That’s Real

If there’s one thing you can always count on from the end of summer, it’s that oh-so-lovely feeling that you just might lose your sh*t at any given minute. From trying to squeeze in every last minute of “freedom” to dealing with the back-to-school frenzy, we’re all a little… frazzled. The corporate grind may have you ready to put in your two weeks’ notice and take up barista-ing. Maybe it’s your mother-in-law, your sister, or even (and probably most likely) your kids driving you up the wall. But everyone’s just sort of over it by this point, judging by this week’s Confessional roundup.
And, yep, that tracks! Keep reading for some seriously relatable revelations, from understandable annoyances and turnoffs to menopause pain, financial stressors, and more.
