This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?
I would avoid inducting chemicals into the body via anti-depressants and instead focus on life style changes and incorporate mindfulness/meditation, working out, pick up a new creative hobby (instrument, theatre, dance), journal and write down your thoughts, de clutter and make organized to do lists. Having chemical meds will only get you into a vicious cycle and perpetuate anxiety and depression. As someone who has been through depression for years, these are just my thoughts.
I have BP I. I have been in a depressive state for 4 months now and it gets worse day by day. All I can say is hang in there.
Partner hang in there.
Pwc 1 that is a dangerous stmt to make especially for people that are bi polar. I watched my daughter when she is off meds or the Drs tried it and ended up in hospitalization, self harm cutting the wrists and suicidal. Lithium along with lifestyle changes and DBT have been the saving graces.
Every day in public accounting is a bipolar day
Partner op 1 agree with your comment on EY 1. Ey 1 come to my house come sit with my husband and myself while you have your child admitted four times to a hospital for being suicidal, self harm eg cutting and depression. Watch and try to comfort the other families with a child like yours.
What’s causing the depression? I feel like I’m extremely bipolar too - I go from being super happy one day to super sad. Usually it’s because I let other people affect my mood
One more thing: do not go off your meds unless your psychiatrist says to. I spontaneously stopped taking my mood stabilizers so many times that my boyfriend makes me take them in front of him everyday.
No but my child is and out of that diagnosis came my spouse's diagnosis of a mood disorder.
BDO my child is too. Pre meds with her was rough - cycles were by the day. She’s so much better now that we have her meds right.
Us too. Once we got her Lithium level and other meds right she is stable for last year. Took four hospitalizations and DBT.
I’m bipolar. Most bipolar people are depressed most of the time rather than manic. Standard anti-depressants don’t work for bipolar depression. Low doses of seroquel do work
EY1 that’s pretty ignorant.
