After years and years of hard work, my husband and I, for years and years, he had gone to law school and then worked in a law firm.
I had gotten my PhD and then worked in clinical and research settings.
We worked, you know, not 60 hours a week, probably more.
We were more like the 70, 80 hour a week type.
Driven by good things, we weren't overly obsessed with money.
We were driven by the purpose of our work, the mission of our work.
But I'd say that...
there was a lopsidedness.
We were getting a little narrow in our focus.
And the people we loved very much who were so kind we could turn to in a moment of loss or pain, good friends, lived in the same culture with us.
So our dinner parties would have a lot of talk about, well, once I make partner or if we can move over from Second Avenue to Lexington or there's a promotion coming up or I'm moving from a two to a three bedroom.
There was sort of
almost a low-grade Monopoly game going on that was narrowly achievement-oriented.
And it felt empty as a tin.
Dysthymia
is a low-grade, nagging, haunting, sort of like a milquetoast gray depression.
It's a dissatisfaction and a hedonia where things don't delight us.
We fail to experience the full delight of life.
Dysthymia is quite prevalent.
It's very prevalent in young people.
