Hi there,
I think I might be suffering from some sort of depression even if I don't feel like this is a very sophisticated diagnosis. I'm wondering if someone wants to talk here and be friends?
I don't have any friends actually and I would love to share thoughts with someone, get to know something about the other person, without aiming for something specially. So if anyone feels like wanting to talk to a stranger, give me heads up plz.

How much is appropriate to talk to supervisors about anxiety? I feel like it affects my performance and can be managed with some more project structure, but am afraid to come across as weak...

What can I expect in a final round, virtual interview? It’ll be with the person who interviewed me during the second round which was technical.

What are the zoom happy hours for work like? I have one today that I don’t want to attend but feel like I have to

Does anyone have a couch that they love? Looking to upgrade given how much time I’m spending at home

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.

What is the maximum salary at SA1 that we can negotiate for
Also, What is the next hike/bonus month if one joins in March 2022?

Need your suggestions on my next appraisal which is on November:

Designation: Business Development Manager
YOE: 6 years
CCTC: 7 LPA + variables

How much can I expect?

Looking at purchasing a townhouse/condo on the beach but the HOA fees are ~25% of the PITI. I’m wary of HOAs to begin with - any insight?

Anyone working in sustainability?

Hello everyone!

Currently looking to jump from Health Care to Pharma/Biotech. Does anyone work at Gilead and can serve as a reference? The current department I’m in, I do not fit the culture as it is a very archaic way of “managing” people. I have about a decade of a variety of work experience, majority in customer service/coordination/administration.

Would love any assistance if possible!

So Zulu just won an award for culture. Is this BS? I’ve heard it’s a terrible place to work. What’s the vibe?

Fellow Philadelphians!
DM me if you are interested in joining a Discord server for Philly Young Professionals. I’ve been seeing a lot of “how to make friends” posts and well, this is how! Reach out, put yourself out there & we’ll have fun. I’m hoping to use this server to chat & get to know each other, but also plan in-person events like happy hours.

I just started taking mirtazapine again b/c depression has completely taken over my life.

Not looking forward to the weight gain 😕

Any recs for a therapist in Charlotte? Would also appreciate general tips on finding a good therapist in your area (besides asking friends)

Abused and isolated as a kid. I have terrible memory. Like I don’t really remember the past few months except in broad strokes and memories of my childhood are more non existent than existent. I’m working through this with my therapist. Does anyone have any experience with emotional and memory repression? Curious on your advice

Do a lot of you actually have people you know and love who love you back to go to when you get depressed? Part of this for me has been feeling dead inside. I don’t feel a connection to anyone or thing

I can hardly handle this stress. Joined recently, fresh grad. Small team, with me being the only full time on the project. I don’t know What to do. Anxiety and panic are building. Any advice?

Just went through a cancer scare.
Looks like it was a false alarm, but it threw me for a loop. Can’t sleep, can’t work out, back to back habits, while theoretically I should be exuberant...

Finally hit my breaking point. Been nothing but irritable & pissed off these past few weeks. Coach asked me on Friday when I’ll be taking time off & I just broke down. I’m a top performer & a workhorse. I’ve put so much effort into making sure my team is okay I forgot about myself. Now I am buried in work, performance is dropping & I can’t stop crying randomly. I kept telling people I am drowning but no one was listening. Coach is leaning to tell everyone to backoff thankfully.

Have you ever not eaten for a really long time but just can’t? I’m tired and hungry but there’s some sort of...wall. I can’t get myself to do it. Not anorexic, I’m chubby, but...anxiety.

I’m feeling anxiety about Coronavirus. Does anyone else think that the virus is being used by the government for population control? I don’t know if I’m paranoid.

If anyone in DC area is looking for a great therapist.... i cannot recommend mine enough! I have seen several and she’s been detrimental in my getting better: Janet Wilson in Arlington.

I started an antidepressant treatment for my generalized anxiety disorder and it’s been life changing! It’s only been a week and I already feel so much better, any other fish in the same bowl? 😏

I was trying to figure out what my personality trait was a few days ago. It’s depression, my personality trait aside from work is depression

That feeling that your boss finds out you have a mental disability makes you wonder if he still views you as an asset or a liability. I’m a bit scared on how my work performance will be evaluated.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

I see a lot of people who have crippling anxiety here work out to feel better. My crippling anxiety kind of paralysis my legs (or at least feels like it to the point that I can’t even walk). Does anyone have similar symptoms and solution for it?
I am in therapy right now but just wanted to hear from someone who is also going through it

How does everyone manage SAD during the winters. Feeling so down and not sure what are the best ways to cope.

Can someone confirm for me that suicidal thoughts are not normal? I’ve been dealing with it’s this (ideation but not intent) for as long as I can remember and honestly just assumed (cont)

Anyone watch the clock tick away and have this endless dread of the work day starting like me. When I wake up on weekdays I dread looking at the clock. During the day I mentally start counting down how much time is left on a 30 min break, on Sundays it’s a whole different story.

I hate it when people try to bond with me over trauma when their trauma is that they fight a lot with their spouse or they didn’t get the promotion they wanted. How is that staring death in the face??
