How do you find your passion with work again? I feel my job is sucking the life out of me and I dread going to work every day. I haven’t battled depression since before my daughter was born 6 years ago but it’s gotten so bad lately, I struggle to even get out of bed.

Seems like you know the first thing you need to do which is to get specialized help. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and when I’m at the peak of a crisis that’s exactly how it feels. Of course exercise, a good diet and some relaxation/breathing techniques can help you cope with work, but it’s hard to do that on your own

Keep applying and stay consistent, I promise it will happen for you! I’m also in the same situation where burnout is very real. I think this is just how it is for some of us, we need a change of pace, scenery, time etc. I’m hoping to delve into a new (new for me) industry soon and I’m staying persistent…and I see some progress, with my first interview being this morning! You can do this. 👍🏼 good luck!

I suggest trying to volunteer if you can. I know it’s a challenge with little kids but it will help you a lot as you will expand your network and will teach you skills like self advocacy and communication. Volunteer in events or mentorship in things in your domain and trust me it can change you

I keep forgetting to ask about this but I noticed ever since my hysterectomy years ago I have arthritis (I think) in my fingers.

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
