I am so sad.

I keep getting told there's no promotion on the cards for me, but I get great feedback, I know I'm GREAT at my job.

To be honest I would rather be doing something else - I work in conference organisation (actually more fun than it sounds), I would rather work in an NGO doing international development or similar. Or be a writer (I haven't written anything in years).

I so so want to lose weight. I'm trying. I have adenomyosis and it's just hard sometimes. My period just ended & I feel worthless & alone.

I'm doing a bachelors degree & doing exceptionally well (the lowest grade I've had all year - 93%). But it doesn't matter because I should have done this degree ten years ago - I'm 32. Back then I dropped out because of a brief episode of psychosis (the only episode) it messed my life up for years.

My dog doesn't love me. He is a nasty gremlin. A sweet little devil. He just wants to bite me, but he can't because his mouth is so weak & small. He is an angel. I gave him some salmon.

Due to the sale - the Aeron is suddenly within budget, but only if I go for the options in pic / title. It gets too expensive if I go for the adjustable options.

I tried the Mirra 2 today and liked it, but I did find it to be very upright, I almost felt pushed forward. Other than that though it seems great. It's fully within budget.

Thoughts?

I bought this Herman Miller Verus chair a couple of weeks ago. I am not impressed with it, though I know nothing about chairs, but I'm still getting tailbone pain and it just doesn't feel that comfortable / doesn't seem to support me in a great posture. My company reimbursed me for the cost and it was £700. This means if I return it on my card I have £700 pounds to play with to get a new or refurbished chair.

I've read through all the recommendations here on reddit and online, and just keep going around in circles. I've also ensured that the chair is adjusted correctly.

I'm 5ft 7, 160lb. What should I look for or focus on in a new chair? Any advice from anyone who has tried the Verus and also been unimpressed? I feel overwhelmed by the amount of choice, but I'm limited time-wise in making a decision here as I need to return it before the return period ends.
