sarajw, (edited ) Today's revelation (or a thing I always knew but only just put words to):
Burnout and depression are likely outcomes of life, if you're a perceptive, feeling person who cares a lot and can't turn it off.
I'm grateful to have the self awareness to know that I am wilfully ignoring a lot of things in life that I consider Bad Things because if I don't, I don't function (in society, or the system as it stands).
I have all the compassion for people doing the same, even without the self awareness.
