How do you assess if you need therapy? Not really common in my culture / part of the world, so don’t really know where to begin.

Did anyone else attend the virtual #SMWLA conference this week!? What were your favorite panels/sessions?

So far, the session hosted by Headspace was my favorite. Loved their point about thinking about your audience's mental health and what drives them to want to feel a certain way by using your product/service when creating your content strategy.

Dear all,

How's it like working for PwC India as SAP Functional Senior Associate?
I have a 5.3y work ex with ACN, as a FSCM consultant (L10 currently, was assured of a L9 effective March, but declined due to growing poor culture within ACN).
Got an offer from PwC India
Current TC: 9.5 LPA.
PwC Offered TC: 19 LPA.
IBM Offered Fixed: 17 LPA
IBM would be a smooth drive, but skeptical to join PwC given the WLB issues, as a lot of folks say.

Any thoughts, comments would be really helpful!

What is it like working at Monitor Deloitte with the Strategic Growth Transformation team (under S&A)? I have 4 YOE from a Big 4 and got an offer for Senior C in NY.
1- What is the culture like: How are the people? Hours? Are you happy working there?
2- Is there actual strategy work or is it mostly transformation, with the word "strategy" being slapped to every single project? How long are the projects? Are most project sponsors actually at the Csuite level?
3- Is Monitor thriving or dying?

I gained like 25 lbs in the last year of working big law and I don’t even know how this could’ve happened.

Does anyone else here feel drained? I don't if it's because of the continued lockdown here and wfh but I feel like I'm struggling which is impacting work

What are the signs that you absolutely need new friends or new friend circle?

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

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 know my anxiety is getting in the way of my legal work. I have writer's block every time I need to prepare pleadings or a Response. Some harsh criticism my writing skills a year ago has really gotten to me. I realize I am being ridiculous, but if rational thinking were enough to overcome anxiety then none of us would be in here. Do any of you have go to methods for conquering your anxiety and just getting the work done?

I’m at a major crossroad. I’ve on disability for treatment for a major bout of depression. As things were looking up and I was ready to head back to work everything in my life went to sh!t. Family health issues, disability not paying and causing financial hardship, and, strangest of all, I became physically ill when I drove up to the office to pick something up today. Just the sight of the building made me sick. I can’t afford to retire, I’m too old to ‘start over’. Is there any hope?

Any 🐠 on short term disability or leave that would be willing to drop a burner and chat with me ?

Hi friends!

I got an offer for a job where I’d be switching industries / taking a pay cut for a different career path that I think would provide me more fulfillment. My plan is to provide 2 weeks notice tomorrow, but I’m having anxiety about it since my projects are running full speed ahead, and I may make things quite difficult on the team. I know this may be common in consulting, but just curious if anyone has gone through similar and how you’ve approached the convos?

I’ve been reflecting and realized I have a lot of unhealed trauma and my mind is just fucked. Sometimes I wish my brain was normal like other people. So tired of the attachment, obsession, rumination, anxiety, depression. 😔 So much work to do and meds to take just to try and be a normal person.

Thinking of getting the semicolon tattoo as a reminder to myself of my growth, but at the same time I am afraid that if seen on the job I will get questions I do not want to answer

I'd want it (cont)

As a new project manager, I'm always thinking ahead, overthinking, checking in for status updates, etc. and I feel like I'm constantly doing this in my personal life. It's causing me anxiety, making me get snappy when others aren't also planning as far ahead, etc. How do I turn this off / be ok with other people in my life not being this way? I feel like I'm constantly setting myself up to be disappointed when others in my life aren't planners and I just do it myself out of frustration.

Anyone have any experience of beginning to take an ssri for anxiety/depression and the initial 5-6 days anxiety levels being through the roof and the inability to sleep. I started taking 50 mg of Zoloft (this is my third try at an ssri) on Monday and I’ve probably slept a total of 10 hrs since then due to it. My body has always been sensitive to medication so possibly that’s it - do I lower dose to 25 or just say screw it as I don’t know if my body/brain is taking a liking to this kind of medic

I’ve been feeling quite alone lately now that I have more time with myself. I feel my depression getting worser, and I can’t get myself out of the house, I really want to make friends though. Any advice on how to build a community from scratch?

How do you know when it’s time to throw in the towel and quit work and try to find something else? I haven’t been in my current position for long and am a new graduate but I feel terrible all the time but don’t want to admit that the last few years of my education/debt were all for nothing.
