I remember people speculating about where the money went

Hi! hope this doesn’t break this subs rules. I’m finishing my 3rd year as an undergraduate psych major transfer student at a UC. I wanna MSW, and am planning on a gap year or two before my masters.

Been lowkey having a breakdown recently. I am about to fail a class this week, and get Bs, in my other classes. My transfer UC GPA was a 3.9 before this, so I’m feeling really down about it. Additionally, I don’t have any work experience in psych/social work yet. I feel like I’m running out of time to get an internship, as i graduate next year, and didn’t get one this summer.

Idk just been feeling really down recently. My mental health has been horrible since I transferred to a UC, and the job market so fucked. Any encouragement is welcome, I also just needed a quick rant.

I wish that the show had explored other variations of a higher power, instead of just a Christian God. The jump from Rue struggling with the God stuff, to accepting it seemed jarring to me. But, I also haven’t watched her special episode in a long time. It seems like many others have been complaining about the Christianity as well. I am definitely projecting my own opinions/experiences, but bear with me lol.

I used to be in AA and NA. I started attending at 17 years old. In my experience, it was heavily emphasized that the higher power needed for 12 step programs could be subjective, and could be basically whatever you want. Not having to adopt religion was SO important in me staying sober. I saw many people that wouldn’t have stayed in the program, if this hadn’t been emphasized.

I almost exclusively went to “young” meetings, and I’m from a big city in California, so I’m sure The AA/NA I got was partly a product of my liberal environment. It probably looks slightly different in southern states.

Idk I watched this season with newer friends who don’t know much about my past, and had to bite my tongue to rant/explain this.

I need one :( I’ll pay!!
