I have never had a job that improved my mental health, not once. And I am actually very privileged in general. Jobs have been net negative for my health, even with regular therapy.
I’ve never found the correct amount of working for my mental health. Not working has been very bad for it, but so has working. What I really want is like 20 hours a week doing something that I believe improves the world
Wouldn’t that be ideal? Working for your goals along with working for your needs. Problem is jobs tend to take away a lot of energy from us and that is by design.
