The one thing is people who spew stuff like this are usually good ones to stay away from. They're usually the most venomous.

Sleep poorly, wake, get highly caffeinated and work. Repeat.

I make fun of a lot of stuff here but this one is spot on.
Hang out with good people. Ones who bring you up, not pull you down.
Be with people who are like good food who nurture you, not some convince food that brings you nothing but regret.

I wish I quit my career early on. 20+ years later I'm miserable and insane.

My schedule changed in the last few years where I work every shit in the course of a week. I start on afternoons, move to mornings, and finish with a midnight shift within 5 days. I don't have time to do anything.

I went to the gym 6 days a week for about 3 years. I hated it. I got up at 1:45 AM some days to fit it in my schedule. I tried bullshitting myself that it made me feel better, but it never did. I think about shit while I exercised and would leave the gym angry. Hated every aspect of that fucking place.

Exercise has never once helped my mood. Made it worse usually.

Yeah it did.
I got into a career that literally on day one I knew was a mistake. I kept listening to "it's going to get better" and "give it a chance", so I did.
Years went by, and it was still awful. I wanted to get out...I got the same "going to get better speech".
I've done it now for 22 years. I have no friends, paranoia, exhaustion, and live in outright misery. Now I'm told "you're almost able to retire".
I think I know how this will end.

One of the worst feelings in life is working hard to be where you want and finding it's awful.

Thanks. If I didn't have a passion for my job I wouldn't care. Everyday I work it's like the movie Idiocracy. You'd think after 21 years you'd get numb to it, but I'm not. Every time I think things are going to improve I just end up disappointed. I tried to lead change and that did nothing but paint a target on my back.

Dude they do it. Where I work there are people who they just don't like from day one and they make their lives miserable. Notice the wrong thing, unturn the wrong stone, or speak out about the wrong thing you're done.
I work in a safety related field in transportation. It's a joke and everyone involved knows and nobody will do shit about it.
