Fell into a deep depressive suicidal hole and missed work for two days. Honestly surprised I woke up the second missed day, took a bunch of pills. Now need to face family and work. Don’t know what to do next.
What do I even say to my manager? Do I just show up and not say anything? How will this hurt my career?
My family I know it would hurt but I can be honest there at least. Plan to speak to family once I can come to terms with being alive.

Thinking about taking my experience in tech (Recruitment, HR, Ops, Marketing) and starting a side business coaching folks in career and WLB. Would like to do this through less traditional means like breathwork, sound meditation etc mixed with the more traditional approaches of goal setting, self inquiry and reflection. I would like to help others avoid burnout and find meaningful work :)

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?

Should I take my girlfriend back after she drunkenly kissed a random guy at a bar?
We were at a bar with friends and I left the bar because I was ready to go home. She stayed with friends and I later found out that she kissed a random guy and her friend had to break it up. We are 3 months in and I feel betrayed. She has assured to me that it was not cheating and just a mistake. She loves me and wants to stay together and swore to do better. I’m torn because I feel like all trust is gone.

Hello fellow 🐠,

What are your thoughts on buying a house in  this environment? I have been saving, and think I can now afford a decent size house--for a first time home buyer. For now, I have been just checking out inventories and am researching on do's and don'ts as time permits. I am really nervous as I am so new to this and the current economy doesn't help. I am very fortunate to still have a job, but who knows when the tide turns? I will be getting an agent once I stop being indecisive...

I don't know what else to do. I have major depressive disorder. I've been on almost every medication made, been hospitalized, been through "therapy" with multiple therapists and social workers, and even had ECT, all to no avail. I'm trying to stay strong but it's getting hard.

Advice needed: seeing a psychiatrist first time to assess if I need short term medical leave to deal with anxiety. How did you guys start the conversation with your psychiatrist? What’s the degree of depression that requires medical leave or medicine? Don’t want to make a fuss if my problem is “normal” but neither want to overlook it. I had panic attack before flying back from a case that I thought I was dying...

I'm decently successful, but sometimes I feel so jaded about life

Having this thought after years of setbacks and lack of motivation/ interests: we all die so why try anything?

First day on sertraline (/Zoloft). Dr said might feel nauseous and agitated. Was OK most of the day but now I’m in bed I’m feeling restless, tired, and a bit short of breath. I think this is normal and need to stick it out for a week… can anyone else relate or share their experience starting medication for the first time? Thank you

Feeling so overwhelmed. Trying to find the balance between an ambitious career and raising a toddler. Feel like I am failing on both fronts. Just can't seem to wrap my head around... (Cont)

Feeling like shit today. Totally in need of some magic right now. 💔

Trust. I had three situations in the last 24 hours where things did not work out as they should or I was given wrong information. These situations were small and are definitely first world issues.

But it underlined for me how important trust is and how I feel so alone not having anyone there I know 100% I can trust them.

Everything around me is I have the fight a little or a lot for the actual truth. And that saddens me
