I’ve been feeling like my new project is super draining. I’m constantly working. Learning new things but my client team has some very difficult personalities. How do just not care as much?

If you’re the personality type to care too much there’s no easy shut off for that. I have been working on boundaries, whether it’s flagging the late night email to be handled in the morning or forcing myself to actually leave my work space during lunch. You have to take time to disconnect from the work to avoid burning out. When you start feeling too emotionally connected (may not be the best description of it, but it’s how I feel sometimes) try getting up from your computer and doing something active to disconnect from it before you go back.

Hi Fishes, I am from non cs background when joined as fresher but now worked in VB net from past 3.5 years with very tough client, can anyone advice how to learn and crack interviews in good companies for career growth. Even if I cracked the interview on basis of self learning, will be sufficient to work effectively in real projects ?
Any guidance or help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The firm has no structure, workflow, standards, etc. and the company is very cheap and does not invest money into their staff. I make 65k with 4 yr experience. Should i leave?

I’ve had several times in my life that anxiety peaked but I didn’t need to go on meds. My anxiety is back and stronger than ever. My heart rate is constantly high, I can’t sleep, and have nightmares for weeks now. It literally paralyzes me that I can’t do anything some days. I’m thinking about going to psychiatrist but afraid of being on meds. Anybody here can tell me what is their experience with anxiety medications (advantages, side effects)? Or are there alternatives to meds?

Sometimes it feels like I can't tell dreams vs memories apart bc my dreams are so vividly realistic but my life memories are fading/slipping due to suppression (not talking about them, not reliving them) and mostly since becoming anti-social after some PTSD events and growing up hyper independent. Most of the time I question if something I "remember" happened in real life, or if it was something from a dream.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need help? How do I ask for help? Who to ask?
