I know there's a lot of defense on this sub of “I don't want to not work, I just want better working conditions”, and more power to those of you that push for this.
Me? I do just want to stop working. I don't want a job. I dont want to work for anyone. I don't want to have to sacrifice my time and energy for years and years on end for something that doesn't benefit me beyond paying my bills. (I also fully recognize that this isn't realistic, I'm just venting)
If I didn't have to work and had a ton of money, I'd do a lot of volunteering, I'd travel and see the beauty of the world we live in, I'd engage in the hobbies of mine that I haven't touched in ages, I'd start a family, I'd run an animal sanctuary, and so, so much more.
As it stands, I fantasize about dying in a car crash on my way to work because, hey, I wouldn't have to work if I were dead. My sleep is light and short, and I'm too tired and irritable to do anything when I'm not at work. I feel like my mental health is hanging by a thread sometimes and therapy doesn't seem to be enough to stop my downward spiral. I genuinely don't see why I would want to stick around in a world where working myself into utter misery is my only option for survival.
It's just so tiring. I'm so burnt out and there's nothing I can do about it.
