I guess this is more for those of us who come from worlds where there's some catastrophe or some world-ending thing happening and you're generally working to try and save your world from aforementioned catastrophe ...
I've been here for a few months now, and I kind of feel like I don't know what to do with myself. I went from having too much to do, too much to worry about, and now I'm in a position where I don't have that anymore (with the exception of the occasional weirdness that happens here, of course). I think I've read enough books that I've probably caused myself some major eye strain in the months I've been here, but otherwise I'm not exactly sure what to do with myself.
Does anyone else feel kind of like this? I think it might help me feel better to know I'm not alone in this.

What did you do before? You know, that you're doing again now.

zombies
and zombie apocalypses
i worked in the news. tv news production specifically. i've been bouncing around different stations and networks here but i'm getting pretty similar works. news is news anyway.

Zombies don't sound great, yeesh. I guess being here would definitely be better than that.
no subject
Yep. Mine are... different from the stories? But still pretty bad. tbh I'm still deciding if being kidnapped by aliens is much better, but NOT almost dying all the time is still nice.
no subject
I understand the almost dying all the time mentality ... Sounds similar to what was going on back home. I keep expecting I'm going to have to fight something or someone at any moment and it's kind of annoying to keep having that sort of fight-or-flight response even when you're in a place that's mostly peaceful.

[Her answer feels short. Partly because it's a little surreal to talk about this with other people - at least people besides the one other person here from her world. Not unwelcome, but different.]

It does help a lot to know that I'm definitely not the only one feeling this way, though. Thanks for talking with me.
