Yep, very recently I read something that helped me stomach financial loss as well as other stress and anxiety.

I developed a lot of “pillars” I held onto that I identified myself with so strongly that any damage or event that contradicts them, had hurt me so much and drove me until a emotional panic.

The advice was, “take a step back and imagine if all of that pillar went away, would you still be alive and breathing?” And the answer usually is yes.

It helped me sleep better and focus on my work, and calm down when I have episodes.

Going forward I will try my best to manage my thought patterns and to avoid anxiety episodes, they happened too often this year, but I’m glad I might have a better tool now to help handle.

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go). Tried to schedule time with a therapist but everyone has a months-long waitlist so next step might be trying to find a life/career coach

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
