I have a diagnosis of anxiety and major depressive order. It got worse with the birth of a child. I see a therapist weekly and a psych for meds. With recent strict RTO, it has intensified and I’m making mistakes/overwhelmed with work. My dr wants to write me a WFH accommodation. I am nervous how I will be viewed if I go this route. Has anyone done this and cont’d to have raises/promotions, etc?

I’m sorry you are going through this. Hang in there…feelings change. I’m not sure what RTO or WFH

They have job accommodations specifically for situations like this. If you have a legitimate reason and your doctor is willing twirl with you, do it. Honestly I'm in office 4 days a week and dream of a happier time when I was allowed to see my husband all day and didn't habe to wear headphones all day. If people ask and they will ask because people are rude, just say I'm not comfortable talking about it.

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.

I suffer from depression. Currently on 150mg Venafaxcine. It seems my depression is worse in the day and I come alive at night. Has anyone experienced this with or without Venafaxcine?
I work remote and I'm currently on the bench. I'm worried because my utilization is low...Im trying to learn new skills and sleepy during the day it makes it hard. I don't get sleepy until 3am because I'm wired/hyped up. I don't know what to do. Without the meds, I won't be able to get out of bed...

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though. Rather than admit the mistake and suggest a new deadline, I just kept saying I’d send it tomorrow/later/so on. And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
