Love my job, happy with my situation, would just look forward to maybe retiring in five years.

Might make a wish list of what I’d do w the money

Growing up in a time where seeking mental health was heavily stigmatized, I haven’t sought any professional help for this. “Man up” and “Tough it out” was the rule for anything short of broken bones.

You are not the first to suggest getting help, but are the first who’s had similar experience.

I think it’s time I “Man up” and admit I need help, thank you

Whole life I had a very hard time waking up. Early just wasn’t for me.

Then I woke up to the house burning down around me, trapped in a basement.

Now I wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 am every morning without an alarm clock, in fight or flight mode, so I don’t even need coffee.

Not a solution that’s right for everyone.
