So burnt out. Been an assistant too long and looking but no one is hiring. My current salary doesn’t cover rent and wide is in school. Have no motivation to work.

In a bad place. Have to move to a new city where I don’t know anyone (other than my husband) unemployed. I’ve reached out to every recruiter and applied to every job - nothing. My anxiety (ctd)

I don't understand why people fear death. What I fear is suffering. The dead do not suffer. It seems like just going to sleep. Like going home.

Do you just feel bad all the time? Functional and choosing to be happy but just a deep bad-ness clinging to the side of your chest like a remora.

Does anyone else wake up with crippling anxiety? It’s either suffer through this or take Valium and feel tired all day. It’s a mess. Just looking for any support out there.

Hello, fish friends. Hope you’re having a relaxing weekend.

I’m a new community leader for this bowl, and I was wondering — is there anything you’d like to see more of here? Things you’d like to see less of? Anything I can do to help?

This bowl has helped me through my own mental health journey, and I hope it’s been beneficial to you, too.

Betterhelp, Talkspace and other e-counseling services...do they work? Are they worth it?

Its my first time working at an agency. Are they usually this fragmented and disorganized. I can't keep up and it's giving me a lot of anxiety.
