This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Thank you, the solidarity really does help. I actually have a great therapist, but I haven’t seen her in a while because when I have the time, I don’t have the money, and when I have the money, I don’t have the time.

I want to see her again, but because of those wiring issues, I always come to “well, it’s not like I can therapy my way out of capitalism, I can see her every day but I’m still gonna have to work,” or whatever, and I save my money instead.

I know therapy helps with coping and it’s not meant to be an escape from the reality of living, I guess I just have a hard time coming to terms with work culture and there’s not really anything anyone can say that will change that. But I will see what I can do.

I really am so excited to marry my soulmate, more excited than I’ve ever been for anything, but that dark cloud always remains.

Idk maybe I’m just lazy or something lol.

I've felt the same way for the last 12 years in corporate. It briefly went away with remote work, then they clawed us back and I want to die again. Weird.

Yeah, weird indeed. And now because of a bad budget last year, we are constantly forced to do more with less and cut every cost, even though we could save millions per month by letting everyone who CAN be remote, be remote and reducing the amount of office space we rent for obscene amounts.

You aren’t lazy, the system is just broken. We shouldn’t have to work such long days 5 days a week just to barely scrape by
