Husband has bipolar. He’s on meds and works with a psychiatrist +therapist. I’m in therapy too. I have a background (genetically) in bipolarity.
I (luckily) didn’t inherit it. TERRIFIED of having a child. They might inherit this illness. Husband kinda wants kids. I always wanted kids growing up and up until now.4 years since we’ve been married and fights don’t seem to subside. Adoption is an option but I’m not sure I can single-handedly raise a child (since he’s not very reliable).Anyone else?

Just curious about others experiences before I raise with my doctor.

Should I take my girlfriend back after she drunkenly kissed a random guy at a bar?
We were at a bar with friends and I left the bar because I was ready to go home. She stayed with friends and I later found out that she kissed a random guy and her friend had to break it up. We are 3 months in and I feel betrayed. She has assured to me that it was not cheating and just a mistake. She loves me and wants to stay together and swore to do better. I’m torn because I feel like all trust is gone.

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

I have a lot of room to add students to my schedule- but my boss seems to think I shouldn’t be taking on more students but it’s my job to help those struggling students. I’m at a loss.

I had salary discussion with KPMG HR two weeks ago but haven't received the offer letter yet. I tried reaching out to the recruiter via email and call, but got no response. Shall I consider my candidature as rejected? Does KPMG reject even after verbal confirmation?

Anyone on here religious/spiritual? Praying helps me a lot - I had a dark day today and bolted out at lunch so I wouldn’t freak at work - I’ll be praying extra hard tonight.

Any success stories of L-Theanine supplements? After a particularly rough anxiety attack last night, I’ve decided to try some remedies (without resorting to Ativan).

Has anyone defined themselves by their passion for this industry so much so, that if they thought about doing something else they’d have no idea who they are anymore?

Does that even make sense?

Fake smiles. Fake smiles. Fake smiles.

I've struggled with taking meds. I never understood the concept of "take your meds even if you feel good."

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion. My partner is amazing and I can’t imagine loving anyone this deeply, and feeling so safe with them. But I also love my parents and they’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to cope with this.

Just found out depression and anxiety can be considered disability and protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. 🤯

At my health annual, a simple question “how are you feeling?” turned on Niagara Falls. No one ever asks how I’m doing w the intent to sincerely listen.
Prozac was prescribed. Therapist booked. 🤞🏻

Had to pull an all nighter and am convinced I will not make it through this day. Prayers are greatly appreciated.

Friendly reminder that depression is a protected disability. File paperwork with your company and they legally cannot destroy your health by overworking you.

So, today I was told my face or my facial expressions when I was at a meeting a year ago made the other person think I hated them. This is someone senior in my department, who could impact my success at this company. Hi m uncomfortable this person said this to me, especially since it was not what I was thinking a year ago. Should I just ignore this?

Have any of you had to go through multiple different therapists and found one that you enjoy meeting with consistently? Hating myself rn but don’t want to talk to the one therapist i have met with 3x and not sure if the search is even that worth it ultimately. For those that couldn’t find a good match for a therapist - are there other methods of therapy you’ve tried or would recommend?
