I've completely rejected grind culture from my life when I essentially used to be the embodiment of toxic productivity. Am I behind on my bills and rent? Yes. Am I still a stress case? Also yes. However:

I can feel the stress slowly declining and my ability to emotionally regulate improving.

I'm also taking more time to care for myself and I'm forging a deeper connection with my partner again.
