I am officially on vacation until next Tuesday evening. Another 10 days to go. Tried making plans to see my mother this weekend whom I haven't seen for years but got too anxious about seeing her so I called it off and said I was sick. I should have just been honest🤦. My family stresses me out so much😬 Now I feel bad. Why?

Lol you used your real name on here?! 👀

Yes I realize that. It's all good.

Humanity. Certain things are just stressful. Rule 1: Deal with it or deal with regret... both are pills choose wisely. You will never look at it as the last time until it is! Go see family. Friends. Even frenemies...

Good point.

Keep your visit time limited, you can always extend it. Tell your family on the outset that you can’t stay long. Bring a coffee cake or some cookie from Kroger. Have your short visit and leave.

This reminds of a TikTok I saw recently! The topic of it is different but he mentions feeling guilty and how that can be counterproductive

Enjoy your vacation!

But I'd say go see family and make the stay short. You can always stay longer if you'd like, but it's more awkward to cut a visit short!

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.
