Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 days agoI’m getting major surgery in two weeks and I’ll be on short term disability for an entire month afterwards. I’m honestly really looking forward to the time off, even if it’ll be full of physical suffering. My burnout outweighs the physical trauma of having nearly all of my reproductive organs removed.

I did the same, back during COVID lockdown. I think my body just started producing endorphins, because I was totally at piece while everybody lost their minds over that. I played The Outer Wilds and accepted that everything must end.

I feel guilty saying it, because I know I was in a privileged position, with a job that could be done remotely and living close to nature, but I fucking loved COVID lockdown. I can’t remember being so happy since childhood. Everything just slowed down, and I spent more time with my family.
