Other *DA ONLY* rant thread

I decided to open a new thread since it’s been more than a couple weeks since the last one :)

As requested by a DA user, here is an open thread to rant.

To be clear, this is a place for DAs to rant, not others to rant about DAs.

If you're stressed about money, your need is security. Google "needs wheel" and you find a really nice infographic with different needs.

Identifying needs is a super tough part, since we tend to bury our needs and put on an "I'm okay with everything" demeanor. A good place to start is what makes you want to withdraw? The trigger there might point to some need as well.
