Post No. 2,721 - Recovering from a corporate life - Episode 27: the initial holiday part of retirement is over

For anyone distressed by anything in this post, or for any other reason considering seeking support, resources are available in Australia here, here, and here. In other nations, you will have to do an Internet search using terms such as “mental health support - <your nation>” (which, for instance, may lead to this, this, and this, in the USA, or this, this, and this, in France [biased towards English-language - my apologies]), or perhaps try https://www.befrienders.org/.  

Posts in this series are now listed at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/recovering-from-corporate-life.html. 

PS - expect these to be eddited fairly often. Writing these is part of the healing process, and will bring up more insights,etc.

Well, it has been six months, and ... I feel that the holiday part of retirement (or the initial holiday part, at any rate) is over. 

I haven’t healed fully from half a century of working in an ultra-conservative (backward) profession and corporate environment, but I have healed enough to start doing a few more things in life - such as resuming my gardening activities, and getting back into exercise ... which was initially good, but then fell away as the bottled up accumulations unbottled themselves ... (and I have been able to do more housework - partly as a result of having more time)  

So ... heere’s to whatever comes next 😁

Blessed be.

I am writing this series in the hope that it will contribute to a better understanding - or at least better research into the effects of - the so-called developed world’s economic systems - which are based on the world-destroying amathia of perpetual growth, and patriarchal oligarchical capitalism expressed as often expressed corporatism and neoliberalism.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
