2. First actual consistent sleep in about three days.
3. Went to buy groceries but then this:

you tried to help a bleeding woman who wanted NO HELP FROM NO ONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. what the actual fuck. i hope she was ok, and not a zombie.

i saw some of the news on cnn at work (there's a big tv in reception and it's always showing news) and was first confused and then a little concerned. and still confused, because i don't think cnn had any new news.

My general impression was that she was Not All There to begin with (likely booze? Many Long-Term Drinker characteristics) so probably not a zombie but I really hope that ambulance was for her.

Oh well. If you hear anything from Katie Hopkins about it, it's a big lie.

Yay, internet!

I hope she got the ambulance. You tried, which was the best you could do.

Glad you're safe from The News.

I hate it when I'm having the kind of day where "You've made this mistake and this is an issue" gets mentally mistranslated as "You are crappy at this and failing/disappointing everyone." Especially because I go on to judge myself for not sensibly accepting criticism like an adult.

Oh I get the "you know they probably want to be harsher but you're such a crybaby that they have to Consider Your SHITTY POINTLESS FEELINGS" one instead.

Ugh. You know what's not helpful in learning to calmly accept criticism, brain? An escalating list of ways this criticism and my reaction to it means bad things about me! I could totally deal with "You need to work on your organizational skills" if annoying corners of the brain didn't decided to be all "Let's make a list of profound character flaws this can be attributed to! Oh, that's upsetting? Let's make a list of how that indicates further character flaws!"

MENTAL ILLLNESS IS RARELY THERE TO BE HELPFUL
