I'll die on the hill that driving would be so much safer if everyone had to pass in a manual transmission. That would eliminate so many people who have no business driving from doing so. There are too many people on the road who have no business driving a car.
Thank you, Pudutr0n. And thanks for this thread! It's kind of bittersweet to see that a lot of folks are struggling lately. I know my personal circle is. Together, we can pull through.
Been struggling with anxiety and OCD since around the holidays. Work got more toxic than it already was, so I started interviewing, which was stressful. I'm starting a new job Monday, and I have anxiety about it--imposter syndrome, I suppose. It's essentially the same thing as I was doing, maybe with more responsibility, but a 50% pay increase. My biggest worry is I am going from no supervisor, making my own goals, and not working a strict 40 (less) to... who knows. It seems great, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for the level of effort, or the shock of going back to 40s.
My mental state is getting better as the date approaches, which is good, I just hope I can ride it out and settle into my new role. I'm starting Setraline today, at least.
Been praying for mom to come fix it all soon.
