> it's always a struggle because work by its very nature is doing something you don't want to do because they're paying you... and doing something I don't want to do is very VERY hard. Almost impossible at times. I'm pretty successful by most people's (external) measures. But every single day is a miserable fight against my own brain. Some coping mechanisms are really harmful. > If you're a teenager or in your 20s, try and get some help now so you don't toil in futility for the next 20 years. Trust me. I second that.
