There's been a couple other threads here recently about the apparent "existential crisis" some people are having these days.

A lot of commenters tell those people that the reason they're struggling is because they made the mistake of having their identity be defined by their job.

Your post made me wonder if stories like yours is how that whole I-am-my-job-and-my-job-is-me entanglement starts.
