Good right! Often at times this is much better, entertaining, different questions and perspectives plus examples! I haven’t tried therapy and probably I should because I feel I’m stuck but I have been someone who has seen the good and bad from FB community along with humor.

Good therapy is hard to come by, I think it is nothing like this when you find one that truly cares and is qualified in what you need.

In return they many times get roasted and judged harshly by anonymous keyboard warriors who wouldn’t say such things if they weren’t anonymous. So their feelings can get pretty hurt especially if they’re earnest about their issue.

So I wouldn’t necessarily call it free but that’s just me.

That’s a good thing. A therapist will sit and listen to you. An anonymous group will tell you what they honestly think.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week?

Going through a rough patch, mental-health wise. I have always been a high performer and dont back down from challenges. But this past month something feels off in my head and I have 0% motivation for anything at the moment. Brief run down: work-stress, meeting expectations, fear of failure, imposter-syndrome, negative self-image (probably from all the time I spend on IG… might need therapy. 🥲
I don’t know what went wrong, but I don’t think I’m the only one to have felt this. Sorry for the sads!

Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.
