  • With a little delay (sorry, life kept me busy enough so I couldn’t read this before), I just finished reading. I gotta say this was a rollercoaster.

    I love the news parts, as always, since you manage to get a whole week of news compressed in a single article (and without the clickbait ads) that feels fresh and nice to read.

    But knowing the kind of ordeal you are dealing with is heartbreaking. First and foremost, your health comes first. If you need to take a pause from this, you don’t have to apologize, it’s the right thing to do so go ahead and do it. I’m really sorry to hear about all you are going through, I hope you get to feel better soon!! Best wishes from an user who is clearly human!













  • I have 7 weeks of paid leave yearly to use as I please, however, my autism makes taking more than two weeks of pause together a struggle. I need my routines, even the work one. I found that taking small breaks of 2-3 days often (save for the 2 weeks I take in summer) works much better for me than taking a long pause. Longer pauses screw with my routines and they are actually worse and more draining than small and frequent pauses.

    Of course this is because I have to work, if work weren’t a necessity, I’d be perfectly well without it because I’d create routines to occupy the time I spend working.
