> As pfinstegg said, it's a complex question. It's definitely worth thought. And I can see how it can be attractive to think about. I remember how freeing it appeared to be when Clearskies stopped working.
>I feel that when I stopped working, it allowed me the energy to address the core issues that had made working so problematic: depression, anxiety, panic attacks; and my personal favourite, addiction.
While I was working, I really didn't know what direction I was running in. All I knew was that I'd dash from work to appointments to meetings to home and feel that I was ineffective at all those places. Which added to the depression and anxiety. My problems did not evaporate when I crawled away from my job; it did give me the chance to make concrete goals for myself, and the time and energy to make them happen.
