I work a job and people are often angry, frustrated, and sometimes yelling. I get these cortisol spikes daily as a result. I can’t afford to quit the job right now.
The cortisol spikes lead me to crave low quality food. I have considered a GLP-1.
For someone like me, I realize that in a better situation, I wouldn’t deal with many cortisol spikes at work and then crave eating garbage and too much garbage. I understand the rationality behind your logic.
But still I am not sure I see a better option. My job is a 40 hour a week job and pays the bills. I don’t have major skills in another area and have some problems in my resume.
I suppose I could retrain, but the problem is there would eventually be a period with no cash coming in and then things become risky.
I believe these cortisol spikes are directly causing some of my cravings. They probably have other horrible impacts too. I take antiinflammatory medication every day that I work to try to prevent inflamation, but that is also risky.
Do you suggest for me a GLP-1 is a bad idea? In our capitalist society, in which I can’t temporarily opt out of working without fear of homelessness, GLP-1 seems like a necessary evil.
Economic class factors into the equation. I can afford the cheapest GLP-1 while working. I can’t afford to stop working.
