Idk if it’s from the years of mental/emotional abuse or lack of boundaries / respect, but seeing my family has become awkward and tough. I went home for dinner today and just like other times - we don’t talk or I have to force conversation (so plans this weekend or what you do this week). I’m the oldest and trying to set an example for my sister but it’s tough. Idk if anyone else can relate. I legit came over for 1.5 hrs and left.

Is it an issue for paraprofessionals to take food off of a child’s tray if the child chooses to not eat it? I found out one of my aides does it and I don’t know if I should tell her to stop

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.

I feel like I am drowning. My mom’s first year anniversary is coming up, things are not good at home with my dad and sister, I am about to breakup with my SO, and deeply unsatisfied with my job.

What are the top questions you get about big law work over Thanksgiving? Mine is never actually about my work and always some variation of "if you work that much how will you ever get married." Flying home this weekend so bring on the wine!

Dear boomers: please stop believing everything you see on Facebook or Twitter is the truth. You guys have no idea how many times I've had to chat with my parents about the fact that if an image or a text post isn't coming from a proper source, then it was probably written by some teenager in their bedroom. Anyone else?

What's your go-to work music? Or do you work better in complete silence? I can't work in silence without my brain getting loud, so I listen to house music or jazz while I work. My sister (who also has ADHD) can't get anything done unless it's dead silent. Just wondering what works for others

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

I have a 5 day weekend for thanksgiving. I don’t have any plans. BF of 7 months is unable to spend even part of it with me due to family obligations. Is this a red flag?

SO says I don’t acknowledge things for what they are and I try to find excuses. It’s been a big red flag for him and he sees it as immaturity and shadiness. I think he takes what I do the wrong way, and only try to explain my intent. I don’t know how to fix this

Fish who got married young… what age and what made you feel ready? And do you regret it?

Anyone have/is a sugar baby or sugar daddy/mommy??

Okay, we live in an pet friendly apartment in downtown Chicago. I love dogs while my SO is just getting comfortable with so many of them in our apartment complex. I really really want to get one home but it might just bum him out. Any leads on how to approach this situation? I thought fostering might help.

I don't have any friends in banglore. It is hard for me to find friends cause i am always that aloof kid who in addition is not straight so can't even bond with my teammates. How do people live like this. Even my flatmates don't talk . : (

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

Can someone please explain why some people bring up past emotional hurts during arguments even if you’ve apologized for them and they haven’t happened again? But they still feel the need to weaponize this moment and throw it in your face. And before anyone asks, no it’s not infidelity… just looking for advice/insight here

I am a brand new mom in the Milton/Alpharetta area and I’m wondering how other moms navigated meeting new mom friends? I would love to find a good group (or just a few random) girlfriends - they don’t even have to be moms, but in this season of life, it feels like that might be the most natural connector. All suggestions welcome! If there are specific groups/activities you recommend, that would be super helpful.

Just because someone stays late at the office, doesn’t mean they are the hardest and smartest worker. Many people that get to the office really late or dick around playing video games are these people

Somewhat of a homebody but I do enjoy going out and exploring if I'm in company of friends. If I'm alone I'd rather be home and watch a psychological drama/thriller.

When renting a room in London from Spareroom, is it acceptable to invite a friend to stay let's say for a week or so ? Can I also have friends staying overnight ?

Thanks !

Finding that I can't think of ideas/responses as quickly as before. And also sometimes what I say doesn't come out to make much sense. Not sure if this is the result of overthinking or something else.

I am struggling with anxiety really badly but don’t wanna take meds. Anyone else have fixed their anxiety naturally without any meds?

LAST DAY OF CONSULTING!!!!

So how did you fix your depression?
What was the final solution that helped pull you out of that funk?
Was it a specific medicine? Therapy? A combination of?
I am working out and eating healthier, but still struggle with depression and anxiety.
I’m tired of the frequent thoughts of nothingness, the lack of any desire to do things, as well as the constant and immeasurable need for me to force myself to do things.
I just want to be happy.
I don’t want to ruminate on mistakes.
I want to be free.

On the verge of quitting because I’m stressed, depressed, feel like I’m constantly frustrated with everyone and everything. Don’t have an alternative lined up ...but also less and less able to cope

Dealing with post partum dep/anx. On my 5th day of Zoloft 50mg for the first time and the days are still really really hard. Is it the side effects? How long before I should feel somewhat better/normal? Really struggling today. Any insight into your experience would mean a lot.

Yesterday was a good day. I was really impressed with myself. I woke up at 5, practiced dance lessons, did two water colors, made breakfast and tea, got to work by 10, put in 8-10 hours of solid work and then came home. It’s been ages since I painted or danced.
However today, I slept till 7:00, did not work out or have food. Still got to work by 10 and did 8 solid hours of work.
Some days are good and some are just okay. And that is okay. Trying to build on my good days and we all can. :)

I’m scared to be happy, and feel worthless/hopeless most days. I feel like a burden on everyone and feel like I’m losing control of my life, even though things are “okay" by reasonable standards

How do I shake these feelings? HR meeting late this week, no idea what to expect. Preparing for the worst and am so on edge

I’m not sure the best bowl to post this in, but thought this would be suitable. We have a family dog who is over 14 years old. She is blind and going deaf, and practically can’t do anything for herself anymore. We have to carry her everywhere and feeding her is a nightmare because she refuses food constantly yet whines and barks that she’s hungry. She doesn’t play much anymore, mostly just lounges on the couch but has to be next to a family member because she can’t stand being alone. Contin…

I feel like I’m becoming a very anhedonic person. Feel super ashamed because my life is great. Have a beautiful son, good job, loving family, but I’ve had the feeling for years now that I married the wrong person. I feel like a horrible person. Im always in my head and it keeps me from enjoying the moments I have with my loved ones.

Just got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and I’m not really sure what to do or where to go from here. Honestly I feel pretty numb. I know it’s a reach but does anyone here have it / something similar and have any advice?

Sometimes it feels like I can't tell dreams vs memories apart bc my dreams are so vividly realistic but my life memories are fading/slipping due to suppression (not talking about them, not reliving them) and mostly since becoming anti-social after some PTSD events and growing up hyper independent. Most of the time I question if something I "remember" happened in real life, or if it was something from a dream.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need help? How do I ask for help? Who to ask?

We got a puppy and I am losing my mind

I recently started using virtual therapy via betterhelp. How do you all know if therapy sessions are effective or not?

I’ve been a little depressed after being laid off from my job I only had for 6 months. I took this job to be closer to home with the intention of this being a long term job for me. I’m so lost. I’ve been spending hours and hours trying to update my resume, but at the same time, I’ve been thinking if I want to stay on the same career path because it's what I know and have been doing for 15-plus years. I worry I will fall into a job I don't want.
