Do you know what your triggers are?

I have childhood PTSD… it manifests when I’m told that I’m not performing or have to have difficult conversations around what I could be doing better… it’s been explained that the trigger itself is disappointment and perfectionism… it’s less prevalent now, but when I was faced with tight timelines or aggressive sales quotas, I used to freeze…

Not all environments involve bullying or dishonesty… but you won’t really know until you’re in it… so I understand and can identify with your dilemma…

I share the same issues. You are not alone

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

If you've been struggling with depression and anxiety to the point you need therapy and medication, do you think it's best to share this with close workers?

Sometimes I get overwhelmed at work due to these issues. Could mentioning these problems backfire?

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

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
