I had an eating disorder in high school but recovered once I started college and was doing fine up until early this year. With working remotely and everything just frankly being chaotic, I’ve found myself slipping back into ED habits and have lost 20 pounds since March. On the plus side, I think I look great but know my weight loss wasn’t healthy. Can anyone else relate to this? And if so, how are you managing keeping your ED under control?

Same boat minus the actual weightloss. Struggling hard with the mental aspects: obsessing over food, serious guilt, spiralling negative thoughts.
I wish I looked great but instead I feel sad, self-loathing in a way I haven’t in a long time.
Know that you’re not alone and that stress effects us all differently. Please feel supported in seeking help before you have to go through gruelling recovery again.
My heart goes out to you ❤️

I work in a public school setting and am allergic to citrus. My district has stated that it is too much trouble to accommodate me. I carry an Epipen and have an anaphylaxis reaction to being exposed to citrus. My district is not accepting my doctor note. They think I am exaggerating and refuse to limit citrus fruits on my campus. An HR meeting concluded that I was required to work through it/use the emergency response team if I have “an issue”. Pls share if you have had a different experience

I have an extremely difficult 2.5 year old boy. I know this is a difficult toddler age altogether but I think I’m experiencing way worse. There are frequent tantrums in public settings and it’s very embarrassing. We can’t do anything. He’s in daycare and apparently he thrives, so we just don’t get it. Should we wait it out or consult a behavior therapist?

I keep getting contract offers on LinkedIn (think self-employed consultant). The rates seem really good ($120-$150/hr). I have around 5 years exp and a CISSP. I’m highly considering leaving big4 to become a contractor/self-employed consultant. From a risk perspective I’m young and have no kids and low debt.
Anyone did it? Any feedback?

How do you find out if you have a mental issue, or you just suck at certain things? I’m apprehensive of seeing a therapist - maybe just an innate mistrust of people who have everything to benefit by convincing me I have a problem.

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
