How do you come out of your childhood trauma? I am turning 30. I had an alcoholic & abusive father (to my mother). He was very quiet and loving but when drunk he turned into a completely different person. I saw him coming home drunk daily, abuse my mother and I never really had a normal childhood. He died when I was 20.
How can I come out of this childhood trauma? Not a single day when I can't think about my childhood. Have affected my personality in different ways and still impacts my life.

If you are a couple with no kids, how do you go about finding friends in the area? I struggle so much :( most of my close friends are now scattered across the country and I feel like we have no one close to us anymore. I don’t even know how we’d go about making new friends anymore!

Have you ever rekindled an abruptly ended relationship? What areas of alignment are recommended before embarking on this

Would you be okay with your mother in law moving in if that meant you and your spouse got ownership of a fully paid off house in Key West that is worth 500K+? If MIL doesn’t move in with us, she would have to sell her house in KW to buy a house near us in cash. She’s recently widowed and is choosing to quit her job before retirement age. She wants to live with us and give us her house. What would you do?

Is it ok to look for one night stands while on road and not feel guilty.. does it mean I dont love my girlfriend?

Failed my last exam (Far) with a 72, lost BEC as a result, and got dumped by my bf (bc he wants to try again with his ex).

Its been a great week. I am truly about to lose it.

What should i do if my parents fight EVERY day, EVERY moment of their lives. I feel bad by intervening but sometimes my mom needs help. Once its over, i feel terrible and curse myself for being born. My gf is probably talking to some other guy who looks good and probably has a better social status than me. I am usually scared and negative about things. What should i do

Anyone else at home not sure what to do with their time? Have multiple calls today but can't seem to figure out what I want to do between them. Workload is much lesser since this is last week

Has anyone regretted their marriage and who they married? Please share experiences

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

Kid friendly places to watch the World Cup final? I want to bring my little sister.

I have been apartment hunting in the Austin area. I need to move closer to work. The commute is emotional damage lol. I’m being dramatic. Nonetheless, I need to be closer to work.

My question is does anyone have experience or feedback to give about renting a room in a house and sharing common area with roommates?

It is one option I am considering, but hesitant to go this route.

How do you get over someone?

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

Don’t you love it when your parents call you to say they “forgive you” but you don’t even know what you did wrong. Apparently it was because I didn’t do something really small (ordering something online) and they were mad. So when I did it last week they were mad, and they’re still mad now. Why do I care? I already did the thing, idk why you’re making such a big deal over something so small. And yeah, I have my life going, what was I supposed to tell you? That I’m dissociating?

Has your wife ever been jealous of your career success? Made it through final round interviews at two firms in the same week. Wife has been acting a bit weird since I told her.

I just read a book called The Midnight Library. Fiction, about a woman who kills herself and finds an in-between state where she gets to explore the infinite other paths her life *might* have taken based on all the choices she made during her life (to end her promising swimming career, to quit her high school band, to dump her boyfriend). She had to choose in the in-between place if she wanted any of those other lives instead of her “root” life, and she could choose to survive.

How do you get over the fact that your
bf (who is super active on social media
and USED to post you without you
asking) just never does it anymore?
You don't suspect him of cheating or
anything like that, he just doesn't think
to do it anymore. I don't want our
fights to be around social media, and
honestly am embarrassed even typing
out this post, but it’s been on my mind lately.

Is it strange if a husband continually tells their wife that they don’t have anything to talk to them about when the wife tries to engage in conversation. Or him stating that if he has something to say then he will talk.

What’s going on with all the shootings? I’m afraid to step out even to go grocery shopping. 30+ shootings this weekend?

How big is the UX design department at Northwestern Mutual? What's their approach to user-centered product development? How much research do they do to validate product ideas? Would you recommend working there?

What are the requirements for getting promoted from L6 to L7?
I am thinking of accepting an L6 offer hoping to make L7 in a couple of years (assuming I crush it). But I’m wondering since this is an IC role, I might not even be eligible for an L7 till I show ppl management at google. Any anecdotes or observations on this move from current/ex-Googlers would be great. Thank you!
FWIW, I have done extensive ppl management in my current and prior jobs

Anyone down to case this weekend or early next week?

Anyone watching UnREAL? I just started, and I'm hooked!😈

Considering looking for a new job. I have a top 20 MBA, PMP, CSM, Six Sigma Green Belt, 9 years of active military experience, 2.5 years consulting. What salary range should I be looking for?

So I adopted a cat during quarantine. Although I love him, having him seems to have worsened my anxiety. I would never give him away but the responsibility has been giving me severe anxiety. Even though I had thought long and hard about getting him. I think coupled with the fact I started a new job a month ago, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m starting medication this week and hoping it will help me. But right now, I am so stressed out and anxious :/ any tips? Or words of encouragement?

Anyone have experience with ketamine or ayahuasca?

When you get stuck in a deep deep depression how do you start coming out? I’ve been drowning and trying so many things since May last year, but it’s May almost and I’m worse than ever.

How to get someone with bipolar and/or insomnia to sleep? Pleaaaaasse help

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.

I don't want to be alive. I really don't. I don't see the point in life. I never signed up for this.

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…

Has anyone been able to get prescribed anti-depressants during COVID? I’m struggling so much right but not sure how this will work out with telemedicine, etc. I don’t have a primary therapist.

Has anyone ever gotten their energy level back? Im so tired all the time, I could lay in bed for 2 days straight and not feel refreshed. I don’t feel the need to go outside ever. Idk how to be a working professional anymore, how did I ever do it?

Decided I’m going to quit in the medium term to take some time off. It’s been really difficult to keep the same work ethic and as a result am creating more anxiety for myself. Any advice? (Contd)

My firm is virtual - all work done remotely in home office unless on client site. Haven’t traveled since mid October. It’s driving me nuts. What do you recommend doing?

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.

Feeling very unloved by my family, my friends, in life in general, my SO. Please comment with something funny or cute 💚❤️

Anyone try ketamine for treatment resistant depression? I’ve heard great things about it, but I am scared and it’s very expensive. I would love to hear about anyone’s experience.

I have very low self esteem and just find it hard it hard to believe in myself. Any advice on getting over this? It has become really tiring for me to always seek for reassurance from the people close to me or the people I work with. Like I don't ever feel that I am good enough.
