Does anyone have a good self help book? I’m depressed between jobs and can’t find energy to get out of bed, etc. I really need something to get me motivated to make a change.

What are some tips you can give folks who are trying to get their first job?

How should we deal with following up with folks who say they will be in touch but then don’t contact you again?

Can we talk about how Katara should have ended up with Zuko? I just rewatched the series and am frustrated all over again.

Bacon is overrated.

Hello Fishes,

One query,

Does TCS perform BGC for our previous organization also before joining or sometimes after joining also?

My Home address verification was done a month ago. However no one reached me for any kind of details regarding my previous employment.
I had uploaded the previous employment documents on Ibegin portal, I was going through the posts and came to know they as for other details also like PF passbook , Bank statement etc.

This was incredible. Thanks to the Maip team and council for making this happen. Can’t wait to see you all soon.

Today’s plan thanks to POTUS’ bigly brain: Take car, go down CVS, take care of work, pick up mum, head to the Winchester, pour a glass of Lysol with some Tide Pods, and wait for all this to blow over

Any Insead applicants - What did u mark for employee sponsorship with GSAP - Yes/Full Tuition, Yes/Time Commitment or No. I spoke to their adcom and she recommended marking as No.

I’ve been feeling quite alone lately now that I have more time with myself. I feel my depression getting worser, and I can’t get myself out of the house, I really want to make friends though. Any advice on how to build a community from scratch?

Have been funneling all of my stress and anxiety at a friend and finally reached a breaking point where I think I completely tarnished/absolutely tainted it...feels so shitty I couldn’t control myself

Has anyone suffered from frequent panic attacks and got it to stop or found a mechanism to avoid triggers ? What type of therapy is best suited for panic attacks !?

Does anyone else struggle to accept your diagnosis? I’ve had two therapists suggest I try medication, but I can’t help feeling like I’m just too weak to handle the challenges of the world. That medication is the “easy way out”. In weekly therapy (+other lifestyle changes), but my anxiety/depression just seems to be getting worse.

Had a really rough few weeks, just started a new project while in quarantine and it’s a crazy disorganized one with many late nights. I don’t feel like I’m meeting the team’s expectations even though I am trying my hardest. I’ve had discussions with leadership who have said “we hear you” but nothing has changed. I don’t have time to look for a different job or to interview. I live alone and I just don’t see a way out of this.

Anyone that takes a antidepressant also suffer or suffered from sleep issues / insomnia? If so have you had any success improving your sleep? I have tried multiple sleeping pills and don’t really help. I can usually eventually fall asleep, but I wake up multiple times in the night and then sometimes can’t fall back to sleep.

Has anyone ever been to a rehab facility or wellness retreat for an eating disorder/mental health issues? I was diagnosed with binge eating disorder, MDD, and GAD last year and nothing I’ve done has helped. I feel like I just need to be in a safe and supportive environment for some time to get some kind of grasp on my life. I just don’t feel like I can do this on my own

Any 🐠 on short term disability or leave that would be willing to drop a burner and chat with me ?

Does anyone else here feel drained? I don't if it's because of the continued lockdown here and wfh but I feel like I'm struggling which is impacting work

Dreading work today. I’m feeling so anxious

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?

How do you tell your friends that you’re struggling mentally? My close friends know I’m type-A and super anxious, but not aware of the extent to which it impacts my life. I also have high-functioning depression. I feel like I should open up to them about a recent episode that landed me in the hospital, but I’m so embarrassed I can’t find the words.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Up for consideration: being physically and psychologically disabled for life or dying? Which one is worse?

I'd be interested in talking with anyone about how my faith got me through my depression. I'm in the Bay Area and could meet in person.

My roommate is depressed and won’t really talk to me much lately. I asked them recently how they’re feeling because I’ve noticed they’ve been sad and they admitted they’re depressed. I Invite them to do stuff and they turn me down. We are pretty close but they told me they just want to deal with it alone yet I want to help. I’m just not sure what to do and I feel guilty for feeling sad that they don’t want to hang out with me. Any advice?

Has anyone received medication for ADD and found it very helpful? I’ve been struggling so hard to focus and stay motivated for the past few months. It’s now affecting my work performance very seriously. It’s frankly terrifying me that I won’t be able to get it under control. I’m wondering just how helpful medication would be and whether it’s worth pursuing as an option.

How do you decide when to take a mental health day? I've taken maybe 3 or 4 and they've all been very useful, but sometimes I feel guilty about it. Anyone else with this experience? Or do most others just power through?

Thinking of getting the semicolon tattoo as a reminder to myself of my growth, but at the same time I am afraid that if seen on the job I will get questions I do not want to answer

I'd want it (cont)
