To what degree do you share your mental health issues with your team? I went through a period of depression and recently got comments back that I need to fix my attitude. Is it worth mentioning now?

I think it depends on the team. I have a very accepting team and have a senior who has been very open about her mental health. You need to look at they people you are around. Unfortunately mental health still has a stigma thankfully a lot of people are more accepting of it but some people still have the rub some dirt on it attitude.

That being said always put your health first.

I really believe it depends on the team, but it is an issue that should be approached since it definitely impacts work! I opened up to my team, and I should’ve opened up sooner. They lightened my load and helped me through it. I know that at EY there are also resources, Im sure other big4 have it .

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

One of my out of state REs is suggesting that birth control for three weeks before having starting a cycle.
