Reply to comment by Bob3729 in How to stop reading as if in a competition? by Butterfuckungfly

I don’t mean to assume. Sorry. Just… not working, and not asking questions about employment? Just worried about feeling bad about losing a reader race that doesn’t exist? Kinda 1st world problemesque sounding.

I see where you're coming from with that :) but it also sounds like they're going through a bit of mental health crisis with how much medication they're on. They could be focusing on things in their life outside their career to help improve their situation. The things that make you happy and value life shouldn't come entirely from your work. But it couldn't hurt to give it more attention ;)

Dude, thanks for taking the time to hear me. I totally came off bitchy and I apologize. oops

Yeah good point. I guess I was trying to shock and awe her out of a navel-gazing loop and honestly, my advice was hard won. The worst, hardest, deepest trenches of my own suffering were allayed with the simple trick of turning all that energy outward. Help others.

And that was my (failed) attempt of a post. Hope OP reads this and forgives. I meant it all in a good way. Good luck for reals, all of us ✌️
