I can tell you that, in our capitalist hellscape, being unemployed for a year a half fucking sucks. Iāve been able to keep myself busy by helping friends because I was free and playing a lot of music and stuff, and my evenings didnāt need to change much despite seeing people frequently enough, but yea you donāt want this. Hell, Iāve only been kept alive because of my parents and I have to be very careful about expenses because of it and even feel guilty when buying necessities.
Find a good work-life balance. Leave work on time and make sure you leave it where itās at and donāt bring it home unless youāre actively fighting for better protections, pay, and saner work hours(being grumpy and ranting doesnāt count!). A lot of people let jobs grind them down and we gotta shift ourselves away from that because itās killing us but also routines and purpose are kinda nice.
Yeah, thatās fair. I donāt really have family supports to fall back on and I just built up a small emergency fund for the first time so itās not a serious consideration as much as it is nice to daydream about, especially since I feel like Iām able to also find routines and purpose for myself if not for my lack of independent wealth or support structure (beyond my partner that I wouldnāt want to just live off of)
The work-life balance has been a big struggle of going back and forth on getting to saner hours while also having a bunch of mental health stuff going on from not dealing with earlier in life and starting a job search since the company Iām at might fold. I know Iām not alone and I am in a privileged position having employment, but as someone that is easily overwhelmed and struggling mentally, the escape from responsibility is a nice thought in a vacuum.
I am starting the process of seeking help now that I can afford it, but itās more āworkā to do anyways.
Iām sorry for the wall of text, but yeah rationally itās not wise to just not be employed, though itās at least a nice daydream thatāll stay that way hopefully.
Nah, itās ok, and yea that frickinā sucks. And donāt worry, not being alone also means you that youāve got people who you can work with when things get tough. A lot of people like to say that someoneās problem not being unique means that they canāt complain but frankly it just means itās actually a huge problem which very obviously needs to be addressed ASAP.
