Does anyone get emotionally overwhelmed when expressing their feelings? I can’t seem to control it and always break down into tears just trying to tell someone how I feel.

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?

How’s your work-life balance at the moment? Do you think research positions allow enough time for us to spend with friends and family?

Hello friends,

My spouse is looking for a change in manual testing.She is looking for work from home (wfh)opportunities. Actually we have a 3.5yr old ,nursery class going kid. I sometimes feel very bad whenever he returns from school and misses his mumma lot.
After marriage and pregnancy, she already had a career gap. If again going to take a gap that might be a career problem.
The solution we are looking for WFH opportunity where she can manage her motherhood loves as well as professional lfy

Got a big raise yesterday and told my wife and she was happy for me, but I didn’t share with family because I feel uncomfortable making so much more than my parents. Anyone else?

Is it bad to spend time with your SO every weekend? We’re both busy during the week so weekends are the only time we get

Mom started aggressively questioning whether we know someone died from COVID vs heart attack, and quickly got political...any advice for how to curb this? Not sure we can talk much anymore.

What if you don’t like your SO’s friends?

What duration of break is perfect for a couple to figure out if they want to break up or move forward with the relationship? Me and my boyfriend, we fight a lot over petty stuffs and have disagreements over every little things. So, we decided to take a break to decide what’s best for us.

It’s my birthday in a few minutes. 2021 has been a terrible year for me. My marriage ended. It wasn’t a bad end though. We are still close, just not romantic partners anymore. The very first dog I ever had died and I couldn’t go see her because of the quarantine. I didn’t get a promotion that I more than deserved. I don’t think I get paid well. Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.

Burnout from long hours is having a big impact on my family and my wife is asking me to consider working part-time for a while. Financially, we would be fine. I’m worried about how few opportunities there are for part-time MEs.

Working moms in Seattle… could you use a moms night out? Like leave kids with partner on a Friday night, have vent/rant session with some fellow moms, go to a rooftop bar, or Sunday morning pedicure type of hangout? If so, tell me how I can meet you?! Is there a “moms go out” club? Seattle freeze is getting to me!

26 and being pressured to get married and date by ethnic extend family and family. I’m out off by marriage because all I saw growing up was women talking about sacrifices. It sounds miserable. I also don’t want to have kids for that reason and I’m tired of being bloody asked. Tired of being offered prayers or whatever. It seems like hell

I’m breaking up with my GF of 3 years today.. going to be a tough one.

Have you ever rekindled an abruptly ended relationship? What areas of alignment are recommended before embarking on this

Was back in the office for the first time since Covid. It’s been really nice seeing everyone again and rekindling old relationships but something about being back just feels off to me.
Covid changed a lot and it’ll be tough to go back to the old ways but it all just feels so different. Idk if I’m in culture shock or this just isn’t for me anymore. Has anyone else felt this?

I’m 52M and looking at divorce with a kid heading to college and one still high school. I agreed to pay for both kids’ college and live a like a pauper for the next 7 years. Any advice?

Friends 5yo when I walk in front door:
“Jessie, do you have a baby yet? Momma says you want a family. Did you do it? Where’s your baby?”

Thanks, kid.

After 13 weeks of WFH - I loved getting to spend nearly every waking minute with our 🐶 (he’d sleep in his bed in my office even when working late, and no matter where we go in the house he follows us around)

I just started traveling to a client site again this week.

My wife told me she found him today sleeping in his bed in my empty office 🐶🐶😭😭😭

Anyone else suffering from eating disorder?

I started taking Wellbutrin last week. I feel restless and low energy last few days. Also, feel bit dizzy sometime after the medication. Usually how many days will it take for the medication to work?

For the last couple of months I’ve been dreading going to work. So bad that there have been days I purposely went to work late to limit my time there. This job is draining and I don’t feel (contd)

How do you bring your self confidence up after a bad review I been in the slump for months now and I don’t know how to dig myself out of this hole I dug for myself. I had a bad performance review few months ago and ever since then I just haven’t been the same

Any woman here who suffers from either PMDD or bipolar disorder? How did your doctors know the difference? I experience severe depression the week before my period and am very easy to set off/lose myself. Like full on hating myself, over sensitivity, and wishing to unalive. Then during my period plus after I return to “manic” happiness and productivity. Both my mother and grandmother were diagnosed as bipolar yet also had menstrual problems and I’m beginning to think they were misdiagnosed.

Anyone on Wellbutrin for anxiety?

I went from not caring about my life / work / anything to dancing in my house alone excited about every day two months after my psychiatrist put me on an SSRI

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.

I am realising that “being happy at work” is a myth, and the whole love what you do stuff is also BS. Novelty wears off eventually. I guess job/work is something I’ll have to do if I want to be able to afford the luxuries of life and I’ll need to find happiness elsewhere. Does anyone else feel the same way? I don’t want to be negative but I feel I need to change something somewhere.

Can’t focus. All I do is scroll through my phone. Work is not challenging and I feel checked out. My project wants me to take on a new role but I’m nervous about it. Work feels so different since the pandemic. Feel like all I do is exist at it and I’m always waiting around. Anyone else?

CBD oil for anxiety? Any recommendations or tips? 🙏🏻

Not sure what to expect from this app. Kind of new to me. But how do people handle depression and anxiety in the workplace? I’ve been getting panic and anxiety attacks lately. My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin. Has anyone had success with this med? Has it affected your ability to work?

How do you all deal with loneliness? My roommates have been gone a lot this summer during the weekends and I’ve been struggling to cope.

When I was little, I used to lie in bed looking at the ceiling and I would get this overwhelming feeling that the future was meaningless. I felt this pressure around me and an empty feeling inside like the one you get when going down on a rollercoaster. I used to cry myself to sleep back then. Haven't felt like that for a couple of years now.

Can’t wait for my mental health to decline in this coming year and probably the next decade tbh. Parents want me to save money for a house, wants me to move back in with them. Originally wanted to only spend $500k max on a house with $100k down payment but now they want a $750k house. I’m going to be house poor for the next decade and I don’t think I’m going to get married or have kids bc of this.

I am so deeply unhappy and anxious about my job. I switched firms within the last year and it’s somehow worse here. I want to change careers and I’m looking for a therapist asap but in the meantime, I can’t stop emotionally dumping on my boyfriend, best friend and parents (who I’m very close with). I will call them and burst into tears and just generally spiral. I know it’s taking a toll on my relationships. Does anyone else have this issue and what can I do to stop?
