Every time I visit my relatives house, Fox News is blaring on the tv. I share my cable account with this person, so it annoys me that my money goes towards that poor excuse for a news channel. Today, I was asked to fix something. While doing this, I blocked fox news and fox business on the cable account. It may be petty, but I can't stand hearing that propaganda.

I’m having panic attacks left and right. Somebody please tell me you that relate. It’s becoming super hard to function in society. It’s hard to go to work. I’ve called out like 4 times in the past month. I can’t just ignore everything that is going on. I have NO IDEA how some people can just act like everything is ok. Nothing is ok. Are you guys worried at all? Is it interfering with your life at all? Please help. I can’t live like this anymore.

Only value the opinion of ppl you value.

You can say no. People are allowed to change their minds.

No explanation required. You can do what you want in your personal life - get a new job, cut someone out, sell a car, wear pink shoes to work - and when people ask why, you don't have to tell them. No explanation is owed to anyone.

No one else can help me but myself.

It’s great to have family and great friends around you. But at the end of the day, you’re on your own.
So don’t waste time and energy tryna be hero or something. Just share/give what you can. Learn how to say NO.

Dont tell anyone your days off and you will be able to enjoy it without being hassled to do something.

Automate payments.

You can cut toxic people out of your life like a tumor. Even if they are related to you, you don’t have to allow them time or space in your life.

Honestly? Treating my energy like a budget, not just my money. I stopped saying yes to things/people that drain me and suddenly life got way less chaotic. Protect your peace is cliché but…it works.

Sleeping early. Completing 7- 8 hours sleep.

Admit to yourself when something is not working and reverse course. The sunk cost fallacy keeps people moving in the wrong direction way longer than they need to be.

“You might be on to something “ is what I tell people when I don’t feel like arguing or proving a point. I don’t got the energy to change the way people think.
