Honestly, I don't think I would survive without working because I need something to get my mind off of things. Work always does that for me, when I am home I never want to do anything. I am usually on the couch watching TV, reading or napping but when I go to work I am interacting with people I don't have time to think about things that will hurt me.
The world can be cruel, I encounter so many narcistic people who drain the life out of me. I need a vacation... emotionally I am drained.
