"I know I'm probably just being so dramatic and annoying, but this is my first job, like my first 9 to 5 job after college. I'm in person, and I'm commuting in the city, and it takes me f------ forever to get there," Brielle tearfully explained to her followers. "There's no way I'm gonna be able to afford living in the city right now, so that's off the table."

Brielle said it would be much easier if she lived in the city and could walk to work, but as she previously stated, it's too expensive. So, she takes the train. She gets on the train at 7:30 a.m. and doesn't get home until 6:15 p.m. at the earliest. And by then, Brielle doesn't "have time to do anything" productive or fun.

"I wanna shower, eat my dinner, and go to sleep. I don't have time or energy to cook my dinner, either," she said. "Like I don't have [the] energy to work out, like that's out the window, like, I'm so upset!"

Brielle clarified that this has "nothing to do with [her] job," simply noting that she's just upset over the fact that she no longer has an active social life. We've all been there, and we have to say: It really sucks.

"If it was remote, you get off at 5, and you're home, and everything's fine. But, like, I’m not home. It takes me [so] long to get home," Brielle added. "And I know it could be worse. I know I could be working longer, but like, I literally get off [and] it's pitch black. How do you have friends? How do you have time to like meet a guy? How do you have time for dating? I don't have time for anything, and I'm so stressed out."
