Up antidepressant dosage or quit?
Relatively new position at a coveted firm as their Marketing and BD manager. Have suffered burnout and depressive episodes previously: can feel the symptoms raising it’s head. Most importantly, struggling to tolerate how directors speak to me, whereas previously I wouldn’t take it personally and get on with it. Actively looking for a different position as I’ve come to discover this company exploits EME employees, but want to attempt to end on a “high note”.

I would try to discuss upping the dosage with my doctor, especially if you can feel yourself struggling and it’s gotten worse. It can make a world of difference!

So this is something to definitely talk with your doctor on. Upping might help. As might something to supplement it for anxiety specifically. This sounds a lot like my GAD symptoms where I had no patience or tolerance for people and tasks I normally would, and until I got something specifically for that on top of my antidepressants it was rampant.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
