My anxiety and low self esteem have been bad. So bad I’m starting to second guess myself, talk fast during meetings, procrastinating and getting sidetracked easily. Even my memory has been bad. This is now creeping into my work and making anxious thoughts worse. There are emails I should’ve sent since Monday and I didn’t. I’ve been people pleasing.Saying I’ll do what people want to hear, nd falling short.I’m also a manager and I can feel my inability to lead.I’ll look into medicine. Just a vent

Hey Team, with telework and gym closures, I’m looking for a good home workout in the interim. I know P90X, any other recommendations? I have no equipment.

Just got the best lab results I’ve had in 3 years and I’m soooo close to remission. Please let all of this work. Last 7 years dealing with it has been absolute hell

Is everyone always tired?

I need ideas on how to make connections and build trust with your patients while wearing PPE.

Ladies, have you ever had a week of insomnia or irregular sleep pattern during your menstrual cycle? Like not getting deep REM sleep?

Anyone have a brand recommendation for probiotics for gut health? I’m a woman if that makes a difference

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

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?

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

Thanks to the useful post 2weeks ago detailing hangover / post party remedies...I'm trying out a few of those cures now. Thxs y'all #amitooold4thisshit?

Need a pep talk! I've gotten into the habit of snacking/eating out of boredom or when procrastinating, so I decided to mentally hit reset and do a monk fast today (36hrs, not my first one). I'm soooo hungry though 😭 trying to stay strong

Has “We need to get back to normal ASAP!” been drilled into your head as well? I don’t see things going back to normal for A WHILE.

I have been teaching students with special needs for 21 years now. The class size used to be 12:1. Now it’s 15:1, but you can have up to 18 students with the variance. Now my Principal said that you can have up to 19 students!!!! Is anyone else noticing that the self contained class is getting larger?

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

Happy Holiday season!

Anyone know range for signing bonuses for AWS roles level 6 and 7?

A question for the entertainers out there (magicians, dancers, DJs, really just anyone who is hired to work at parties). Have you ever turned down a job because something about the person asking to hire you just felt "off"?

Anyone know any production companies that specialize in shooting luxury fashion content/ broadcast spots?

How many of y'all are on CCPA projects and how are you staying sane?

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

Anyone else super pumped to get their vaccine but also dreading commuting back to the office? Praying we don’t go back to the “old normal”

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

What was the worst conversation of your professional career?

I want to know if anyone else feels like I do: I’ve been on 3 projects (1.5 years) and don’t feel “liked” or valued. I try to authentically connect with others and do my best work on every project team, but nothing seems to work. Even more frustrating are consistently subpar performance reviews, which make me doubt myself and my intelligence/worth. I feel absolutely useless here and can’t operate from a deficit. It’s like I’m like a fish trying to be a bird. Please help, what should I do?

I plan to do something productive every weekend, but never open my laptop to study when weekend approaches. Does anyone have the same problem? I think reasons for this are
1. I'm burnt out..(cont)..

Any woman here who suffers from either PMDD or bipolar disorder? How did your doctors know the difference? I experience severe depression the week before my period and am very easy to set off/lose myself. Like full on hating myself, over sensitivity, and wishing to unalive. Then during my period plus after I return to “manic” happiness and productivity. Both my mother and grandmother were diagnosed as bipolar yet also had menstrual problems and I’m beginning to think they were misdiagnosed.

Not sure what to expect from this app. Kind of new to me. But how do people handle depression and anxiety in the workplace? I’ve been getting panic and anxiety attacks lately. My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin. Has anyone had success with this med? Has it affected your ability to work?

How do you guys deal with the politics of consulting? I have bad anxiety as it is, but it’s really wearing on me. I feel singled out in a lot of cases by colleagues who don’t have much tact (contd)

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?”

Anyone worried about SSRIs and job performance?

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?

Anyone have experience with ketamine or ayahuasca?

So, my timing isn't what it used to be. I left the firm in January after I had a real talk with myself and admitted that this was not what I wanted to do and was not at all good for my mental health.

I called someone “bud” today and now I feel like I’ve become the exact thing I set out to destroy.

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…

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.

Recently was put on the bench and freaking out about being on it too long. Unsure if my career niche (government) is for me. Honestly struggling and hoping I can find a new job but no where is biting.

I’m feeling so depressed. My project is remote and I hate it but no way out. Looking for a new job. I just moved out on my own after living with parents, but now I cry all the time even though (contd)
