I’ve been embarrassed to be honest and also, I suppose, being dishonest with myself and coping with the stress in extremely stupid ways, just being with friends all the time because I really don’t like being alone and having to process everything.
My plan is to go to my psychiatrist tomorrow morning, I spent today with my bestie to firstly relax and sort my thoughts out, and told her about some of what’s been going on, but, ultimately, I thought a post to a tech community I respect was a good idea. It’s probably the clearest-headed move I’ve done in a bit.
I’m also going through some significant dental pain after a surgery atm as well, so, to be honest, life’s been easier. >.<
- Ididntdothis 7y agoYes talk to your psychiatrist and your bestie. Often just saying things aloud helps. Definitely don’t worry too much about work. Jobs come and go but your mental health stays with you.
- kenshi 7y agoYou are dealing with a lot, in a compressed period of time. Try to remember that your first priority and responsibility is looking after your own mental, physical and spiritual (I don't mean this in a religious sense) well being. In your situation, work really should be the lowest priority that you can afford to make it. If you can afford to take extended time off to deal with everything you need to, I would highly recommend that you give it serious consideration.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI wouldn’t just take time off without a plan for doing something. It’s really easy to spend months or years at home without improvements. Go to a psychologist or something. I once spent a month at a yoga ashram which was a turnaround for me.
