Does anyone else feel like their anxiety levels are high? I feel like I have so much work but I just want to have a chill summer and relax before things pick up again in the fall. But it’s causing me anxiety knowing that I have so much to do.

My anxiety levels have been at an all time high ever since WFH started

like

Yes, I feel like we all really need a chill summer after such an intense busy season / extra projects that have resulted in long hours but with the offices so understaffed on the staff / senior levels the workload is so much higher on a per person basis. Had a fully staffed senior on my team get pulled onto another team because they don’t have enough seniors for walkthroughs… which is not a good sign for the next busy season

Yes. I've been so anxious lately juggling 5 projects where I'm the senior and the manager. I try to focus on what I need to do today. To-do list for the day. Blocking off time on my calendar to get things done. Putting in calendar reminders to send out XYZ or follow up with ABC.

Unfortunately when I get in this spot, I just don’t get as much done as I should because I just keep thinking about everything I have to do

Yup. I have found being super structured helps me get through-I make daily schedules and it keeps the anxiety lower

Yes. And I’m trying to cram in unused holidays and vacation time but so much to do I end up at my desk anyway

We at RSM have unlimited PTO. I never lose vacation days. I don't have any to lose!

Yes I get this too, but often there are a few key items that really need to get done that don’t require overtime. If I force myself to knock those out then I feel better. If I slack and don’t get them done then I feel really stressed and like I can’t take time off.

Same here. I feel like I have not had a slow day since we started WFH.

Highest they’ve ever been. And I don’t have anxiety

Every time I attempt to mediate, my mind wanders to my to-do list or other things that start stressing me out and defeat the purpose of meditating in the first place. Does this not happen to anyone else? How do you block out going to the stressful places in your brain?

Below are my thoughts rn: Man, I’m 28 and such a bum. I work a job I hate, I have no social circle. I have never had a gf. All these things are so challenging because I’m autistic. I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.

Has anyone had roommates who got sick with Covid and they managed to not catch it from them? If so, what precautions did you take?

I am the only one who touches the fridge and takes his food out so he can eat. What else can we really do?

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!
