Showing cuts/scars in a work setting

I have work in a few days and due to a relapse some visible and noticeable cuts where there previously wasn’t any. I could wear long sleeves but my job is very physical and I usually sweat a lot in short sleeves and really don’t want to have to deal with being that hot and uncomfortable all day. Does anyone have any advice of what to say if someone points it out?

Attachment to therapist (non-romantic)

Most posts I’ve seen talking about feeling an attachment to their therapist is referring to a romantic attachment so I’m curious if anyone else has felt this and has any advice for me. My therapist has started to feel like a parental figure to me and I’ve grown attached to that feeling. They have given me a safe space and have nurtured and cared for me in a way that I’ve wanted and needed from a parent but haven’t gotten. They are now filling that want/need for me and I’m sure that’s unhealthy, right? Does this cross any ethical boundaries? I’m planning on bringing up in my next session even though I really really do not want to switch therapists. I have been having a very hard time recently and they have been an enormous help and it takes me so long to open up and feel comfortable with new people that switching to someone new would be very unhelpful for me. But I also know I probably should not be feeling this way. Any advice?

Cleaning at a hotel

I recently started a job as a housekeeper at a hotel and I’m having a problem of feeling very disoriented and sometimes dizzy from going up and down the halls as well as up and down on the elevator. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what helped? Is it something I’ll get used to over time?

Low Libido

Important info: I was on 30mg for 3 weeks and now I’m on 60mg. I’m currently not in a relationship

‼️TW MENTION OF SA‼️

Since starting this medication my libido has been completely nonexistent but as someone who was molested and has a lot of ptsd around sex I’m kind of happy/relieved my libido is completely gone. I have no desire to try to fix it/get it back. I’m just wondering if I’m alone in feeling this way.

Is it just me or does this character show disordered eating?

I think a big part of it is that her attitude towards food seems drastic in contrast to the way Rory and Lorelai act around food and it makes me wonder if she was written that way just to highlight the Gilmore girls eating habits more.

There’s a scene where she tells Rory she refuses to eat until she marries a rich man and then she’ll let herself get very fat and there’s another scene where she’s counting out nuts to eat and then immediately goes to the bathroom. It’s very clear the culture around food at that time made its way into the show and I’ve seen many posts talking about the infamous ballerina and Rory and Lorelai’s eating habits but none about Juliet, this girl, so I’m wondering if I’m alone in this thinking?

I know Lorelai gets some hate for not telling Luke about her comforting Christopher after his dad died, and although I think she should have told him, I can absolutely understand why she didn’t. Before they started dating she had to go and bail him out of jail for trying to beat up another man’s car because Nicole was cheating on him. And then he tried to fight Dean just for coming to the diner after he and Rory broke up. Point being she’s seen him start to get violent more than once and if I was in her shoes I would definitely be hesitant to say something for fear of how he would react. I know they have a scene where Luke tells Lorelai that it’s fine she had lunch at the Inn with Christopher, but him becoming violent would be more prominent in my mind and might be enough to at least hold off telling him for a while.

He was so sweet to Emily and I know he didn’t have much screen time so we don’t know his character all that well but something tells me he wouldn’t have secret lunched with Pennilyn Lott…
