Consulting Associate here. Started strong, but now I feel like I'm drowning in a toxic work environment. Projects are scarce, my manager is useless, and the office is a gossip-filled nightmare. Mental health is also taking a hit. On top of it all, I feel a layoff is coming. Should I start looking for a new job or just ride it out?

Sorry to hear all that. Yes, definitely, you should be putting out feelers and activating any network you have to start to find something else. Even if the layoff doesn't come to pass, it sounds like the environment you're in is a mess, so go find something better.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
