I’m breaking. Each day is a marathon. I can’t afford to drop the ball on any of a million things. There’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Feeling stuck. How am I supposed to get up every day and do this all over again?

Does anyone have experience where, when one thing goes “wrong”, and not even that it was wrong a mistake, but a complication, you feel overwhelming dread, stress and you shut down and can’t function? When you’re in litigation, this happens so frequently but I can’t control my reaction to anything! Help!

Is it true that a guy never notices another guy but notices all the girls? My boyfriend and I just had a discussion about how he does not notice any guys in the gym but notices all the girls. When I tried to put forward my argument saying I notice both guys and girls so it should be the same case for him. He said it’s not the same for the guys. Can I get any male opinion on this or even female if they have experienced something similar in their relationship? Thanks!

I lost my last job a few weeks before Christmas last year and it took me a long while to find a new one. Ultimately I ended up moving to a new city for a job I was really excited about. However, within the first few weeks I suffered a major medical setback which led to a crippling bout of depression. I am finally starting to feel like a person again but I'm afraid the ship has sailed on my having success in my new role.
