It seems the standard wisdom is to suggest the problem could not possibly be something wrong with this thing you call work. No, the problem must be all you, Phil, and your mental illness -- that's all it could be. How could it be something like economic oppression in the workplace -- you're virutally powerless to change that.
I've been advised that the proper course of action is to claim suicidal tendencies, admit myself to a hospital, use the admittance as a ticket to receive disability payments and ... well, I've not been told what comes after that. I'm suspicious that the same lack of purpose that afflicts me now will continue if my purposeless life were publicly subsidized. I'm finding a brief glimmer of purpose in corresponding here with people who report similar syndromes, but I'm being told I have no legitimate reason to exist here, either.
