I’m not having harmful thoughts but I’m so sad and scared I wake up in the night crying. It makes me tired and I can barely focus. Ideas?

I’m convinced that every person on earth should see a really good therapist to talk about where these ideas, fears, and worries come from. I believe childhood upbringing has a subtle (sometimes overt) impact on our thoughts and behavior for decades after we leave our parents’ care. It’s okay to be vulnerable around supportive people.

Find a good therapist. Before that, do things that take care of yourself. Exercise, sleep early, eat well. Hang in there!

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today.

I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.
