That’s tough. It’s not the worst disease someone could have, though. My grandfather and my dad both have it (the latter hasn’t been officially diagnosed, but he has the early symptoms of it). My grandpa’s been pretty positive about it and has been doing quite well. His strength has definitely gone downhill, but he’s been persistent about working on improving, and he has gotten better at controlling some of his shakiness.

I’m feeling emotionally empty, none of the people I’m talking to on my dating apps stir anything in me, my faith in my job is non-existent and I don’t feel at all enthusiastic about my search for grad school.

From what I know of you, you’re pretty young still. Don’t give up yet, but looking for another job might be a good way to go! It’s a common human experience to go through a slump like this. Just realize that it’s generally temporary. It might help to try diagnosing the root cause. Is the daily grind of a job you don’t like keeping you down? Is it a feeling of exhaustion–do you maybe need a holiday? Is it the effect of COVID or something else going on in the world? Are you looking for meaning or fulfillment in the wrong places?
