K so. My bf just told me he is an atheist. I knew he wasn’t super religious, but our talks before made me think he atleast believed in some sort of afterlife. I know everyone has their own opinion..

But believing that our consciousness completely stops existing and just goes black after this life is extremely depressing to me and is a huge trigger for my anxiety disorder. How do I handle this? Having one half believe they’ll see each other in the next phase of this life and the other thinking everything will just go dark is not settling well with me.

If that's a thing that ranks high in importance for you, you should talk about it. My boyfriend is a "energy is neither created nor destroyed" kind of person so he can't wait until he's one with the dirt and is contributing to earth in it's next phase. I like to believe that there's ::s o m e t h i n g:: but idk what. Honestly the good place's version of the bad place isn't even that bad to me so I'd be down. But we've talked about each others' view points and appreciate the perspective. But it's not a huge deal to either of us so it's not an issue. There's nothing wrong with either opinion but it should be talked about so you feel better about continuing the relationship.

At least he’s honest with you. Unlike say... religion.

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?

Has anyone else noticed they’re stressed without “feeling” stressed? I don’t feel as stressed as when I was in college. However, I’m still on the job hunt and I think stress is manifesting itself without me realizing it. My skin is showing really bad acne, I feel unmotivated even to fill out job applications; I’m having trouble falling asleep at night and even though I sleep past noon sometimes I still feel tired during the day... Is it stress or burnout?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
