the ugly answer: the suffer as long as they can and then they find a different job.

My skills fit perfectly in my job. And I'm happy with the job; no constant or prolonged sense of dissatisfaction.
But just feel like I'm not getting challenged or growing in depth in areas I should be. Which makes it hard to push at moments like this, with no motivation to drive me out of a slump. And it feels like this is a kind of job that you either keep up ot get left behind, which adds a factor of intimidation upon that and makes it tough.
Still learning a lot and enjoying it though!

I no longer tell myself I want to be dead. Meds and therapy have helped. But I also seem to not care if I die or get a terminal illness or disease. Like I won’t put myself in danger but if I get a disease or illness I won’t mind either. Does anyone else feel like that? Maybe that’s one reason I don’t bother to get myself in shape.
