I’ve been reflecting and realized I have a lot of unhealed trauma and my mind is just fucked. Sometimes I wish my brain was normal like other people. So tired of the attachment, obsession, rumination, anxiety, depression. 😔 So much work to do and meds to take just to try and be a normal person.

I still see the eyes of my patients as they are intubated and the fear they projected. So many died. My heart hurts for them, their families and all of those who cared for them until the end. Having some serious PTSD from this pandemic.

Help! Any nurses in the DMV who can recommend a quick ( need it yesterday) BLS card provider? The guy I used to use for BLS training stopped during the pandemic. Any suggestions would be great! THANKS 🙏🏽

Any pregnancy tracking app you’ll love? That gives week by week development info, etc?

Does anyone else feel exhausted? I’m at week 16 now, and I need a nap daily! I remember being slightly tired in first trimester but I feel as if I can’t function right now! It’s definitely worse after lunch/eating. Any tips or tricks please??

Just saw an ad for Kesimpta for MS and gotta say, one the most predicting fair balance lines I’ve ever heard. “While no cases of PML were reported in RMS clinical trials, it could happen.” Wow. Massive government overreach. Clinical trials are now irrelevant when it comes to any class effect. And yes I’ve been doing this DTC thing since it all started.

Thinking of breaking up with my long term boyfriend but have gained 50lbs in the 6 years we have been together and terrified no one else will find me attractive or love me at this weight… especially since the 25lbs I gained during quarantine last 1.5 years has already strained this relationship where he already loved me.

I know this bowl isn’t the most active, but my grandmother is in the hospital for Covid (severely high risk), grandfather has it, as does my mom and 8 year old brother. My mom is also experiencing PTSD or some form of mental issue where she has certain triggering events. Everyone is concerned about her and my grandmother. Please keep my family in your prayers

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.

Has anyone else struggled with chronic depression but been functional? Even with antidepressants I feel like I’ve been low-grade depressed for a few years, but on the outside appear fine to people

What are other options besides therapy and meds? I can’t sit through another appointment of someone asking if I’m thinking of hurting myself or others without getting something from it.

does anyone else ever want to permanently disassociate with their immediate and extended family? we’ve never really gotten along smoothly and even in this time of my need (which is rare) they keep putting themselves first so i’m not exactly sure what’s the point of them being around since my quality of life is so much better without them.

Just learned today that client is cutting the budget and might have to let me go because of my manager rate. I know it's not me but i hate it when this happens because it triggers my anxiety.

Just had my principal call me in to talk for 30 minutes about how my manager is disappointed with my work. My manager has said nothing to me at all. I just want to cry and scream. CONT’D

Anyone willing to share their experience w Zoloft (starting, ending, if you had alcohol during, etc) ? May be starting medicine treatment for the first time and would love to learn about some personal experiences

It just won’t stop. In life or at work. In the office it seems like I can’t get ahead and every day it’s some new catastrophe I have to deal with. Outside of work it’s the same. Just one thing after another. On top of that money issues don’t help. Just can’t seem to get to a place where I’m dictating the pace of life and not having it dictated to me.

I really dislike what I do for a living. I know I will be changing jobs soon but it’ll still be in the same industry. I feel extremely hopeless when I begin to worry that I will be doing this for the next 30 years...I get nervous just thinking about wasting my life like this.

What’s the point of it all?

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Has anyone used the Fisher Wallace stimulator (home version) to treat anxiety and depression? Recently recommended by a doctor. Would love to hear what results/benefits you experienced, if any.

I’ve found listening to music that’s 417hz, closing my eyes, and breathing in from my nose & out from my mouth calms my anxiety incredibly well. Just sharing for others to try.

How do I keep anxiety at bay as I start my job search? I haven't interviewed in a long time, and kinda feel like I got lucky the last time I did. I am dreading the process of applying and rejections..

My anxiety is at an all time high given the current situation and I cannot function wfh. I’m scared to say anything out of fear of getting laid off. But I’m constantly sick from stress and anxiety.
