So I think my depression and anxiety is full put Bi polar disorder.. I can see how I don't fit in with other people. I'm scared and lonely. Many weeks I call a suicide help line just to get through..

I’ve found myself super depressed and full of self-doubt. Deep down I know that I’m a strong employee, a good friend and mom, a loving wife—but sometimes my own limiting voice keeps my from reaching my full potential. I’m in my early 30s and still criticize my weight, the way I interact, what I wear, etc. On some days that inner voice is so loud that I make mistakes that could have otherwise been avoided because I’m in my own head. Am I alone? What should I do?

Recently ended a 3+ yr relationship (were both mid 20s and living together for just under 2 years) bc of him buying an engagement ring yet not proposing and waffling about our future. After 2 weeks I brought up that there’s a lot of good in us that maybe worth trying to work on (counseling etc). He wants space first and asked me to not wait for him as he sorts out his emotions and “tries to be happy again” (COVID depression and 100hr work weeks). Then he’ll decide if he wants to try again

Are people including information on COVID protocols on their wedding websites for Summer/Fall 2022 weddings? I’m getting married Sept 2022 and I’m unsure whether to put a note about COVID on our website since it’s still so far out. Are others including info about potential protocols? If so, would you mind sharing what you have on your website (or whatever other kind of information source you’re using for your guests)? Thank you!

For the parents with babies - is anyone finding formula in stock? We give my daughter enfamil nutramigen and cannot find it anywhere. Looked at CVS, Wegmans, Target, Harris Teeter. Even pediatrician didn’t have samples.

I always loved medicine, so I exceeded on first aid training, but I'm scared of not being able to remember how to do everything correctly when in an emergency situation. I don't want to lose any of my buddies because I panic and don't remember how to treat a bullet wound. Do you really remember everything in this kind of life and death situation?

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

Hey Fishes,
Any job opportunity in Product Management?
I have 3 years experience on tech side and want to move to Product Management space. Would be fine with Associate/Junior Product Manager.

I do not have form16, form26AS and salary slips for a job I did in a startup in 2016-17 which KGS has asked for in background verification process. Although I have submitted experience letter, relieving letter and offer letter for the same I'm not sure what will happen next. Can they roll back the offer letter? I'm not sure what will happen next, can anyone help me?

Need some help finding a new social media agency for my client. Which social-first agencies are doing the best work?

Anybody moved back to USI recently? I'm supposed to travel back soon and getting a bit anxious about the 14hr journey (haven't flown since the pandemic began). Would it be fair to ask Deloitte for business class instead of economy? I guess it would be easier to maintain social distancing in business, but would it even matter?

For those of you that suck a*s at options, why not pay a small fee to copy a professional? eToro is doing it for crypto lol. Why continue to go bankrupt when you can emotionally blame it on someone else! 😂

Hi fishes. Need some advice. I told my manager that I will be resigning soon so that they can find a replacement. I am awaiting the offer letter right now. They have asked me to start the resignation process anyways but I am worried that If I don't get the offer letter then I might be out of a job. Also I want to wait to get appraisal letter before resigning so that I can negotiate a higher base with other companies. What should I do?

One day at a time. If that's too hard, one hour at a time. Too long? One minute. F that? One second. Keep pushing though.

Moms with anxiety: how do you do it? Husband and I want to start a family soon, but the thought of managing my own anxiety while raising a human is terrifying 😱

Idk if it’s from the years of mental/emotional abuse or lack of boundaries / respect, but seeing my family has become awkward and tough. I went home for dinner today and just like other times - we don’t talk or I have to force conversation (so plans this weekend or what you do this week). I’m the oldest and trying to set an example for my sister but it’s tough. Idk if anyone else can relate. I legit came over for 1.5 hrs and left.

I’m so done with everything

Do any of you have days when you start getting rid of all of your stuff? I think of end of life ceremonies a lot, so when I see all my stuff, I get overwhelmed by it bigtime and want to sell it off.

What are you doing to feel less alone right now?
I’m alone and living in a city where I don’t know anyone, so I’m alone all the time and don’t talk to anyone face to face... I facetime friends and family (9 hr time diff), but I think the isolation and lack of live human contact and interaction is really getting to me. I think I’ve been coping with overeating and constant screen time. I feel so out of control.

I did not get a full time offer from my internship this past summer at a top consulting firm they told me on the second to last day. I have been trying to recruit at other consulting firms however haven’t received any offers yet. I struggle with severe depression and anxiety and often struggle with telling others when I struggle with it. I am having thoughts of ending it all because of the combined stress of school and now recruiting with little opportunities left.

See a therapist. Talking about it in person helps.

I'm drinking nearly every day to just deal with it all.

I'm doing fairly decent at work. The money is ok, with the very high probability of being more than i could have realistically ever dreamed. But my personal life is on the rocks -- and alcohol is basically the only thing keeping me level enough to balance it all.

This can't be sustainable. But Idk what else to really do. It works for now.

How to deal with aging parents when living in another state? I visit when I can but now in airport waiting to leave, feeling guilt and deep sadness.

My mind is all over the place. Coach/RL performance meeting tomorrow with HR invited. Was told not to worry, but how can’t I? “we wanted to have HR present to ensure we communicate correctly”. no idea what this means and I’m scared 😔

One quote I found useful: “We overestimate how much we can do in a year and underestimate how much we can do two or three decades” - Tony Robbins

I think this really applies to us...
