Hey guys - anyone else feeling super down today? I’m worried I’m blowing it in my new role/project and I don’t have much going on outside of work thanks to corona. I’m normally happy but right now I feel lonely and miserable :(

I felt super down yesterday. I was like corona really tucked up my shit. I’m not a down person either. today I feel better. Just try to tell myself positive affirmations and replace my worries with positive thoughts like I will be ok , I am strong to get Thru this, I am grounded in myself and will validate myself rather than externally. So hard but you’re not alone 💔sending good vibes your way

It’s totally ok! There are days I feel like that too. You can select a variety of activities outside of work that can help with satisfaction and happiness. I’m trying cooking new recipes, exercising with/without equipment, reading, FaceTiming friends, cleaning, tutorials, listening to fav songs and dancing alone. Have you tried reading? There are so many captivating books, on all topics - I’m sure you can find something you like. It sounds silly but I found that exercise and tea uplift my mood (I don’t like doing exercise but I like how I feel after)

Yes. Also concerned I’m not meeting expectations on a project I started a few weeks ago 😔

I think wfh makes it so difficult to come onto a project where everyone’s already been working together for months (in-person), and I feel like such an underperforming outsider.

It’s so difficult to start a new project remotely. Hard to build relationships and really get to know people or feel out how you’re doing. Ugh.

Thanks all - glad to hear I’m not alone with these feelings. Appreciate your responses ❤️

I felt this way this morning... i felt like crying but i went for a drive! Sending happiness and positivity your way :)

I’m short of googling painless death. I’m not a quitter but I feel like that day may come.

Thanks EY1.

My career counselor has seemed kind of cold towards me lately and I’m not sure why. Previously, she’s been someone I could count on to sponsor me, but she seems eager to get off our check in calls and hasn’t advocated for me in the ways I would’ve expected. For example, I went outside of our account for a stretch role and had walked through the logic of that decision (the role is on a high visibility project that could lead to more work, it’s a role meant for someone two career levels above mine

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
