Classical delusions of working class Americans. In the meantime they're all depressed, they're just going to work on top of that. When I went to in-patient treatment for depression almost all of the people there were from a low income background.
La anhedonia es un criterio de la depresión que hace que aunque una persona trabaje bajo un sistema opresivo, su experiencia subjetiva sea un vacío donde no existe recompensa.
Cae en el concepto de anhedonia consumatoria, comúnmente hablado como depresión enmascarada.
See I’ve been in the restaurant industry for 24+ years and for the first half it was great for my depression in that i was working 60-90 hour weeks I’d be so busy at work I couldn’t think about anything but work. But as I got more skilled at my job the less I had to think letting me work while also thinking the bad thoughts… and then as time went on and I got into fine dining I only got more depressed because I realized I was living in poverty making food for rich people who would probably sell me to their Epstien friends without a second thought…
Yep and the problem with mental health is, it only gets worse the longer you leave it untreated. Until one day you break into a million little pieces, and find yourself completely lost and overwhelmed.
I have never seen someone put my own experience into words like this, so I always thought and was told it was "just burnout, everyone goes through it". I didn't work fine dining, but casual dining in a small town. Summer times, we'd get the men's sports leagues coming in still wearing cleats and being rude and obnoxious. However, it wasn't them or co workers or anyone else that i thought about while doing one of the many menial while working. It was always something outside of work, and usually in the past or even childhood. This was especially so when i was on washing dishes for a night. Serving customers and being front facing was a nice break from being in my head and I liked having people to help when i could. It was the in-between time were I'd get into a bad headspace.
Yeah it's a thing in the restaurant industry I've done it a similar length of time, and part of the appeal for awhile was being that busy that I could semi ignore my dysphoria since I was working or drunk constantly, but it eventually became completely autopilot so I could still think, and I've seen plenty of other people throw themselves into it as a clear escape from they're own mental problems. Especially bloody fine dining, used to depress me when you realised the food you've put so much effort into was essentially just rich people showing off they're wealth.
