Get off work and sleep. Don’t eat, don’t brush my teeth, just sleep until the next day. It works. You feel like enough of a gross, hungry POS by 6 am you actually shower and try to do something.

Same. I have no separation between work and life anymore. Just constantly feeling like I’m not doing enough, or making it past one deadline/project just to be hurled into another right after.

I feel like I don’t know how to make friends anymore at work. Joined as an experience hire but worked at this company years ago before coming back to a different group. I feel like I’m constantly trying to swim upstream to fit in at work. There is a strong in-crowd unit and clique in our group. Maybe I’m not fun or valuable enough? Feels like everyone gets along. I realize feeling like I have friends at work is important to me

The amount of institutional failures at my firm is causing me to have a mental breakdown. I find myself screaming at no one in my apartment, alone, at least 12x per day. Normally I could blame increase in workload on clients or random uncontrollable world events. But it’s right now it’s just us, we just suck so bad. I want to quit so bad and just sit in silence for hours.

Starting an anti-depressant for the first time in my life tomorrow, after struggling with depression for my entire life (every second of all 37 years.) I was so against medication (due to family history of addiction) but I read so many positive comments on this bowl about how they’ve been life changing for people. I’m really, really optimistic but thinking maybe I should lower my expectations. What kind of mindset should I have as I start tomorrow? Will it really be as life changing as I hope?

Sensitive question, but when does a mental health challenge become a performance issue?

I’ve suffered from anxiety and depression so I’m not unsympathetic and recently restarted therapy for myself and have a colleague with anxiety issues who’s become difficult to work with. People have raised the issue but they refuse to get treatment and there’s been no consistent improvement after more than a year. It’s becoming a real issue with multiple people.

Curious if others have any ideas here.
