  • Hey OP, I saw in a comment that you’ve tried medications and nothing has helped. I was in the same boat and struggled for a long time. It took switching doctors, but I found one that did genetic testing for me and was able to find a medication that worked really well. Later, I suffered through some severe trauma and it really knocked me back down again. I spoke to my doctor about it and we determined that TMS treatment was a good option for me, and I’m happy to report that it worked really really well and I’m doing a lot better.

    There are options out there like these, but I think they are little known, and it took many years before any doctors offered them. I know it is so hard to do so, but I think it’s important to be able to speak up and say “hey doc, I’ve tried different meds for years and nothing helps, what other things can we do?”






  • If you feel like it is too easy and you’re worried that you’re not doing enough or if you want to do more, I would recommend communicating with your manager. One, to make sure you’re meeting expectations, and two, to see if there’s a possibility of doing more/taking on more responsibilities (if you want to, if not, disregard). For the former, this ensures that you’re not missing something that they expected you to be doing, so that you’re not surprised by how they feel about your work later. For the latter, doing more may feel more personally fulfilling, and additionally, taking on more responsibilities could mean a promotion or a bump in pay.

    If I’ve learned anything during my jobs, it’s to overcommunicate with my manager to make sure that we’re on the same page with how we’re both feeling.
