Have you ever realised you were more tired from the people at work than the actual work itself? If so, how did you deal with that?

That’s such a real distinction. When the work isn’t the hard part but navigating personalities and unnecessary drama is, it drains a different kind of energy. Constantly managing that takes focus away from doing meaningful work. It makes sense that it would feel exhausting.

That seems to happen a lot. I never feel like I'm challenged by the work I'm doing. But some of the people I have to do it with, oh boy, they can be a real challenge. I swear, some of my coworkers get up in the morning thinking of ways to create drama. All I can do is navigate through it and deal with how exhausting it can be.

Sometimes by shutting myself off

Or taking mental health off days

That’s a nice way to deal with it !

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...
