MODERATOR OF

Havent felt proud to be an American in a long while. I'm proud of loving thy neighbor as myself, not lining the pockets of billionaires. I hate that I'm powerless to do much. Representative democracy? My ass. No one represents me. They're all aristocrats. "it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?"

I'm not bitter about it at all. /s

It's definitely anxiety. I've got that diagnosis on the books, lol.

  1. I have meds for depression, amusingly. They're the same for anxiety.

  2. I used to see a therapist but haven't in a while. Been thinking about going again.

  3. I think "should" is OK in moderation. I don't use it to judge myself per se, but to ask if I'm off base or something.

The new job is actually much better than the old job in many little ways like coworkers and mentorship and purpose. I honestly don't think it's that.

I didn't do my hobbies much when I was laid off either. I thought I'd be overjoyed since I had more time. Nope. I did them less.

A year to feel not exhausted? Wow.

 

I really don't know what's going on with me. I was laid off rather suddenly and unexpectedly. I spent the next 5 months looking for a job. I spent the day searching for jobs and networking and applying, then taking weekends off. Additionally, I'm already diagnosed with anxiety and take meds. It's semi controlled.

I've had a job for 3 months now. (So it's 8 months since I was laid off.) I'm completely drained by the time I get home and NOTHING is fun. I've quit all my hobbies. I want tot WANT my hobbies, but I just don't. I want to just lay down and do nothing. I think I should be back to where I was before the layoff. My previous jobs never drained me this much. This job isn't that far off from my last job.

Can it take months to get over being laid off or could there be something else going on?

 

I gotta make these. They seem like they'd make good gifts.
