I have been working on my mental health (journaling/meditating) but I found that I have a short fuse. I use to have a massive anger managment problem when I was a kid (was prob due to my ADD). I find that it snaps when I’m with people I closest to (like my wife). For example-we’re about to head out to a party and she asks me if I want to change my shirt. I punched a wall in my head…

Any tips? I try to focus on breathing.

I was like that too. The first day I went on Prozac I couldn’t believe how much calmer I was with my kids. The short fuse could be anxiety.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
