My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

My relationship with my parents is a major trigger. If I talked to them in the morning I generally will be in a very crappy mood for the rest of the day…lol

Meds man. Bupropion helped me. It sets off a positive cycle which you can then sustain naturally yourself

Bupropion helped me. That said, each drug is different and hits different chemicals/ activating mechanism.

For me, i was addicted to smoking. Smoking helped me induce a “positive/ confident mood”. I used to quit on weekends around family. These cycles and my natural self created fluctuations similar to OP. Bupropion helped me quit. It helped improve focus astronomically. It also helped me be consistent.

It was lucky that it worked.

You might want to consider changing therapists if you’re not feeling like you’re making progress. Are you being honest with your therapist? My parents were a trigger for my negativity but I put some real distance between us for a while, established thresholds of behavior I would and would not tolerate from them, and I get triggered a lot less. We’re far from close, but it’s not a trigger now. I just didn’t want to accept that I had to suffer through the negativity because of my desire to make the relationship something it was not going to ever be.

I also have been talking to a therapist for almost a year. Exercise regular to get my serotonin in etc. sometimes I feel like my therapist is bored listening to my crappy relationships with my parents, and how much I hate my job that last session she just blatantly asked me what she can do to make it better. Like, there’s nothing, and I feel so hopeless

I have issues “delegating” or simply assigning tasks, which as a Manager is a whole thing.

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
