my work is undergoing a lot of restructuring and we're all getting shuffled off to new teams, and my boss just floated to me a team he thinks I'd be a good fit for, basically doing the same stuff I'm doing now with a closer focus on just fixing problems, ie, my favorite part of the job
If I do actually get moved to this new team though the actual new favorite part of the job is gonna be no longer working under this man

shit.
I know my family members have been asking me ‘seemingly’ harmless questions about me being off my meds and if I feel ‘better’, but the reality is - and no one in my family knows this - is that I’ve been on medication since the end of Dec 2023.
I’m parading around a massive lie that I am ‘off medication’ and that I ‘made it’.
I reckon I would have taken my life at some point this year or lost my job if I continued on the way I did, but who the hell am I to make that judgement? I have a house over my head, food in the fridge, a warm bed to sleep in and a well paying job.
I hate this immigrant mentality that mental health medication is fucking poison.

Rly pisses me of when people say I need to "take more risks" financially by investing or some shit like that because "boo hoo we're not getting retirement in the future". Like yeah you piece of shit, I know I'll work to death, but I also know investing in the exact thing that's keeping me from owning a house (which is, stocks in hedge funds and housing vultures) is foolish as hell if I TRULY believe I can buy a home.
Also: have you considered the possibility of the stock market crashing and losing everything. Because I did. Because my family has gone through extreme hardships where we barely escaped homelessness thrice now.

“Within two years of the deal being signed, its author was revealed to be a congenital liar and evicted from Downing Street. But the exposure of Boris Johnson as a serial political fraudster did not undo his biggest fraud.
The pretence that it was anything else is getting harder to sustain even for Tories who keep the Johnsonian faith. Earlier this week, George Eustice, a former environment secretary, conceded that a free-trade deal with Australia, hailed last year as a bounty of liberation from Brussels, was “a failure” that “gave away too much for far too little in return”. He did not clock that the same might be said of Brexit as a whole.”
