Yeah, life long sufferer of severe anxiety and depression here. This stuff makes me nuts, it's trivializing and condescending. I'm not saying ppl need to suffer in silence, but read the room and know the world is bigger than your own little experience. This is like saying you're a "hashtag cancer survivor" because you had a lesion removed ffs.

Had a roommate that had mini whiteboards all around the room and the house that she'd update weekly.

So I'm not gonna get an Ick for someone spreading awareness but will for something generic like this

Omg that's me with the white boards 🤣if you can't see it, you don't know it. You don't know it, you don't do it.

I’m guessing poster was just sharing what has work for them and overcoming certain obstacles. In hopes of maybe helping someone else who has been dealing with the same thing. It’s just their observation showing because they have been comparing things and how they made it work. I’m sure there is someone out there that will find that information useful. I have several ADHD/autism young people in my life. They operate in the same manner I think if they were aware that it works for others in a different arena it would give them more confidence.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

Hello everybody,

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.
