It’s not really fair that she’s using you as an outlet for her complaints though. That does a lot of damage. Are you seeing a therapist?

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD. It’s all very new to me still and my doctor keeps pushing me to go on meds. Does anyone else here struggle with ADHD? How are you able to manage it in the workplace? Did you end up going on meds for it and that helps? Or did you take a non-medicated route? I really don’t want to take drugs if I don’t have to so hearing your personal experiences would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

I find myself questioning my existence daily now. I think about what it would be like to just no longer exist - and what a relief it might be instead of just seeing wallowing in misery all of the time. It seems like this is my regular mindset and I don’t know what to do. I like anyone recommend meds? Is it time for that? I don’t really want to go that route, but I also know that I can’t continue to live like this either.
