The "Ex-colleague with a liver disease" sent a chill through my spine. Was he an Ex-colleague because he was fired for being sick 👀👀👀? Was he healing himself or was he desperate not to die? There's a difference.
Work can be meaningful, therapeutic, or simply a useful tool for coping. That doesn't mean it should be the only tool, nor should it be relied on without clinical guidance, nor should it be the expectation.
Talk-therapy might not be for everyone, work therapy certainly isn't. The complete lack of empathy and humanization in the post is disgusting.
