepared for and made peace with well in advanced
morbid, I know but. it really does make me feel better. I feel super relieved tbh

It's too bad that the musical of Les Mis downplays the parallels between Fantine and Enjolras and between Javert and Éponine. They're so unexpected and easy to miss the first time you read the novel, because the characters occupy such different worlds, but once you realize them, they're so striking!
And in the novel, both of these pairs of characters do seem to "trade" deaths.
Most obviously, Javert expects to die at the barricade, while Éponine contemplates drowning herself in the Seine, but the reverse happens.
More subtly, Fantine's last months seem to be leading toward Valjean reuniting her with Cosette. Even if we think her death is inevitable, we have reason to hope that at least she'll die happy, having seen her daughter, knowing she'll be cared for, and knowing her own sacrifices weren't in vain. But instead she dies in despair, thinking all is lost for herself, Valjean, and Cosette. Later, Enjolras is set up to die bravely but in total defeat and despair. But then Grantaire comes to his side, so he dies with a smile, knowing that at least one person, who once seemed to embody all the cynicism and apathy of Paris, was transformed by his ideals, which undoubtedly gives him hope that those ideals will live on after him and lead to change.
