SM001

Hursty Fair play, Hursty. Getting help isn’t easy and takes a certain amount of strength and courage. I’ve suffered with anxiety all of my adult life. This situation hasn’t helped obviously but being able to reach out to someone just to talk/vent is so important. Also exercise, sleep, nutrition and having some sort of creative outlet or “hobby” are vital.

SM001 It’s definitely the hardest part and I, like most people waited until it was causing issues at home before reaching out.

SM001 I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and general anxiety when I was in my late teens. It’s always an uphill battle. Totally agree with what SM’s said here….getting back into talk therapy during lockdown has really helped me, along with getting outdoors. My anxiety got worse for a while, and I had to increase my meds for it, but I’m finally starting to feel like I can ramp that back down again.

Haven’t we already had one of these threads recently?

This isn’t a trabs thread where the more you have, the better.

303abuser Agreed. Twitter is like a cesspool.

This is actually a great point. Bumbling buffoons with a sunny disposition in the workplace, like Smallman no doubt is. Breezes into a Zoom meeting, stir-frying ideas in his mind-wok, the fact that he’s the only one with any enthusiasm at 8am grabs the CEO’s attention, who then lets him skip breezily off, the ‘ideas man’ has just delivered an extra 200 non-billable hours of work to someone else’s desk. The competent person who actually has to implement it thinks about strangling his already distended neck and leaving his prostrate torso jiggling and popping in a grotesquely comic death dance, but having had a loving upbringing thinks better of it and just tops himself.

I’m praising you for how well this was written. The content is a tad grim, but bravo nonetheless!

Pleased with the upvote for this 2 years later. One of my favourite posts.

A lol for Dave!

Got a big Zoom call at 9am tomorrow as it happens.

Looking to reel in a genuine big fish.

Hold tight for feedback!

Only Dave will fully appreciate this, but I have to say that the aforementioned Ed type is such a thing in the real estate development world. Some worm jumps on a call, wearing a full zip Patagonia vest bearing the company’s logo, and says “duuuuuuh what if you tried x” which causes his boss/our client to say “oh I hadn’t thought of that! Can you model that out?” Unbenounced to us, this dipshit went to some Penn State satellite campus for three years of college, but managed to get his GPA up to a C- in time transfer to Penn State Main Campus!!! by the time he was 5th year senior. Being a Penn State man is coin of the realm in these parts, so that means his Rich Dad Pour Dad ideas go a great way with his toe headed boss who as it happens is also a Penn State man. Thee worst.

I’ve suffered with a bit of anxiety in my past but put it down to drugs I was doing. I stopped smoking weed about 2 years ago and feel much better for it. I still have the occasional setback where I’ll be invited out to a party but sometimes find an excuse not to go.

SM001

Kells77 Good to hear you’re doing well, Kells. 😃 I’ve had a couple of ropey few days during Covid but I was expecting it given the current situation so knew that it would pass. Sometimes you just have to ride it out.
I have a good friend who has similar anxiety issues. Talking is great but being able to talk to someone who knows what you’re going thru is invaluable.

seanc80

Ive no idea what Zac is talking about
