Post No. 2,832 - Recovering from a corporate “life” - Episode 32: Signs of healing - sleep and dreams (and interventions by friends etc)

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.

 

So, at around eleven months, my healing has reached the point where, for the first time in decades I am able to sleep eight hours or more at night - although that is also partly owing to being ill.

What isn't owed to illness, however, is being able to dream about creating artwork again, something else the stresses, trials and travails of work, particularly including corporate “life”.

I also wrote an overlapping post on a topic that was triggered by a comment made about my former job by someone I know, which also covered when people should/shouldn’t intervene in matters. If you wish to have a look, the details are: 

“Post No. 2,831 - “That job was destroying you””   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2024/07/post-no-2831-that-job-was-destroying-you.html     

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).
