People had two jobs and the economy was coming off a big depression, expanding rapidly, millennials were getting into the workforce with degrees...

Only ~5% of the workforce had two jobs throughout the 2010s, which is lower than previous decades.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2018/4-point-9-percent-of-workers-held-more-than-one-job-at-the-same-time-in-2017.htm?view_full

And income growth was strong by any metric, better than the 90s even!

Thus, use caution when comparing median incomes above $12,000 for people or $18,000 for families and households for different years.

Ep 4

I'm getting "you're approaching me?" vibes from that exchange

So josuke is genuinely a really nice guy, from what I can tell. But for some reason I can't like him like I do jotaro and Joseph (yet)

Koichi's okay!

OG name Bad Company?

And he has a stand!?

An egg...

That was a cool resolution. He's pretty creative too

Ep 2

This Angelo is a real piece of work, huh

I know 1 and a half DiU openings and this ain't one of them. I like it, though the one I know fully is the best one

Josuke is kinda OP so far

Oh! That's a baseball!

Dorararara is a great shout

rip :(

Yeah, Angelo isn't feeling like a series antagonist now. They're dealing with him too quickly

That's a great punishment

In case the OP didn't make it clear, I'm watching Part 4, so beware of spoilers ranging from parts 1 through 3 as well as 4

With that out of the way:

Ep 1

Nothing says slice of life like breakfast

...with a severed hand...? this got real dark real quick

I like jotaro's outfit. And I hear he's present for most of it, so I'm hoping for epic "star platinum! Toke yo tomare" action

Jotaro is a marine scientist!

And that's how this JoJo was introduced

... wait, he's Joseph's kid? So young??

time to cancel Joseph Joestar

I'm getting the vibe that josuke likes his hair. A lot

Koichi can't see stands

Shining Diamond...

Oh, that's his mum

Another stand....

Guess that's the series antagonist

If it'd help, I can offer some mindfulness exercises that other people have given to me. I find that they have a grounding effect - like when the pressure gets to be too much and you feel like you're spiralling and you can't orient yourself, the exercises put you in touch with your immediate surroundings and can help bring you back, even if it doesn't necessarily reset the clock on the entire experience. idk if that's relatable to what you're experiencing, and thus idk if they would be useful to you, but I thought I'd offer.

I'd appreciate that, thank you

It might be worth looking into burnout and crunch.

Burnout is something I struggle with, but it's not something I'd be confident seeking medical help with

MrMallard posted...
You're right to be seeking help for this, and I can empathise directly with your struggle in waiting for the support that you need. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to let us know.

During the week I wake up, shower, and go to uni (my thesis is lab-based). Once the day is done I come home, eat, watch am episode or two of anime and then it's already time for bed

Over the weekend my advisor gives me a ton of work to do by Monday. Any free time I would have had is taken up by helping my single mother care for my disabled younger brother (which, to clarify, I'm happy to do and do not consider negotiable)

Every time I try to bring up the issue that this isn't conducive to my mental health she tells me "it's like that for everyone". The university counselling services have a six week waiting list (three have passed since I made an appointment, three remain) and I'm not sure I can hold out that long without breaking down :/
