I cry often these past months and I just feel exhausted mentally. What should I do ? I considered talking to a therapist because I don’t think my friends or family can do anything about it.

Therapy is the best! We allllll should do it

Talk to a therapist! There are a ton of people feeling the same way as you (eg, me, I cry almost every day it’s so overwhelming), especially because of the pandemic. I very recently started seeing a therapist, and it’s already helping me tremendously. It’s their job to help you through it. I couldn’t recommend it more. I hope you get what you need 💕

I was experiencing chronic anxiety last month and I switched to a 3 day flex schedule to work on my mental health. I've been seeing a therapist, spending more time outdoors, and exercising which has helped tremendously. I would consider taking a medical leave if it's really bad or maybe even trying to go on a flex schedule.

Thanks this is really helpful I wasn’t aware of all these options

Definitely see a therapist. It might take a few tries to find the right match, but at the least, it does help to talk about what’s troubling you.

Looking for advice.. I’ve been on a management training programme on the lowest salary possible for just over a year and will soon be finishing the programme for a promotion. I know the average salary of my coworkers in the same role I’ll be going into and was wondering if anyone had advice for negotiating higher? We live in central London for context and due to the inflation are all struggling to manage our finances!

Anyone else use work as their escape? People complain about not having work life balance but I only stay for the long hours.

My first therapy appointment tomorrow! I’ve never dealt with depression before having my second kid and my PPD was/is rough! Filling out the intake form I basically had to list out all the things I’ve dealt with - rape, mom issues, death in family during pandemic, kid hit by car, ppd, and a slew of over things… looking forward to working through these things over time, whatever that might look like.

Really trying not to spiral, and my practice group leader has been openly hostile to and dismissive of me lately. I haven’t mentioned my depression/anxiety to him because we’re not exactly getting along swimmingly, but I don’t know who else to talk to about my MH. Fighting with my wife hasn’t helped either. Really not sure how to handle it aside from counseling but that isn’t getting me anywhere fast. Thoughts?
