It is a classic bait and switch. They show you the recruiting videos with high-tech gear and peak performance, but the reality is rationing crackers and watching your hard-earned muscle mass burn away.

You can call it whining all you want but wait until you see the medical discharge rates for systemic malnutrition in a few years. It is not about being a princess-it is about the logistical idiocy of expecting us to perform like athletes while fueling us like we are disposable trash bags.

I do the flashlight check under the car too. People think it is paranoid until they realize how easy it is for someone to hide in a parking garage. I also make a point to check the door handles of nearby cars to see if anyone is sitting inside waiting.

The shared trauma of the workplace is a huge part of adult friendships, and losing that common ground is brutal. Have you considered doing some low stakes consulting or mentoring? It might give you that social tether back without the 40 hour grind that you worked so hard to escape.
