So bad. And for me, what happened mentally was that I developed anxiety, severe anxiety, like panic attacks at work type severe anxiety, and, um, as well as, uh, PTSD from working. So I have been diagnosed with having PTSD, and I call it my corporate PTSD. And I have healed from it by not going back to corporate. So I don't know if it's healing or avoidance, but it's one of the two. So that's just kind of like where, where I've been and where I've experienced the mental toll that shrinking has cost me besides the financial toll. Like, the financial was enough, and the financial led to a whole nother mental meltdown when I actually calculated Um, the million— the over a million dollars worth of lost wages. So when you're shrinking, you're losing out mentally.
