So I work as a producer in a marketing department at a startup. I’m frankly over my head in my job which is another issue for another bowl. But how do you handle crippling anxiety at work? I have such a hard time giving direction and running meetings which is so critical to my job. Honestly I feel like I should quit my job or pívot industries which is easier said than done.

Hi OP, I have started doing meditation as I usually feel like you, put in a lot of efforts and go out of the way with prep and on the presentation day when it matters I go into anxiety attacks and then that gets me… it’s too early for me to say meditation has made me calm and focused but some of those jitters are slowly fading, I feel a bit more in control and my sleep pattern has improved a tad.

Try meditation with any exercise of your choice it might help take the edge off, good luck!

I’m looking to buy a full length mirror but I want one that is high-quality and accurate. Right now I have these cheap mirrors in my apartment where the image is distorted to make me look taller and skinnier. Well this has been fantastic for my self-esteem for the past few years it’s shocking when I see what I look like in a normal mirror that isn’t a “skinny mirror.” Anyone have suggestions for a full length large mirror I can hang on the wall that will be high quality and not break the bank?

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

Has anyone else noticed they’re stressed without “feeling” stressed? I don’t feel as stressed as when I was in college.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
