One of the few times it's 100% perfect to have an older white dude with a beard mansplain to a young girl.

[pbrim]

Except that is not mansplaining -- mansplaining is a man, assuming he knows everything better than women simply by virtue of being a man, trying to explain something he doesn’t know that much about to a woman who is expert in that area.  This is a man sharing his knowledge with a woman who has clearly demonstrated she has no idea what she is talking about.  That’s just called explaining.

I recently read an article about a therapy group for depressed people who had all attempted suicide at some point. The breakthrough question for them was, “If your goal was to be just as miserable as possible, what would you do?” Most of them listed things like not getting enough sleep, or isolating themselves from everyone… the list goes on, but the point is, they listed things they already do. But now they saw those “coping mechanisms” for what they really were: things that were actively making their condition worse.

I read that article at 2:00 AM, asked myself, am I TRYING to be miserable tomorrow? And it was easier than usual to put my phone down and fall asleep. Even my intrusive “lying down” thoughts about meaninglessness and existential dread were easier to suppress when I framed them as things I’d think about to purposefully make myself feel as awful as possible.

I never ever ever EVER post on Tumblr. But tonight, I am feeling so fucking terrible that this seems like the only acceptable platform to rant without judgement.

I have a job right now when countless others don't. I am fortunate. I work at a treatment center for young adults with emotional, mental, and behavioral issues. I am considered an essential worker. I am not a therapist, I am a residential staff member whose job it is to provide the participants with their medication, make sure that they do their chores, and ensure that they don't self harm or kill themselves.

I have stepped up to be a member of a small team that if, god forbid, a participant contracts coronavirus, I will be the one to take care of them, thus exposing myself.

We are starting to take on participants who need a much higher quality of care than our company can provide. We are starting to take on psychotic participants who are becoming physical with us (something our company has 'guaranteed' is grounds for being kicked out of the treatment program), we are being yelled at and cursed at by participants hourly now.

As staff, we no longer feel safe nor backed by the therapeutic team. Not to mention, the therapists refuse to come in for work and will only Zoom with the participants. Most of the time the RESIDENTIAL STAFF is having to act as a THERAPIST. I want to tell my company that if they expect us to act as therapists then they should pay us as therapists. Yet, we continue to make just above mimlnimum wage.

I am exhausted physically and mentally. I am becoming more and more hopeless. And I am disgusted by how much greed rules this world, but more specifically this country.

So, riddle me this, because I'm having a hard time here. If good karma exists, then where is it? If hard work pays off, then how much? Why don't people get better when they deserve better?
