2. Thanks. I suppose there is some aspect of romanticizing to it...

And again I tell myself that the reality would be hell. Summer might not be too bad but fall and winter around here would be a soggy cold mess. And of course it's dangerous out there, especially for the new guys. I've been dealing with a lot of physical and emotional exhaustion these last few months. I sleep 12 to 14+ hours a day and still only have energy to do a few small tasks. I'm seeing a DR about this but so far nothing definitive aside from bad liver enzyme numbers which are probably to do with binge drinking which I stopped for now. This exhaustion has made it even more difficult than normal to rationally think about things. For example I think to myself well if I'm going to end up on the street like this then I'll just start drinking again and between the exhaustion sleep and drinking I won't really care since I'll be asleep most of the time. But I know that wouldn't actually feel good.
