I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?

I’m trying to accept that my dad just isn’t going to start taking care of himself. He’s been about 100 pounds overweight for maybe 14 years now. He’s talked so many times about getting in better shape, eating right, losing weight. He’s lost 20-30 lbs a couple times but then goes back to where he started. He turns 60 this month and I’m really becoming concerned about heart disease and other issues. I’ve tried supporting him in many ways over the years. Just ready to give up now.

Hey all, question about a toxic organization. I’ve rided it out in sales as an AE at an org for 2 years and now I truly feel my mental health suffers.

Is this a normal thing in sales?

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so?

the lower part of that range, is acceptable, but low for market in the area. Should i ask about benefits?

When anxious, time seems to speed up which makes one perceive time constraints when tackling tasks.

When not anxious, an hour feels like eternity and sufficient time to knock out tasks.

Mine is to meditate, pop a klonopin, and write in a journal. This 30 minute routine quiets the mind and removes distractions.
