Working to escape

what do you mean escape life? life is everywhere

"what do you mean escape life? life is everywhere" --Great line. Agreed 100x.

I threw myself into my work whenever I was upset about some other aspect of my life that I couldn't/didn't know how to escape, so I could take my mind off of it.

When my bf of 7 years and I broke it off (we had been living together for almost the entire time), I was so depressed and dejected I would work for 12 hours concentrating on nothing but work, pausing briefly for lunch, where I would retreat into the furthermost corner of our common break area and quietly cry into my sandwich for ten minutes.

It'll pass. Good luck to you.

I used to do that, and i was very successful because of it.
Only now that I've sorted my shit out, I've become lazy, and things have gone downhill. Now I actually have a reason to complain.

You can't escape it. Life like death, follows you around like a shadow.

I was doing all the overtime offered at work to escape life but eventually it burnt me out and I had a breakdown.

It's normal, but not right. Sometimes I don't feel like leaving work, because I feel like work take's my mind off of a lot of thing's that I don't wanna face when I leave work.

Yes I totally agree with this. Sometimes 8
I'll sleep in just to avoid getting up and dealing with my life.

No join the rest of us!
