I’m so burnt out. I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown and I feel like I need three months of stress leave.

Honestly, when I went on medical leave I took the time to decompress and then apply and interview for jobs (things I couldn’t do when I was full time).

I’m right there with you. Can you realistically take any paid time off? I know deadlines can always seem never ending, but your mental health really is far more important. I’m sorry you’re burnt out and I really hope you can take time for yourself to unplug/get some uninterrupted rest + anything you need 🙏 maybe even if you take a day or two off for now, it could help you gain some clarity on how you want to approach taking a longer amount of time off?

I’m taking a week next week. Just had to take some time but it always seems like no matter when I try to take time off, I come back to more work or it interferes with a project so I spend the entire time worrying about it

I feel like I need 3 years of stress leave, 3 months would go by too quick.

Anyway hope you're able to take some time off, life's too short to let work consume you.

Honestly, I wish. I think I’d spend the first three months just taking naps and trying to remember who I am again.

I’m looking to expand my font collection, but I don’t have an exorbitant budget. I saw a post here where people said they had collections of 1000+ fonts—someone had 14k, lol. Where do you guys look for fonts? I have Adobe fonts and use Google fonts and Future fonts, but are there other resources for reasonably priced fonts that don’t break the bank? How much do you tend to spend?

I am a 32M and have been on several dates with a 23F. We vibe and chemistry is there but a hurdle that she’s been very open with is the difficulty of telling her parents about this (9 year age gap). Completely understand her situation — how do I approach and/or overcome this? What can I do? Anyone had this large of an age gap in their relationships before? Thanks in advance

confession: Today I got a little too aggressive on the pint of ice cream in the freezer that only had a few bites in it. I came to realize the only way to not catch heat was to eat it all, go to the store and replace it, take a few bites of the new one, then destroy the evidence. Wife had no idea when she opened it after dinner. My life has come to sneaking treats and I don’t know how to feel about it.
