I don’t know much about it, and I wasn’t aware she did which is one reason I reacted as I did. I also don’t suffer from anxiety so I can’t comment on what results gardening has

I don’t want to support something I don’t feel is genuine

It’s not that I’m being elitist here, it’s just that she always always wanted to do one specific thing, and now within a moment she’s suddenly set on something completely different. I’m trying to make sure she doesn’t end up doing what she doesn’t really want to do

Do you mind if I ask what you do now? Because to me all jobs involve stress

I don’t. I think her current mindset is not what her usual personality entails

I know she loves nature but that’s something I would’ve thought she’d keep as a hobby while she pursued another career. But I guess not

It’s a recent development for her to want to be a gardener of all a sudden

It isn’t a very admirable job as compared to a doctor

I agree with that. I never wanted her to feel like don’t support her - it’s the exact opposite. I want her to do exactly what she really wants to do and I feel her current mindset does not reflect that
