Trying to overcome my anxiety and be able to control my emotions better. Any tips or book recommendations? I’ve currently talked to a professional, meditated, journaled and exercised.

I would try to generally identify what it is that triggers your anxiety (or what thing(s) that prevents it are absent) and then try to pin it down as specifically as possible.
- I am generally stressed to wale up everyday > because work is stressful > because of the early mornings / lack of team communication / because X

If you're already speaking with a professional idk what else I can add. Just sitting with yourself and really exploring to get to the root isn't for everyone but I personally find it helpful.

Oh I would prioritize finding a therapist you speak with at minimum on a bi-weekly cadence. Hit and miss session scheduling is a nonstarter

Does EY have any mental health/coaching resources? No longer at Deloitte so I don’t remember what all they have, but my current company has free sessions with Lyra and I’ve been working with a coach to get through my anxiety around virtual meetings and presentations. Would highly recommend. But yeah...between that and exercise, that’s been the most helpful. I know you’ve already tried some of this but, just know that you’re not alone in going through this stuff. It’s an anxious time and it’s okay to feel anxiety right now, and lots of other emotions too.

Thank you, yeah EY has counseling sessions and will also start with a coach within the next few weeks. I’ll still continue my current methods but wanted to see what other factors I could try as well.

Reading something called the “Personal Bill of Rights” every morning helps me a lot. I do it right after meditation or immediately after an anxiety provoking interaction. Google it.

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol. This is the most sober I've been in a long time and generally I feel a lot better but it would be so easy to get drunk. Physically the consequences are what are keeping me from doing it. It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Finally hit my breaking point. Been nothing but irritable & pissed off these past few weeks. Coach asked me on Friday when I’ll be taking time off & I just broke down. I’m a top performer & a workhorse. I’ve put so much effort into making sure my team is okay I forgot about myself. Now I am buried in work, performance is dropping & I can’t stop crying randomly. I kept telling people I am drowning but no one was listening. Coach is leaning to tell everyone to backoff thankfully.
