sigh sorry orangutans. it was nice to share a planet with you for a while.
Donât worry, if global heating continues weâll have a new habitat ready for them in Newfoundland in no time⌠
There has been a bit of backlash here in 
⌠âbuttergateâ is attracting political attention.
For all our faults, we donât always legislate the hell out of everything here, I really do expect that a hard stare from politicians will largely solve this. Dairy farmers enjoy generous protections for their businesses here, a system with broad public support. At worst, they wonât risk losing that support. The alternative is the 
system of hormone-infused, low profit margin dairy farming with a high bankruptcy rate which is⌠an uninspiring option.

I hate to ask but what happened to the dedicated thread about this?

Yeah, @ficuswhisperer made a dedicated thread about it because i remember leaving my own comment so maybe they deleted it themselves? I am reluctant bringing this up in case it was deleted for good reason.

The family asked that this not be made too public. There is a very large readership here, not all of whom are here in good faith.

Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) commented on the results of the study on Twitter.
âIncompetent, inexperienced, Sokos cashier, girl, girl government, lipstick government, pantyhose government, intimidation, hate speech, online shaming. Yes, women lead the government. Get over it.â

Currently sitting at a doctor, waiting for an appointment, because I canât take it any more. Job and pandemic-related stress are overwhelming. Still have the feeling of running away when calling in sick, and leaving my projects in limbo. Iâm responsible for multiple projects spanning until and beyond 2025, and i am the only one who actually knows what is going on, but I also already lost control. I am the single point of failure. I flagged all of this to late. Now, when my superiors start actual controlling/coordination, I am in no state to deal with the pressure. So I am at a doctor, asking for their opinion to get sick leave.
Donât be like me. If you feel overwhelmed, search help early.
ETA: venting my stress online didnât help, but turned into an additional procrastination. Even getting emotional support from strangers, like on the BBS, now feels like an excuse not to act on the problem. Which might be ADS, or something else.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. The actual ICD-10 I got is an insult, and the doc was as empathetic as a fence post, but the result is that I have some breathing room. That counts.
Going to see the real practitioner next week.

Whatâs that thing the cool kids say? âI feel seen.â
My 2020 started in early 2019, and I am still rebuilding myself.
Seeking help from others? Thanks for the info, I should look into this new idea.

Sorry to hear, and can relate.
14.10.2019, in my case. Early new year, and not a happy one.
Hope youâll cope. At least, you are still pushing that rock uphill, I assume.
