I'm seriously reconsidering career choices. My sleep has gotten worse, I never feel good anymore, and I don't even go out to see friends anymore because my social tolerance thresh hold is long exceeded by the time the weekend comes. Even larping feels like a chore that leaves me very stressed.
Don't know what to do though. I'll probably save up money and move away like I was originally planning. I doubt I go for psych though. Maybe I'll go to law school so I can be paid to argue with people?

I diagnose you with Over-Caring Syndrome.
I'm working on an empathy suppressor....Empaway.
Interested in trials?

I don't have much empathy to begin with. Though I did do something that didn't settle well with me after I did it, which was basically put the mental health of others above my own. Shouldn't have done that.

As you test the waters of empathy, you must be careful to not over imbibe.
It can be quite a shock to those of us lacking that gene.

The pair of pants I'm wearing now are starting to rip because they're so thin in one spot. My wife says they're worn out but I don't want to buy anything until I lose weight. So into the closet I go to find something.

Others get quite happily intoxicated on empathy. People are odd and more.

all this reading of Buddhist, Taoist and a dash of Shinto stuff is making my views or retirement change...its a ways off...but less than 10 years.... and I was going to retire and teach Taijiquan, Qigong and Xingyiquan in my wife's office....and I will likely still do that...but I am beginning to think I want to get back into mechanics working on motorcycles...mostly as a hobby...and I'm thinking BMWs..... within the next couple of years I might get one to ride again...an older 70s or 80s model...use to ride an old R100rs

Hmm. A "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" future.

For a field that preaches diversity, they are remarkably biased towards a certain privileged group with their values placed as the norm. My clients, some of them I fit well enough with. But outside of that, with the clinical side and dealing with staff at various levels, I definitely feel out of place, in so many ways. Those "normal" people, those who can basically have their views frequently validified in the field, they are some of the most bizarre and unusual and dysfunctional people I've known. And the spread their virus of heteronormativity. And you'd think there'd be no way someone like me could go on in life by the way they all talk about church and belief in god, and with plenty of the papers also promoting it. And at the office, they don't just talk about Jesus, they also talk about their drinking habits. At a job like this I wouldn't show up under the influence of anything, but one girl comes in and doesn't realize she's hungover until she describes how she's feeling and someone tells her. And, even according to the paper work, because it's a cultural norm, it's ok on the assessments (in general) if someone pukes their guts up on New Years Day from all they drank when it still Eve, just because it's the culture norm. No god for me, and I don't drink enough to be able to show up hungover. They really need a mirror and someone to point out all their uglies.

@Shadow Wolf I thought of you when I saw this tweet about metal ice cream flavors

I should make a "swirl of Hell" and "butterfire." Creamy sweet coldness with a sweet and creamy intensely burning sauce or fudge, or chocolate dipped/peanut topped sugar cone bits. Beast Cream, that one is just a great name for a metal ice cream flavor, lol.
But death cheese? Do they make cheese flavored ice cream?

cheese flavored ice cream?

Yes. And more. https://www.brit.co/savory-ice-cream-recipes/

Some of those look really good. Some of them look really eeewwww! Some of them I'm very curious about. Some of them I just don't see the point. The bacon ones are definitely a no.

This sucks. Tearing my cartilage pretty much kicked out the stability I had with coping for my job. I was stressed, but holding in there. Now I'm in pain all the time, more so than before. Which worsened my sleep, triggered my IBS really bad, giving me headaches, and I've had some symptoms of stress induced hypoglycemia. And I'm turning into a short-tempered *****.

I offered to help a guy who had a problem with the way some old lady was parking at the grocery store today by mentioning that shortly my right fist would be belting him into another time zone, and he called the cops. The old lady told them what he said and I got a serious “Don’t do that again,” complete with wiseass grin.

I once stuck up for an old lady who was being verbally abused by an old man.
He was also shaking his walker at her. So I threatened to thrash him.
Both then fell into fits of laughter at me, completely forgetting their own dispute.

Well, humor is the best way to break a tense situation...consider your effort a job well done!
