I guess it could be. It seems to have gotten worse with each job I held.

I’m doing a bit better now, not having any work. But I’m not sure how to start a new job and keep it sustainable.

I’m really afraid of feeling this absolute exhaustion again and having to quit again.

Feels more like anxiety and fear to me, which eventually leads me to a shutdown and depression like symptoms.

I think that’s the best way to describe it.

Have you found anything that works for you to rebound quickly?

I think the period I worked from home was actually quite uncomfortable for me.

Initially it felt great, having more control over my environment and being able to take breaks at will.

But i also noticed that I spend way too much time on my computer. So i went from working to gaming and browsing without a moment in between.

At the moment it feels like I burned out myself on screen usage.

And I found it very hard to make friends or get to know people better. I’m already not good at this, but only having snippets of time with my colleagues combined with staying at home after hours meant that i basically had no moments to make new friends or spend time with the few people I know.

Makes it difficult to enjoy WFH now.

How do you do this at work though? Is nobody going to find it strange or all about it when you take such a break?

And how to actually have the break if you are in a busy/loud/uncomfortable environment?

I think i could build in some more breaks when working from home, but at work it’s almost impossible. I just don’t feel safe/comfortable at work, so I can’t really take a proper break.

Usually I work pretty regular hours 9-5/6. I find it difficult to cope with the fact that so many hours in a day are dedicated to working for somebody else, so i find it even harder to spend more time on maintenance activities to compensate for the fact that I’m working all day.

I’m really impressed by people that go to the gym early morning or straight after work.

Currently not working though. So I could easily fit in some exercise, but keeping the routine after going back to work is always the difficult part.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I can’t say I’m really doing a lot of sports. But I do hike a lot these days (the advantage is not having a job atm)

Usually I don’t feel much difference though. (Apart from physical tiredness and my skin feeling burned and dry, I dont deal well with the sun)

Do you think high intensity exercise will make a big difference? I’m a bit scared I’ll do something wrong since I quickly start feeling pain in my neck or knees when doing exercise.

So difficult to tell how much is too much, but still so enough to benefit from it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Seems like he just smashed through the wall.

So what is this about?

Why would NixOS need a fork? Something happened in the community?

Celestial cards

With celestial cards, do you mean spectral cards? I was thinking that celestial cards and planet cards refer to the same thing.

I don't have any bad will towards churches and think there are members which really help the local community in many ways.

But I never grew up with any religion, so it would be weird for me to join and participate in such a community.

This I could do. But where do you find places nearby which are teaching/helping refugees?

That’s pretty interesting. I can’t imagine it being very well paid though, but I wouldn’t know.

I’m actually quite good with PowerPoint. Even made templates in the past.

But I think it would be better to do something with more social contact at the moment. I already do a lot of programming and it would be nice to meet more people in this new city and not spend too much time behind my computer.

Alfred’s teach yourself adult book

Thanks for the suggestion!

I never remember names of songs or artists, so I find it difficult to find some nice song to play and sing to. I vaguely remember wanting to play rocket man because it would be nice to be able to play and sing at the same time.

Amazing that you managed to play for your family and got people to sing with you, that's already much further than I ever got.

ok, so seems like I will have to use a double bang then. It does not seem match ddg bangs 1:1 though. And some don't seem to be working correctly on my instance (E.g. !!mc for metacritic redirects to the wrong page)

This surprised me about lemmy actually. When posting something to reddit, it would usually get lost in other posts. And I'd have to try and posting it at another time or with a better title.

Here people always seems to reply, and with very helpful suggestions most of the time. I had this experience with all my posts.

It seems like the quality and amount of useful replies is much better on lemmy compared to reddit.

No disc golf options nearby sadly. Martial arts , I have a few options. I think there is an aikido and a jijutsu dojo nearby.

Prices are pretty high for classes here though. I’m also not sure what kind of martial arts i would enjoy. I tried judo and Brazilian jijutsu in the past, but found it a bit difficult to enjoy.

Cycling can be such a great way to extend your range of activities without having to pay a lot! My new place is quite bikeable. Although there are places which I would rather avoid, especially closer to the city center.

I really dislike searching online for good second hand options though. Seems like most people here use facebook marketplace, and I'd rather avoid spending too much time browsing for the right bike. (I'm pretty tall. so not always easy to find something.)

This sounds pretty nice actually. I really like the concept of openstreetmaps and I'm surprised what kind of details you can find on it. Do you know if anything like street complete exists for iOS? Unfortunately my current phone is not an android, but might switch to one in the future.

How do you find the interesting places to explore though? I feel like google maps is very good for searching specific things, but when I just want to look around there are too many irrelevant locations. And as far as I know, there is no option to filter out specific things (like don't show restaurants or retail stores for example)

What kind of songs did you learn with? I had a bit of classical training, but those songs very often use the full range of the piano. Or at least have a low bas line and use the higher notes for melody.

Would be nice to learn some pop songs or other well known things which are easy to play on a small keyboard. But I don't really know if there are any resources with some songs to start.
