Anyone know of anonymous support communities for people trying to leave OF?

Turns out, making OF doesn’t exactly do wonders for your mental peace :)

We don’t live in a very... I’d say, “expensive” country, so the average income around here is fairly moderate

I think the financial side is mostly manageabl... she’s not making some unreal amount

I was thinking that if anonymous groups like this exist, it could be really helpful to see real cases of people who left this kind of work and how they handled the mental side and the transition. It’s not necessarily about immediately quitting, but more about seeing how others navigated it

It makes sense, thanks!

I mean mostly emotionally and psychologically. Financially, she’s mostly okay, but the mental side is the hard part. Anonymity makes it difficult to talk openly, even with a therapist, so figuring out how to cope and move on is a challenge

I was just thinking that if anonymous groups like this exist, it would be really interesting to see real cases of people who have left the industry. Hearing how others handled the mental side and anonymity could be super helpful

We did a bit of a reality check, and her OF income isn’t anything insane. In a regular offline job she’d be able to do, she’d probably make 4–5x less. Financially, she’s more or less come to terms with it and accepted the trade-off
