Had the same thing with dealing with grief after my grandfather passed away when I was a teenager- suffered from depression and had a hard time finding a reason to get out of bed let alone anything else. Two sessions in and the therapist I was seeing suggested me getting a job to take my mind off of my grief. Worked hard to follow his advice and now I'm burnt out and depressed.
Oh god I know the feeling.. if you're ever unemployed for a brief time you feel like a worthless POS, then you start working again and now you're just a worthless POS with a bit more money in your pocket. And personal wellbeing and self care just starts to fall by the wayside as you get burnt out and go thru the motions so you can earn your right to exist
Exactly, because money does nothing. People just decided to give it an arbitrary value and expect everyone to have it, but no one really wants it, because generally they have a thousand (exaggerative) copies with the same number and incredibly miniscule differences that MAKE IT LIKE ART...but it's seen more like over production with too little distribution to actually be okay with it, which is exactly what it is. .....and yet people criticize you if you do anything other than spend it on things you may also not really want.
