i have no formal qualifications to speak of and i was in operations so my knowledge is already years out of date, all over the place and not at all relevant to any business operating that way
i've struggled learning anything since i left because as bad as people affect me the less time i spend around them the worse the mental fog gets, which makes my ability to focus on any one topic pretty much non-existent
attaining the delicate balance i require to feel functional is not happening in any formal environment, you are completely right about that and i've come to accept it over the past few years
apologies for not getting back to you before, got stuck in a mental loop just writing a response.. sounds like you know exactly what i'm talking about so i appreciate it
- krn 7y agoI know exactly how it feels. And that often nobody around can truly relate with this experience. It's like being thrown into a dark hole and being left there all by yourself, 24/7, for years. If you haven't seen it, Numb (2007) has captured this state pretty well: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Aa60FdWbdYY https://youtube.com/watch?v=Aa60FdWbdYY Also, it seems, there was a related thread here a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19018914 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19018914 That's just a reminder, that you are not alone.
- ta_4661 7y agoi did see numb long before i was conscious of the problem, i will give it a rewatch giving that thread a read as well if i leave nothing else behind i hope i'm at some point able to impart some knowledge on how to navigate this, with how we're living our lives i'm worried it will be commonplace before long thank you again
