I’m working on a work deliverable which is proving to be challenging, I’m at a point where I really feel like giving up. The manager who’s managing has previously made comments about how I’m not measuring up and the fact that I’m struggling with deliverable is giving me anxiety to an extent that I’m not able to focus and actually ensure that I do a good job. Feel so miserable and exhausted and I do not know what to do!

Do you have a coworker you can talk with to help you get refocused and bounce ideas off? At a minimum I’d suggest taking a 15 min break and going on a walk outside, praying, meditating, doing something to distract you from work for a few minutes so you can get refocused.

Sorry to hear that. I know the feeling. Is there another person you can go to feedback before sharing with the manager? Can you try turning around the deliverable a bit early so you have time to work through the feedback? Are you having trouble understanding exactly what they want?

At this rate I don’t think I’ll make deadline, I’m actually thinking of asking for an extension and hopefully it doesn’t reflect negatively.

It’s tedious and I have to read through ton of verbose documentation about 1000 pages in a field that I’m not familiar with. I feel completely lost!

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean
