To be fair my life feels like an old Woody Allen movie. Like I have definitely first hand experienced a rotary fan blowing a pile of cocaine in someone’s face!!

My professional circle would be my coworkers at a well-known HFT, and my extended network that is very similar. Everyone is well compensated and many reach out for professional help to deal with the stress. Many also seem to vastly prefer a paid therapist to their spouse, for instance. I’m not married but I can understand not wanting to burden your loved ones!

My personal circle is, well, a lot of technical people, engineers of various stripes, and what I guess I’d call a sort of “standard cast of characters” there? Not sure how best to put this into words?

Honestly it sounds like we’re handling it better than your after-the-fact help! Perhaps you all need to simply start at the first warning sign not the first episode that becomes public?
