I find myself really yearning of my childhood and remembering the “good ole days”. It really makes me nostalgic and quite depressed for my life. I have a good job, life, relationship, but somehow I just struggle being happy and just wish life was how it was when I was younger. Does anyone get this feeling at all?

not an uncommon feeling - what it most likely is the feeling of when you had no real responsibilities when young but we all grow up and need to have a career, make money, support ourselves and family

Glad you asked in this specific bowl. I have felt the same and during those stretches where I'm asking myself "is this it, is this all life has to offer for the next several decades" I have found that magic mushrooms have helped me take inventory of everything going on in my life and also discover what brings me true joy. It's reignited a flame of hobbies but also feel like a kid again romping around in the woods. I don't feel dumber or inebriated like alcohol, actually more wise and introspective. That's just my experience it might not be the answer for everyone but during those periods you describe I find it to be very helpful.

Finally hit my breaking point. Been nothing but irritable & pissed off these past few weeks. Coach asked me on Friday when I’ll be taking time off & I just broke down. I’m a top performer & a workhorse. I’ve put so much effort into making sure my team is okay I forgot about myself. Now I am buried in work, performance is dropping & I can’t stop crying randomly. I kept telling people I am drowning but no one was listening. Coach is leaning to tell everyone to backoff thankfully.
