Started a new job and my anxiety has never been higher. There is so much adjustment and change in this busy time and I feel like I’m so behind. It’s only been a week and I already feel like a failure.

So I had this not long ago when I started a new job. I hate that anxiety :( Try to focus on knowing it will get easier, things will start making sense etc. Remember its okay to ask for help too - I was bullied pretty badly at a previous job so I'm having to relearn basic stuff like that! It takes a good few months to get going in any job! Please try to go easy on yourself!

Thank you for this.

Currently working as a sales engineer and thinking of doing a part time CS Masters in Penn State. The main purpose is that my role is perceived as none technical and a CS Masters would keep technical opportunities open for me (my undergrad is mechanical engineering).
I could be technical by learning on the side, but I do want the degree as proof.
Any thoughts or advice or would this be a waste of time? This is more a defensive play.

Last December, my mom said I needed to check myself into a mental hospital. It was a deliberate attempt to hurt, she knew I was getting help and not at risk.

We've had little contact this year but I feel intense guilt about her not seeing her grandkid much. Im learning about our intergenerational trauma and how to set better boundaries. She continually violates them. She sends texts to say I'm "mean" and "ruining the holidays".

Does the guilt go away? Do you go no contact, kid included?

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…
