Hi Fishes, Can Anyone please tell, one of my friend joined Tech M in August, At the time of joining she was 3 months pregnant and now shes worrying about her manager. She wants to inform them about her pregnancy; is it right time to inform? Or she needs to wait for 6 more months for that to inform? Anyone please clearify..

Ugh first, I feel for you and SO sorry you’re going through this. Breakups suck and it sucks even more when you just need support from friends and family but you’re working all the time. Went through the same thing and worst part was he was a coworker so I was constantly hearing about his current girlfriend (he didn’t tell me he started dating someone else and called her his gf).
Below are things that got me through: Making lists and forcing myself to get through those goals every day. I also had a close friend at work know about this and help me go out to grab coffee and get a breather once in a while (almost every day...she’s the best). One of my work mentors knew I was going through a hard time on something personal (did not know the details) so was understanding and helped me focus. Also helped to have an office to sit in and be able to chat to someone.
I also limited my working hours even if it’s busy season. Schedule dinners and weekend plans with your support system. I knew I also needed time to rest so I only scheduled one dinner/event during weekdays and tried to get out even for an hour or two to meet up with friends both Sat and Sun. I also had 2-3 close friends who I rotated calling when I’m having an especially tough time (I think I called them the first 2 weeks but it got better after that). Sleeping and eating were the hardest part but at some point I just forced myself to eat and was so tired I’d fall asleep.
If you exercise now keep that up - definitely helps a lot. Days I exercised were much better than days I didn’t. If you don’t exercise pick a fun new sport and try it out!
Those were things that helped me and hopefully one of those will also help you. Life sucks sometimes, but I’m rooting for you to get your life back and be happy again! PM me if you need to chat as well. I’d happily offer support.
Friends were the key for me I had to change the “routine” around a lot but once I found out how to occupy time with more social gatherings and just talking to friends more I felt a lot better. I remembered that before my ex I was just as happy and complete, and I didn’t need to wake up next to this person every morning anymore. I also picked up a few hobbies (like more advanced cooking) and that helped also.
Moping around at home is easy and honestly you probably need it initially. Perfectly normal. But an excessive amount I think won’t help esp if you’re giving up other things you could be doing because you feel sad
Oh yeah absolutely! I gave myself 2 days to stay home and randomly cry because I hated his guts lol and didn’t want to waste more time than that. Then set a goal to move on with my life!
Busy season is the best time to get through it!!! You need to focus on your work cause it needs to get down, you spend tons of tons of time around your coworkers, and lastly what you really have time is just to sleep! Keep yourself busy and around people. You will get through it just fine!!
Thanks for the support y’all. Honestly my friends have been the only thing getting me through it, I don’t know what I’d do without them. It was a complete shock so trying to wrap my head around everything has been very tough. I thought this guy was it
Ouch that’s so rough. I’m glad you’re wrapping your head around it instead of refusing to accept reality. That’s a necessary but very tough step and you’re already doing it. Good for you!
Going through the same thing right now and he’s a coworker ugh it’s awful!
Stay home crying is a waste of time, looking back I can say that. But when it happened, wandering at home and crying randomly for about a week made me realize that it's beautiful outside, until the moment you realize it's a waste of time, you would start to find solution to heal
Agreed but crying helps me relieve feelings. I just set a time for myself knowing that I need those 2 days to cry and feel sorry for myself before I keep going with my life.
I’m so sorry! This happened to me last month. I took two days off (one being a Sunday) to cry in bed and then cry while running errands. Everything is really tiring, but I highly recommend a motivational or deep quote as your phone lock screen and a playlist that is kind to you.
How are you doing? 💕
