sex is great but have you ever quit a job that was ruining your mental health?

@lucydev had an internship that genuinely broke me physically then mentally and yes it did feel good to have it be over

@guigui had a job that gave me multiple panic attacks a day and broke me internally. quitting after i found something else that didn't have the same issues was so damn good, it immediately improved my mental health.

I still sleep like shit bc of overthinking all the time, but i don't get a stomach ache on sunday afternoons anymore, and the panic attacks disappeared.

My utter lack of excitement for working in software unfortunately stayed, but the industry is just fucked beyond recognition, there's nothing i can do about that.

@lucydev yes, that was better

@lucydev three more week and I'm free

@JustinMac84 @lucydev Jokes on you, I told The Twins Barry and Larry I was quitting, let them "convince me" to stay on, and dipped when they really needed me later that week, got the satisfaction twice of hearing them flip shit.

@lucydev yup

@lucydev twice

@lucydev Yep, and if I can't make a change soon, I may have to do it again.

@lucydev yes, I did that almost one year ago, it was fantastic

@JustinMac84 @lucydev Which part?

@JustinMac84 @lucydev You know what, either way: Challenge accepted.

@lucydev oh yeah. Getting away from the gaslighting prima donna lead developer in my group has done wonders for my neurons

@lucydev Once. Makes me smile, just thinking about it.

@lucydev yes. Now I am in a different job that ruins my mental health. But it's less damaging

@lucydev, yes, and so many random and seemingly unrelated health issues (like, physiological issues) suddenly disappeared.

@lucydev Yes

@lucydev Working on it right now.

@lucydev Yes I have. It was brilliant!

@lucydev Only once almost 10 years ago and I'm still coming down off the high.

@lucydev no they actually fired me but I planned to quit anyway :3 so I also got pretty okay severance pay in the end
