Happy birthday!!! My personal favorite way to celebrate is to buy myself a gift and a good meal. I hope you have a wonderful day, with whatever it is you choose.

First of all Happy Birthday! I think you should tell someone you get along well with and see if they want to grab a meal.

A belated happy birthday to you. And some advice for next year: if you care about people knowing it’s your birthday, tell them. It doesn’t have to be awkward. If someone the week before your birthday is like “what are you doing this weekend?” you can say “well my birthday is on Tuesday some I’m gonna treat myself to something this weekend.” Then they will know and if they don’t say something or do something, they suck.

Thank you :) well it’s just that it’s literary my first week at this job :P so It’s not like I’m sad about it or anything I understand:) I think it’s the alone part more and I agree I should’ve said something to someone ,I just didn’t realize that I will feel like that I thought I’d be fine I usually don’t care about my bdays that much

Happy birthday!!! :)

You could go buy a cake for your team and put on shared space table and say “hey! Have some cake! “. Lol. Make a joke about it and it might turn into fun way to get to know people?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
