    If you don’t mind poor sleep with horrible nightmares, waking up in a soaking wet bed, several times every single night, then sure. If you don’t mind not being able to go to a supermarket or store. Or having panic episodes or re-living the horrors randomly for no reason. Being bored shitless because you can’t leave the house, dont feel like doing anything but also are restless AF. All while having an existential crisis because I’m worthless to society, have no purpose in life, no satisfaction from achievements as I have none.

    Trade?

      Wow. You have some real problems, you should probably see someone about this. I already had to live through unemployment in the EU, it’s really not so bad. None of those symptoms at least. Yes, I was happy to finally find a job, tailored to my needs.

      Thats rough. I had a fairly traumatic experience once. The result was about a month of a zombie-like state. It took me some time to discover i was having nightmares i could not remember when waking up, in addition to depression and occasional flashbacks.

      In my case it was a “normal” reaction to extreme stress since it eventually improved. Having to live like that would not be fun. Ill deal with having to go to work instead.
