What kind of grounding exercises (if any) do you use? I use one where you list out 5 things you see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can smell, 2 things you can feel, and 1 internal truth.

EY - this might be just me but I’m very closed off and don’t do a good job of thinking about or expressing how I feel. So even the process of writing these short little reflections kind of helps provide me with some sort of outlet. I find doing a quick 2-3 minute reflection in the app actually helps me feel a bit better even if I haven’t identified a ton of negative thought patterns, but YMMV.

Hi Fishes,

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

I’ve been on the same dose the past few months but recently it’s been causing a pretty bad crash for me so I wanted to lower it. Why the hell do I need to pay $60 for 10m of her time to prescribe me a lower dose of the same meds?

I’m wondering if I’m overreacting, or she’s purposefully trying to just get paid more

How do you deal with irrational anxiety whenever your boss is saying “hey let’s schedule 1:1, I’ve got a few things to discuss”? I’ve never had a bad performance rating before, quite the opposite I have received positive feedback. I also know 99% of the time this meeting is harmless and my anxiety has been proven wrong many times. But I’m still always on edge whenever this kind of meeting is scheduled. 😩

Also, yes I do go to therapy and have discussed this issue, but it hasn’t helped
