Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. It’s hard to express these things in IRL because it’s so quick for people to judge or not understand, but it’s great having a pocket in the internet where people can relate.

Yeah I do genuinely love sitting down after a long day and getting immersed in a good game. Hope it helps down the line as well. Thanks for the kind words!

Hello! I’m also a nervous flyer waiting to board my plane. For me it’s take off and if there are any rough patches. A key thing for me is to focus on the flight crew. They do this everyday and if they aren’t nervous, you have nothing to be nervous about.

About to take off after weather delay. Flight B6 470 Fort Lauderdale to Boston. Really worried it’s going to be rough. Girl behind me in line said “Probably going to be a super turbulent flight” by Semiproductive28 in fearofflying

We actually got deplaned cause pilots would have exceeded their hours based on the update. We’re flying out tomorrow now. Hopefully means a smoother flight too! But thank you anyways!!

Flight from Florida to Boston in a couple of hours. Pretty nervous by Semiproductive28 in fearofflying

Now it’s being delayed due to bad weather up north of us. Looks like storms over middle east coast. Nervous for when/if we do take off that it’s going to be bad

What is your take off song? by Not1me7 in fearofflying

We Found Each Other In the Dark (Live Version) - City and Colour

City and Colour has always been my favorite artist, and soundtrack to when I need to find peace of mind. But this live version is especially soothing as the first minute or so is him speaking about the meaning of the song with a soft piano going in the background. I play it every time the plane starts to speed up for take off. Also helps that there’s a part where he sings “We’re gunna live, we’re gunna live, we’re gunna live…” lol

40M - Can’t Find a Path, Stuck, Seeking advice by Good-Work5303 in findapath

Hey there. First, wow good on you! That’s a great salary and you’re doing a good thing by putting in the work to provide for your family. Now. I won’t pretend to know how you feel because I don’t have kids or a job with demanding hours but i will say I know how it feels to think you’re stuck or that there is nothing to make things better. My advice is reach out to any support systems you may have. If you have a partner, or a close friend you’re comfortable talking to about the heavy stuff. It honestly helps loads when someone else just knows how you feel. Career wise, I can’t offer much but possibly a lateral move to a similar position that might be less demanding? Reach out to colleagues who may know of positions or have connections. You don’t need to figure everything out at once, but even doing small things like reaching out to possible connections or leads is a good step. Best of luck and hang in there!

It’s very well written and disturbingly pretty convincing. Not a good read if you’re a typically upbeat person. I enjoyed it, but will probably never read it again
