    The average european has a good life, but the average person doesn’t exist outside of statistics.

    I used to work 84h weeks as a European, overtime is taxed at a higher rate so the take home is lower than a regular working hour. But if you really want something out of life (like buying a house) you have to sacrifice everything if you’re just a normal worker.

    Hell i sacrificed it all only to lose it to economic troubles and later again due to covid.

    I’m not doing that again even though all my employers try to get me to work overtime, some even fired me for refusing to work overtime past the contractual 3h per week.

    I somehow ended up making a decent wage at my current job, but i dislike the job so badly it’s not even funny anymore.

    There’s always something coming in and going out, something different every other second.

    My previous doc already noticed hyper awareness, but he had me talk about things that trouble me and doing that kicks it in overdrive.

    End result: i got some anti psychotics and pointed out the door asap, it felt like i said something wrong for a singke second that made the therapists employer go: “nope, not today buddy. Strike 3, you’re out.”

    That medication made me so tired but man did the silence help, i felt like i could breathe for once without being interrupted. It had me sleeping 14h a day AND taking naps the moment i got to sit still for a minute.

    I have difficulty bringing across what is going on which makes it feel impossible to let people know how and what is going on, making therapy useless as they’ll just decide: “this is going nowhere”.


  • We have a local place a couple cities over (013 in Tilburg) tickets usually are like €32 and large beer is €6 (i usually do well on 2) so that makes it €44 for a live performance from a band i actually enjoy (some pretty big names show up here).

    Now of only i could still function for the two remaining workdays after a concert there, i would still go there.

    But i’m probably getting old because it completely cripples me until after the weekend. Which is too high of a price as it puts my job at risk.
