Hello, I'm laid off and I can't afford therapy. If it's okay I'd like to vent.
  • Surah? What is the quote from? I also never said I didn't believe there was a god/gods. I'm an analyst. I look at information all day and determine that I am very finite and lack a purpose. And that stings.

  • Yeah, I need to make that a priority. Honestly I kept forgetting to take them until tonight. So this is partly my fault. The meds tend to make me really tired. I should probably explore different options for medicine. I'm on medication 7 or so of 8.

  • Hello, I'm laid off and I can't afford therapy. If it's okay I'd like to vent.

    Hi. I'm new here. I am a workaholic. When I started to notice my mental decline I was working in very important role at one of the largest companies in the world. All I could see was the end prize, financial freedom. A few years in I knew I was going through health issues because sleeping was rough, I always felt on edge. All I wanted to do was make sure my wife would be set up if I died.

    One day I could not take it anymore. I went to a different company. Took less than a week and I had the big one. A complete breakdown. I didn't know what it was until a friend told me it may be panic attacks.

    I got let go in about a year. I've been bouncing around jobs since. I get back up, I apply myself, I'm determined; or more like super productive due to stress.

    Then I heard about a friend's spouse who died of cancer. They were younger than myself. It just breaks me with a lot of what-if questions. If this happened to me, I didn't enjoy life. I just worked. I got little progress to show for it except money in what feels like a doomed economy. I worked to make sure my wife can live an enjoyable life when I am gone. I don't have a clue how to have fun.

    I am now stuck with a lot of what-if questions that don't have answers. I start my new job in about a week. It's a good company, pays well, allegedly they care a lot about their employees. I just wish life would slow down enough to process things; deal with the anxiety issues. Now that I can breathe a bit again and about to regain my footing I feel more stressed.

    Tl;dr I don't know how not to have my life revolve around work.

    Edit: feel free to offer advice. I'm kind of just in my own anxiety right now.

    non vegan pizza time
  • Former vegan, long term vegetarian; I don't even like telling people I am a vegetarian because of the agresive ones.

    If you want a meat alternative try black bean burgers or falafel. Both are solid options.

  • A Society That Lost Focus
  • I worked in horticulture for years. Floral design, green house stuff like that. I spent my pay on computer stuff because I enjoyed it.

    As an adult,.I do the opposite. I work on computers then I spend my time hiking, foraging, gardening. I'm so fed up with the constant need snd expectations that the you are glued to a cell phone. I hate that hustle. I want to take life at my own paste.

  • HEY SNOWFLAKES I'M LOOKING FOR A PACK MEME BUT I CAN'T FIND IT

    THE MEME IS SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF I LIKE GUNS, MEN, AND MY DODGE RAM PICK UP TRUCK. AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT YOU CAN MEET ME IN THE BACK OF MY DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCK.

    CAN'T FIND THIS MFR ANYWHERE.

    LF Durable Metal Pen, steel construction

    Howdy, I have a Zebra F701, and I love it. But there are plastic internals. I love the affordability, scratch resistance, and durability of steel for pens. I've used pens as door stops in an emergency before. I'd like a full steel pen.

    What are some all steel pens to look out for?

    Oy, what are you looking forward to foraging?

    Pretty psyched for garlic mustard and dandelion season here soon.

    Paw-paw season is my favorite though because you need to plan around climbing trees and jumping around in rivers.

    Got any great experiences you want to share?

    what are some silly things that you can put on a resume than most people don't realize?

    Examples:

    I help train fortune 500 tech companies' AI algorithms.

    I am Time Magazine's Person of the year 2006.

    (Request) Looking for a CCW backpack without a lot of Velcro

    1. Has ro be a backpack, no sling bags.

    2. I hate Velcro. Picks up hair, wears out. I want to buy this for life.

    3. No leather. Same as Velcro this bag will likely be abused and get wet a lot.

    I could use some feedback on anxiety issues.

    2 years ago I had had a break down. I started having panic attacks and I would grind my teeth a bit. Eventually I shattered a tooth. Two years later and a root canal that tooth is causing issues due to an infection. I have a check up on it in a month. It's not really painful, but it's a grim reminder of all the issues I had.

    I am a significant amount better than before. Meds and therapy helped a lot. But this tooth reminds me of a time where I was a wreck. It's not a fun feeling. And I don't know what happens next. I never got a tooth pulled for example, I don't know what to expect.

    Has anyone beaten anxiety issues? Will I be like this forever?

    Edit: Went to my dentist, they looked at it, they are sending me to a specialist tomorrow. Wish me luck.

    Edit 2: got scheduled for surgery today, they think they can save the tooth.

    Edit 3: Surgery was not that bad.
