    Damn that’s nuts. I worked 96 hours a week (5 8 hour shifts at one job and 7 8 hour shifts at another) for a while when I was younger and I was only sleeping 2-3 hours a day on the five overlap days. That wasn’t sustainable at all and burned me out in six months or so. Clearly you were doing even more, I’m shocked you lived. I hope things are better for you now.

      I could only last qbout 8 months doing it all. I kinda didnt survive it. Really changed who I was yet again in my life. But yeah I just got on a boat and sailed away from it all. Worked somewhere that gave me food housing and a routine till I could get better and I would say I am and things are. Thank you. Fuck lack of sleep.

        Glad to hear your doing better at least. In my case, I had lost nearly everything I owned due to a catastrophe, so I was just trying to grind my way to being able to have a normal, if not poor life again. Luckily I was able to find an apartment that had a “$200 moves you in!” promotion, and I had roughly $200 to my name so I avoided actual homelessness.
