I'm currently sick with strep! 4th time in a year, doc said maybe it's time to get the tonsils out. I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea - outside of the last 2ish years I feel like I don't get strep all that often. Anyone else have their tonsils out as an adult? What was your experience?

Dang, I'm sorry about your tonsils! I have no useful input but I hope you feel better soon, strep sucks.

This week feels out to get me. My alarm didn't go off on two different days, I lost my comb, and work is awful.

The forecast keeps calling for snow and customers lose their everloving minds even though it never amounts to anything. Orders are almost two hours overdue and we can't get below 3,000 picks. The store is so crowded with all these losers shopping as slowly as possible and they won't get out of the way for nothing, so that gets us even more behind.

I got into another argument with my friend.

I know I'm probably the drama. I left the friend group since I was getting into drama with everyone except him, now it's just us and we're getting into drama. I'm aware I'm the common denominator here, and I keep trying to change, but all the changes I make are wrong.

I don't take his advice and it's disrespectful. I take his advice and that's too needy. I talk about my problems too much. It hurts his feelings that I stopped talking about my problems. Me saying that I have problems but refusing to elaborate is passive aggressive. (He's right there, lol. I was hoping he'd get the hint and stop pressing.)

I asked if I could bitch about something minor and he said yes, I honestly thought it'd be two sentences and I'd move on with my day. It turned into a big argument, then that somehow turned into a separate argument where he talked about what a terrible person he is for two hours while I failed to talk him down.

He hasnt talked to me since, and I have no plans to reach out. It's really weighing on me, we used to be best friends, I don't know what happened. I think I'm going to make my therapy goal to be someone who is even capable of interpersonal relationships, and keep to myself in the meantime
