Juggling three engagements. Behind on all of them. Dealing with healthy issues. I’m just swamped and don’t know what to do.

I either delegate, prioritize, or set boundaries.
- Who else knows how to do this? (Delegate)
- What or when is it needed? (Prioritize)
- Can I complete it before or later than the 1st task? (Prioritize)
- Say, "Sorry, I'm not available for that task in the time frame needed. I have other priorities and deadlines to meet.". (Boundaries)

I've had to do that myself. Don't feel guilty about it either. They didn't seem to mind disrespecting your space.

If you’re dealing with health issues… it’s almost always best to step away…

I deal with this all the time… we work in a high stress and demanding profession… people respect the fact that you prioritize your health… I need my team to be happy, healthy and performing… if that means that you had to take 2-3 months away, absolutely take the time…

I think that we live in a society where people would rather die at their desk, than say that they need to take care of themselves… it’s upsetting, and should be discouraged…

can you delegate anything? or take a half day to catch up on rest!

Unfortunately no, on all three. I have no associates or help.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

I see a lot of people who have crippling anxiety here work out to feel better. My crippling anxiety kind of paralysis my legs (or at least feels like it to the point that I can’t even walk). Does anyone have similar symptoms and solution for it?

Have you ever not eaten for a really long time but just can’t? I’m tired and hungry but there’s some sort of...wall. I can’t get myself to do it. Not anorexic, I’m chubby, but...anxiety.

For anyone who needs to hear this today, I want you to know that you matter. You have touched someone’s life. The world is a better place because you are here. You may not see it or feel it today, but it please know that it is true.

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.
