I am supposed to leave on Wednesday and stay for a week, I already have the vacation time approved. I'm only mildly hesitant about traveling, I'm less concerned about catching something myself than I am concerned I'd spread it to my sister or her in-laws unknowingly.

I told her last week that I convinced myself it was a bad idea, I was going to follow my gut and stay home. My mom and youngest sister are still going, and now they're all telling me I'm overthinking it and working myself up and saying I would regret it if I didn't go and it all turns out fine. Bf says if I go I have to self-quarantine somewhere away from the house for two weeks. It would take maxing out a credit card, but so it goes.

I've gone back and forth on it so many times I can't even think straight, but as it stands I have until Wednesday to make a decision lol. What would you do, mb?

Oh no, can you change therapists? Its so hard to find a good one. I once got one assigned by my doctor and he was a huge moron, its horrible to be in a place where you need to be understood and to feel like that isn't happening at all

Semi stupid question but are you sure it’s that important to click?

I could, yes, it's just that it's very difficult to find a therapist that accepts medicaid and is currently accepting new clients. I hate therapy anyway. (My mom was always trying to force me to go to therapy in middle school and high school and it was awful.) I'd be interested in trying EMDR or something though.
