I feel like my work as a community manager is not being appreciated by my employer. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you cheer yourself up after a hard day's work?

Ugh, yes I feel this way a lot. I'm not sure if this will help, but I usually cheer myself up with a long walk and a glass of wine after a particularly hard day. I feel like a lot of our kind of work goes unnoticed, but it makes me feel better knowing that what I do improves the quality of life here. Hang in there!

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy.

Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
