Goodness, I certainly know that struggle on the balancing of mental health. I'm glad that there's at least greater current recognition of the need to balance it -- even if accessibility of resources can remain an issue, depending on where someone is.

But yeah, a good sense of community and support may hopefully help somewhat with that -- and for what little part that any internet comments may play in that greater goal, I hope we can provide a bit of such here on the Fediverse, especially (as relevant here) on PeerTube instances such as this one, to complement the experiences of the wider world.

Like you I’ve not touched LLMs for all the reasons you stated, and never will. I work freelance, I’d rather turn a job down, or quit a contract I’m already working, than be required to use LLMs in my day job.

Wishing you well now, and in the future!
