I compulsively tense the muscles in my neck/twitch and jerk my head and neck around while I am working. This has been the case for the last 5-6 years of working full time at a desk. I look crazy and I am constantly in SO much pain during work & the hours that follow. I’ve tried pretty much everything - meditation, massage/ massage devices, PT, ergonomic desk set up, acupuncture, vitamin supplements, 2 different psychiatrists…everything short of prescription medication or quitting my job. Cont…

In the market for a standing desk. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

I just bought a desk and setting my home office. I set up a meeting with generic name “test” to see what the camera can see. After I played with my hair the rearranging the room for 5 minutes, I found

This week I started a listen through my entire record collection from front to back. I’ll be doing this on workdays when I am in my home office. Did it a few years ago. Collection has grown a lot since then. But I’m not doing comedy and spoken word this time. Too hard to work to those. I expect it to take 4-6 weeks at least. Depending on how many calls I have.

What are good ergonomic office chairs for shorter people under $500?

I feel like I have no actual friends in my home office. I only go out after work with the team that I'm on. I'm in no groupchats or anything. Will this hurt me in the long run?

For those of you without a home office: Where do you usually work? My desk is in my bedroom and I’m considering sacrificing aesthetic to move my set up elsewhere

Design question for my work from home ladies - how did you decorate around a standing desk, large monitors, etc?

I find that with a large monitor there’s not so much I can put on the wall without having the monitor partially cover it - especially when the desk moves.

I don’t mind if the decor is covered when I’m using it standing, but want it to look nice when it’s lower down. Also find that with the monitor/laptop another square on the wall is too much of the same shape - any inspiration?

What are some complexes you would recommend for a spacious 1br 1ba (or 2br 1ba) under $2K near the battery. I’m a young professional thats permanently remote and needs space to set up a nice home office.

What keeps you up at night? For me, it's anxiety about the future. Today it's hope, and a worry that it's foolish to be hopeful.

Last week it was dread, and a feeling of impending doom.... I changed my circumstances, but I'm still anxious, even if there's a positive twinge.

When the only thing in your life that you knew, truly knew, you were really good at, comes back and says "nope, we don't think you're really any good."

Really hard to stop the spiral at that point.

Does anyone here struggle with basic things at work? For example, being on time. I know it sounds basic, It’s not about waking up in time, my morning gets filled with something else, I misjudge time, I find something else to procrastinate. Second, filling out admin forms, I miss things, misunderstand. I am feeling really down on myself. I am I high performer and always deliver on complex projects, but these things, it’s like I’m totally out of it. Could it be ADHD? Depression (I’m medicated)?

Has anyone else developed a massive paranoia about getting fired? I’m terrified that any mistake will get me fired. My manager is very emotional in their reactions so it’s traumatized me a bit

Anxiety attacks have been picking up (used to be few times a year, now weekly) I see a therapist already but have people had success with ashwagandha and magnesium? Not interested in prescription meds for me personally even though I recognize their merits

the guy i’m dating barely makes an effort. sitting here at one of my favorite places, trying to give him an opportunity to not make me always do all the work (always going to his place, etc) - yet he still can’t make it happen. wtf am i even doing. such a waste

Does anyone have night anxiety that you won’t be able to keep getting hired places, and won’t meet retirement goals? Then have to eat dog food from a can until someone finds your homeless corpse? I am

Started a new job this week. And every morning have been feeling like this anxiety ridden mess. As in, as soon as I’m conscious I feel extremely anxious. Any tips to help with this? I know it’s just because of the new job, as this has happened in the past. But it’s so uncomfortable while it happens.

How do you stop over eating, or eating while depressed, or comfort eating to avoid your anxious thoughts?

Getting abruptly staffed onto projects ( I’ll find out like 2 days before I have to fly out) is doing a number on my anxiety. Thinking of leaving..

Is it normal to feel more anxious when you first start taking Zoloft? I’ve been taking it at bedtime and when I wake up I am super anxious. Then at around noon, it calms down and I feel in a better mood. On 50mg.

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

I've realized I'm eating more and more each day even when not hungry and mainly when alone and back at my hotel. My anxiety has skyrocketed over the last couple of years...

I’ve been on overdrive for a week now and I am exhausted. I can’t stop until Thursday because I have to give my boss some deliverables before I take the day off on Friday to move states. I’m just tired and I want to give up.

Do you ever just start reaching out to some of your friends/acquaintances whom you may not always talk to when you’re feeling really down and just need to interact with someone? I’ve texted a few people just asking how they are, what’s new, etc.

But when I’m talking to my close friends it’s so difficult for me to tell them that I’m in a dark place right now and really need support but instead I just send memes about it 😕 I don’t want to feel like a burden to people.

I have a co-worker I really enjoy working working with. However, over the last couple of months I've seen his motivation wane and he lost interest at his job. I believe he does great work, but he does not believe that no matter what I say. He always compares himself to others and feels like he's behind. He told me, he has been struggling with depression and anxiety for a long time.

At this point, he says he plans to leave the company soon. I'm sad about

Depressed need someone to talk too

I hate knowing that I will need to deal with depressive episodes for the rest of my life.
