I’m feeling overwhelmed and bad at my job. Small things at work are throwing me into a self-hate spiral that I’m at least aware of but I feel myself slipping into another depression over it...

It helps me to force myself to be more social vs. ruminating at home. Surrounding myself with people that will motivate me to do the things that bring me joy — see that movie, go to that museum, hit up that park.

I’m listening to an audiobook on mindfulness which is helping majorly. Know it’s such a depression buzzword but there’s a reason for it. I’ve found that practicing the skills even just while I’m reading helps reduce my anxiety pretty significantly.

Still the struggle is real and I feel like I’m living “paycheck to paycheck” with my serotonin levels 😂 So if it makes you feel any better, you are definitely not alone. Hope you feel strong soon xo

You are definitely not alone. Agree with everything CW1 said.
Sometimes unplugging a bit from work, still do your job well but maybe not the full effort, just for a set period of time helps me. Then take that extra energy/time and pour it into something else. Whether that’s a new hobby, building deeper or new relationships, practice a new routine for self care/exercise, clean and organize your living space, or whatever just get your head right.

I’m not sure if I can make the cut or if it’s even healthy for me to keep perusing my current role. I’ve got a new psychiatrist appointment coming up in about a month but it’s gotten to the point where getting up is effort. How do you deal.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

Has anyone ever heard of someone becoming bulimic in their late 20’s?

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.
