So annoyed with people wanting me to be social/talkative a the time! If I’m around you for 4 days straight, by day 4 maybe I just don’t feel like talking!!!!

D1 terrible response! Do you have empathy?!

I don’t think I can determine what you’re cut out for by reading one comment from you BUT I will say that something that’s helped me (an introvert with anxiety and depression) is to manage my energy prior to supporting any on site events and to attempt to manage it in-the-moment. I take short breaks throughout the day to go breathe or step outside in the sun or do a self-check of my emotional/mental status and use that pulse check to determine my path for the day. It’s been really helpful for me.

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

Is anyone trying to improve their mental/overall emotional health but no one close to you is working on themselves the same way? It’s just frustrating bc every time I talk to some friends they still get the same type of judgmental reactions like we used to be like 10 years ago. I’m just trying to live and accept everything but I just don’t feel like they get it.

Really trying not to spiral, and my practice group leader has been openly hostile to and dismissive of me lately. I haven’t mentioned my depression/anxiety to him because we’re not exactly getting along swimmingly, but I don’t know who else to talk to about my MH. Fighting with my wife hasn’t helped either. Really not sure how to handle it aside from counseling but that isn’t getting me anywhere fast. Thoughts?

A reminder to those who are stressed about your billable hours that your value is more than your pure productivity.
