OKAY NOT GETTING A RESPOSNE FROM A JOB YOU APPLIED FOR IS ANNOYING AND DISAPPOINTING, I DIDN'T THINK BEING OFFERED AN INTERVIEW INSTEAD WOULD BE SO STRESSFUL

i called the ssa office to ask something and in the pre-recorded message they say, like it’s not fucking Insane, “if you’re calling with regards to a disability claim, due to a staffing shortage, current processing times for disability claims are between 250 and 300 days, after which it will take three to four weeks for you to receive your decision by mail” as though that’s just something that happens whoopsie sorry about that like die actually. how do these people sleep at night

Since we’re still dealing with my old shot head renters, come this Friday I’m going to be struggling really hard to get groceries. We struggled last pay too and don’t really have much for this week which isn’t great. I’m doing quick PAY WHAT YOU WANT sketches between my current art commission lys ( I do them as warm ups anyway). Reference of what they look like below. I just want to not struggle next week in the grocery department like I am rn.

I'm extra sad tonight. I know exactly why but I don't want to acknowledge it.
I came off my shift today and both my legs were in so much pain I waddled out. I had my mother drive me home because the fatigue was crushing. Currently, I'm working somewhere I absolutely love and don't want to leave, but dammit animal care is too taxing on my body.
I try to be clear of my limits but I don't even know my limits yet. It makes me nervous about summer research and graduate school.
Like, I really really tried to make the path towards a veterinarian work but it was clear to me in every clinic I assisted in (zoo, equine, small animal) that I wouldn't be accommodated properly due to understaffing*. I tried to make the path for a zookeeper or aquarist work but I fear it's too physically taxing on me now. I'm currently trying to make pure, hard research work but it's difficult when you don't have the academic connections needed to research vet med.
By all honesty I just want to know everything that's wrong with my body and if there's a way to manage it. Because I feel like I can be all I want to be once I get the pain and fatigue under control. Whether that's fully pursuing my PhD/DVM or something else. It's driving me crazy that I know there's at least something else in some other bodily system that my current meds aren't taking care of, but I don't even know where to start.
* Understaffing isn't the fault of the veterinarians or even the specific clinics but rather the field of veterinary medicine as a whole. It's a concerning trend that I don't think will get better in 5-7 years if I went to veterinary school right and planned to graduate in that time

This is the most pointless case of new job jitters I’ve ever had.
It’s both a low-stakes filler part-time job until I find something better/full-time AND it involves the same type of tasks I’ve done in some form or another in practically every job I’ve worked. Ugh anxiety is a nonsensical bitch. :/

Got recognized at work as the "Core Values VIP" which included enough points in our incentive program for me to cash out for a free paid vacation day. Man the imposter syndrome is hitting in full force, I don't feel like I've done anywhere near enough to warrant the praise I've been getting here. It feels so fucking weird
