After witnessing a coworker get a stress induced heart attack earlier this year at the age of 32, I no longer overwork myself or worry about petty shit. Is it affecting my performance and how fast I get promoted? You bet. But I'm much happier as a result.

Totally agree. After working your ass off when you get a rating of 3 (met expectations), it's not worth it. It's a world of perception and you are treated like commodities without any human feelings.

I'm in the same boat with you. Finally brought it up to my PPED just so if/when I have a breakdown he knew it was coming.

@A1 I keep hearing about heart attacks in 30s. Makes me scared. However don't know how to manage when partners sell projects for half the time it takes to do them and expect the manager to figure it out.

Hi folks,

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?
