I just need to celebrate this a bit. Nobody gets it, but I feel like this sub will.
I am so sick that I am bedridden and will be for the foreseeable future. It's obviously devastating. Until January I was a database manager and I made $70k at a nonprofit. being sick absolutely sucks, I can't see friends, I can barely talk to my partner and I have to eat meal replacements for 2 out of 3 meals because my digestion is fucked. I am completely miserable and so is my partner (who has to take care of literally everything in our lives now).
However.
I no longer report to a boss, and I don't expect I ever will ever again.
And that is something nice to hold onto.
