After almost 15 years on the platform I deactivated and deleted my Twitter account yesterday and it felt amazing. What an utter cesspool of time waste that thing was. Good riddance.

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

Our bosses were on the call btw.
