Yes. Having commitments makes me anxious. I’m bored and want to get out, but don’t want to do anything at the same time

Wife and I (about 33 year old) are immigrants working in Seattle on work visa and have 1 infant. Our combined household income is $450k with no debt and about $500k in savings (cash, stocks, 401k all inclusive). We are looking to buy a house but quite confused as to what should be our budget. Any suggestions on where to draw the line on how much to spend will be super helpful.

Consulting with Clinical Depression has made me feel like a massive fraud. I CRUMBLE at the thought of client presentations (I freak out) and avoid being vocal in client meetings in fear of saying something stupid. I have had moments where I feel a little comfortable and confident in engagements, however generally I don’t feel confident at all.
I’ve been thinking about it much more lately from formal feedback from several projects that I’m not vocal enough and that I do offer good insights

This daylight savings time suck. I do not understand why states follow agrarian schedules. It is a service economy for crying out loud.

Started a new job about a month ago at a REAALLY good firm. The overall job is very difficult and tough to learn. I’m somewhat understanding it but having a hard time, the support/training is there but at the end of the day having a hard time with trying to grasp it all. Would really appreciate any advice on organization/staying focused or trying to learn a new job and staying optimistic without looking weak.

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate so much and feel very lucky to have a job BUT I am losing all the energy and excitement regardles of the project. Every day I struggle with going back to this consulting work. I just don't have the energy to focus (this is not the case for other things and side hustles). I manage to keep it down and deliver but I fear it's a matter of time until I fail. Trying to find an exit/job but had 1 interview in 3 months. I feel trapped and guilty for feeling this.

Feeling so anxious and quite honestly impatient waiting on job applications. I know I should keep applying but I'm a little confused for why I have so many just outstanding (10+).

I have my first ever therapist visit tomorrow. I feel weirdly anxious. Any thoughts when you guys had your first visit? My suicidal thoughts have been getting much worse so really need this visit.

Have been getting feedback that I know the answer when called upon, but don't present with confidence in a more general conversation, leading to distrust among key clients (i.e. presenting well but with low confidence) I feel over the years my confidence has eroded due to the negativity bias in the industry. What approaches do you take to look/ be more confident?
