My da dis back from the hospital and in bad shape, but more lucid. He’s furious that we made him spend days there, but that’s better than dead. All three of us have Covid now, and it’s a tuberculosis ward where I live. I’m going to need a second week off work, which is going royally piss off management. My mom and I are also trying to take care of my dad. It’s a nightmare.

Glad you’re dad is doing better, but that sounds difficult. If management is pissed off, that’s their problem, not yours. It’s not your fault you’re in this situation.

I think I might be a misogynist (or at least have sexist views) and I don’t know what to do and hate that I can’t change. This is what feeling ostracized as a child and having little female role models can do. Why? Why? Why? I’m such a joke.

I am a worthless person who hates everyone who doesn’t share the same identity as me. When I start to get a bit better, I fuck it all up.

The first step in knowing you have a problem is admitting it , therefore I believe there is hope for you and you aren’t worthless . Keep trying , the more you try to get better, it becomes a habit . It’s like the parable of a certain artist who when asked how he got so good , he opened a closet and out spilled his hundreds of failures .
