Thank you, and I like the idea of watching a dumb but harmless movie to kinda forget about things for a couple hours. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do that. Thank you.

These are just suggestions, but what if you just told yourself, "hey, world, I need a break". I know it's hard to find time for yourself. But what if you did it at night? Your wife and kid, they're both asleep and you've already decided, tomorrow is going to be a sick day, this is my time, and so you put on Real Steel and just become immersed? After that, watch another one. Or a whole series on Netflix. Turn that day upside down. Then, when you wake up, you'll feel like a different person.

  I will keep that in mind. I'm up late working a lot lately, maybe a night to just watch a stupid movie instead and sleep in is just what I need.

    It's rare to find these thoughtful and sincerely kind threads on the internet these days, but this thread, the one you started, really touched me. HN is truly a wonderful and magnificent place in this wide cosmos of ones and zeroes. Thank you a lot, rubyist5eva, for being such a valuable member of the community and for starting this immensely valuable thread. What you did isn't easy, sharing one's own low points in life, but you did so anyway and made a lot of peoples day! Thank you for being you, keep at it and allow yourself a break now and then. You got this.

      I'm guilty of the odd shitpost or troll, or forgetting that there is an actual person with feelings on the other side of a heated internet argument - but this thread gave me pause and kind let me re-center myself. Something that's been difficult given the circumstances of the passed two years. I'm going to try to be better.
