I've been on Reddit a long time. I'm kind of desensitized to harsh and abusive comments. On the other hand, the comments might be honest. To someone who havent experienced or heard about burnout, it is the expected reaction (minus the resent). "You sound like just a weak person." Well, yes. That was the point of my post. The pressure was more than I could handle, and I got sick from it. "You should try farming some time. What you described is what a farmer would think of as 'retirement'" I know farming means lots of hard work and little free time. My grandfather was a milk farmer, and could hardly ever get away from home. The cows needs milking every day of the week, early in the morning. They also are under a lot of stress from events out of their control. Particularly the weather. The greatest difference might be that farming is not necessarily a very creative field (pun intended). Most of the tasks are rather mindless, while a programmer simply can't produce if the min is not clear.
