I'm watching the repeat of that episode now. The parallels are surreal.
Something I've noticed on My600Lb.Life, Deathfat YouTubers of all stripes. They all overuse the word 'journey' but another word that is rapidly making see me red is "overwhelming". Why is it every damned thing they are supposed to do to try & improve their own health & lives, even when it's entirely their own idea is OVERWHELMING. Christ on a crutch, I swear having to answer the phone is overwhlemeeeeeeeeeeeeen to all of them.
Ohhh yes. I have a couple of shitty little snowflake employees try and pull this one on me a few times. My standard response is to say "its normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes; most people do. The best thing to do is to shift your focus from yourself and your feelings and immerse yourself in the task at hand or focus on other people". They hate it, but I'm fucked if I am paying staff to throw pity-party tantrums because they have learned to get away with this kind of bullshit. They've become so accustomed to whining about being overwhelmed/their anxiety and expecting everyone to back down and give them a magic pass card. In my experience, the ones who genuinely have problems are usually too mortified to even discuss it and don't go round whining about being overwhelmed. I'm kinder to those ones.
