Mental health is really tanking so hard. Working with this person who is also my coach. This person has way too high expectation for me - expects me to know everything because I was on the account before. I want to look for other options but can’t really move freely due to visa restrictions. I feel hopeless, tired, and depressed. I don’t know what to do.

Hello, I just had to vent a little and maybe ask for your opinion. So I’ve been working at my job for four years now and I’ve never gotten a promotion. On top of this, I do extra duties that my coworkers don’t do and struggle with the work load. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of and am not sure what to do. I feel like going to my boss and refusing to continue to do these extra tasks without extra compensation. Am I being a baby about this?

Changed jobs recently to an employer who does a much higher 401k match. But I have already maxed my 401K (i.e. $19.5K) before leaving my last job.
Can I withdraw my contribution from the old 401k (and pay tax consequently) to benefit from the new employer match?

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

4th yr lit assoc: I left my last firm (because I knew it was on the verge of imploding) confident I’d quickly find another job. It’s been three months, and I was turned down by three firms for which I really thought I’d be a great fit. I know I have to keep going, but I’m finding it hard to keep putting myself out there, and I’m finding it even harder to believe I have anything to offer any firm rn. I’d appreciate any words of encouragement, dog pictures, pick-me-up ideas, etc. Thank you.

Does anyone else go through giants swings of clarity/confusion? I have these moments where I’m sure 2020 is going to be my year, and the other moments where I just ask myself, “what’s the point?”

I’m really struggling mentally. The understanding of how insanely busy and overwhelming it will be because of this COVID-19 crap is giving me severe anxiety and panic attacks. I want to leave so badly but no one is hiring right now. I don’t know what to do. I feel trapped with no way out.

My fiancé (6 years together) just left me from the other side of the world. Feel pretty numb but know the sadness will come. Gutted

Very quick note to say I think it takes a lot of courage for our industry colleagues to open up on here about their mental health concerns, esp considering the shitshow of consulting...

I feel stuck. This job is hard. Feels like lots of people piling on while I’m away from home and my SO. It would be nice to feel more supported and have less toxic clients.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

I always avoid talking on the phone as much as possible. I’ve always been like this for some reason. I feel like don’t have anything good to say to keep the other person engaged even if it’s a friend. Anybody overcome a fear like this?

Has anyone been approved for short term disability for depression? What was the process like?

I am realising that “being happy at work” is a myth, and the whole love what you do stuff is also BS. Novelty wears off eventually. I guess job/work is something I’ll have to do if I want to be able to afford the luxuries of life and I’ll need to find happiness elsewhere. Does anyone else feel the same way? I don’t want to be negative but I feel I need to change something somewhere.

need vent - I'm having real anxiety, my mom/boss owns the family law firm that she built from the ground up, older sister helped (literally runs the office, payroll, and paralegal). My sister has been out for health reasons (at one point we thought cancer).
Our last paralegal was acting petty because she hasn't gotten raise, and mom hasn't given her raise because she acts petty and doesn't do what she's told all the time. Today she quit. I'm afraid my mom has unrealistic expectations

So I adopted a cat during quarantine. Although I love him, having him seems to have worsened my anxiety. I would never give him away but the responsibility has been giving me severe anxiety. Even though I had thought long and hard about getting him. I think coupled with the fact I started a new job a month ago, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m starting medication this week and hoping it will help me. But right now, I am so stressed out and anxious :/ any tips? Or words of encouragement?

What “self help” books are you guys reading? I just read Untamed by Glennon Doyle and wow, I want to start from the beginning again, but feel like I should read something else. Would love any suggestions.

Hi fish friends - I’ve been on and off lexapro for five years - my current prescription looks like it’ll end next month and the doctor I got I from didn’t add any new refills. I didn’t love him or the practice and want to find a new doctor close to home (rather than close to work, with WFH still going strong)

Do I schedule another appt with the first guy to keep my pills going? Or let it lapse and get reevaluated by a new doctor?

Have a job interview for a role I’m excited about tomorrow but I’m so depressed and tired I can’t even muster up the energy to prep. Any words of encouragement would be great
