1. Trying to take care of your mental health while also keeping up with the latest baking trends

I've cried over cake, I have shouted at pie

2. Presenting the research deck you put together at the last minute to your boss

Started making it, had a breakdown, bon appetite

3. Looking at your collection of Maggi noodles, Koka noodles, and Wai Wai noodles, to decide what tonight’s dinner will be

Decisions, decisions, all of them wrong

4. The first time you finish everything on your to-do list before the weekend arrives

I don't know whether to laugh or cry or what, I just feel like I need to talk with my mum

5. Explaining your weekly ‘office-housework-exercise’ routine to your therapist

I know what I'm doing but I don't know why I'm doing it

6. Sitting down to your favourite meal while reading the news

I can only taste fear in my mouth right now

7.  When you successfully finish watching the entire season of a new show in one sitting, despite your friends telling you it wasn’t possible
8. Interpreting everything you read as permission to take a nap, instead of completing the task at hand

It says chill for 30 mins

.
9. You to yourself, when the milk you were boiling for chai spills over
Get a grip
.
10. When you find yourself in a downward spiral for no apparent reason, only to find that your horoscope predicted it
This is getting weird now
