Has anyone here gotten STD for severe depression and anxiety? Would appreciate chatting with someone.

My dermatologist prescribed a body tretinoin cream (0.1% cut with about 6 parts vanicream lotion, per her instruction). Been starting slow, using it a 2-3x a week and skin seems to be tolerating it pretty well, with the exception of the skin that rubs together while I sleep (cleavage and neck folds). Is this likely because of the moisture from the sweat in those areas? Anyone else experience this and will it get better as my skin gets used to the retinoid?

I’d like to start seeing a therapist but don’t really know where to start. Does anyone have any recommendation as to who? Thank you!

Told my partner that I am experiencing severe covid symptoms and that am running around trying to get a test (very difficult where I am located right now).

At 56 years old and almost 2 years out of work, I think I aged out of my profession and am not physically healthy enough to start something new. I can’t picture myself working ever again.

I started a job in May of this year. I’m in need of a major surgery that will take me out of work for 2-4 weeks. Every week I wait the pain and situation gets worse, however I’m not comfortable taking time off when I just getting started. My question: how many months should I work before request off? What do you think is appropriate? I was hoping to get to the 6 month mark but I’d love to hear what you have to say.

I just received my performance review and my manager recommended ~15% raise and ~20% bonus, however, management only ended up giving me a 5% raise and 14% bonus plus I am expected to considerably expand my role, but no promotion.

I started a job with a tutoring company. I had to go in for training at 2pm one day. They never told me how long I would work until I got there. Turns out I had to work until 7:30. 5 and a half hours of training. My previous experience with the same company (diff franchise) only required 1 hour of training. Anyways at the end of my shift, they said I don’t get paid for that day. They didn’t guarantee pay the next day, either. I left and said it was illegal. Was I right?

I started searching for work at anther firm. I accepted an offer for the things I am looking for. I am freaking out over the change even though I know moving on is the best thing for me and my family. I feel so anxious. I'm sad for leaving coworkers now friends. I'm sad that the firm I am leaving let me down.
I will keep pushing forward but the anxiety of leaving is overpowering the excitement of new things to come (things I asked 4). My eyes r tearing rt now...what is wrong w/ me?

Does anyone else get post pandemic “get back to normal” anxiety?? I want everyone to be healthy and happy and the suffering over Covid to end. But I can’t go back to “normal” life. I can’t go back to the life of an overflowing calendar being glorified. I feel like I’m sinking deep into an introvert lifestyle, which is not the bubbly, busy, and extroverted person people know me to be. But I’m scared of what the post pandemic social expectations will be and not being able to keep up.

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.

Is Therapy typically covered under insurance in the US?

I am blessed with so much, but yet consistently been unhappy for the past few years. I feel I dont get the love and appreciation I seek from family and marriage. At times, I feel my life should go to someone else who wants to live and I can instead leave this world. I know I will be fine eventually (dark thoughts will go away) but I am no longer interested in this life, even though I am blessed with so much.
