My brother took his own life in September of last year. I will never get over it. Others in his life were massively affected by his death, including people he probably wouldn’t have guessed even cared. Not looking for sympathy, just wanted to illustrate that you never actually know who cares and who would be devastated. Ideally, we’d all tell each other all the time that we care, but it often doesn’t happen that way. So just so you know, OP, I’m a stranger but I care what happens to you. I hope you choose to stick around. I bet you have people who love you and would miss you terribly.

I understand. Depression doesn’t respond to logic. It’s a dark place to be in. I hope it eases for you soon.

I think people would notice but be over it within a week (besides my parents)

Yea… same here. My parents and brothers would notice, but other than that, no one else would.

I know it's easy to think that we aren't making a huge impact to the world or even the people immediately surrounding us. But you definitely are in ways you may not notice or be told directly.

I hope so… it just doesn’t feel like it.

I think your family and friends would notice. But work? They would be over you in a week.

Not the type of response that I think we should be giving in a Depression/Anxiety talk bowl.

When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people.

I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
