Has anyone ever experienced a lack of confidence after a break up? After my last break up I got severe anxiety due to imposter syndrome at work and had to take a few weeks off. This was a year ago and I continued to suffer until recently when I started seeing someone new. I suddenly feel more confident at work again now I’m with someone new, but I’m scared I might go through the same thing again if we break up.

I stayed at work for 20 minutes past when I should’ve been done today (4:50 instead of 4:30) and it caused a huge fight between my husband and I. He thinks it’s so ridiculous and I’m setting a precedent that I’m okay with staying late and not having a work life balance blah blah blah. I’m so sick of it at this point and we’ve had this argument so much. Just fed up with it and quite frankly I’m just about done. I love my job and just wish my husband would be supportive instead of a psychopath.

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it. Don't have any family near me and it's hard to make friends with non-SW's mostly just because I'm too tired after work to want to do much. Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

I have added a daily routine of giving my wife of foot rub when we unwind at the end of the day, and it has been awesome for our marriage. It’s an easy way to be supportive and take care of someone who takes care of you, and it’s a great way to unwind for me because it requires just the right amount of engagement to be present. I take the time to listen empathetically to my wife’s day and just be there for her. It only took me about 15 minutes to learn some great and easy techniques on YouTube!

I believe my S/O night have bipolar 2... and it’s slowly tearing us apart. The whole Covid situation hasn’t helped things either. This is based on nothing but my gut, some internet detective work, and that it runs in their family. How do you go about bringing this up? Can anyone on here speak from experience (on either side)? Help?

I find myself doing “favor” work for friends and family somewhat often. I don’t want to charge them, and just trying to help them out of a unjust situation. However, I wonder what my risks are here.

I am a 38 yo woman, always been very active (I run 20 miles/week), normal BMI, and eat healthy. I just had a routine blood test and while my HDL is 70 and triglycerides 53 (both good), my LDL is suddenly 132 (normal is up to 130). Any tips on what to do? I don’t have heart disease anywhere in my family. Only think I can think is ever since covid started I eat chocolate every night. Could that alone cause this?? Any help appreciated.
