One thing that helps is doing daily affirmations. Go look in a mirror and tell yourself 3 or 5 compliments. It sounds ridiculous but it's hard for people to compliment and be kind to themselves. Once you get in the habit of recognizing the good in yourself you start having some of the tools to better fight your depression and anxiety.

Mert, have you ever considered throwing a water bottle at your depression?

I love isolation and I don't want it to end.

This is some low tier shit from me, but anyway.

Been fed up with this place already after a year. Saw the same patterns here as last job. Was asked to work out of a field trailer in Canarsie, Brooklyn rather than my office in Westchester. Handed a windows surface and told get at er. I live 42 miles from my current office. Going to Brooklyn is an easy 70.

Not what I signed up for. In fact, it's the opposite of what I signed up for when I was hired. I didn't want to commute into the city every day, otherwise I woulda taken the job offering 20% more and better benefits to go to Astoria.

Anyway, texted one dude that I worked with last year on the consulting side rather than contractor side. Texted me back to call him. Basically made me an offer right away for 10% more than I make now. It'd be a field position, but in Westchester rather than NYC. Has more growth potential as well.

I was just putting feelers out originally, but I may end up just making the switch. Less stress, possibly more hours, but I'll make overtime and can easily get a few certifications and end up in a similar position to the guy hiring me within a year or two. That would entail not having to be in the field all the time.

Would be a larger corporation, but a smaller subset of it. Next two jobs this guy has lined up are a little closer to me in Westchester still so there is some sense of job security.

Feel bad about it, and haven't pulled the trigger, because both me and another guy came over from another company to help run these contracts from a City agency that's new to them, but he left after like 6 months and now I'm looking at leaving after a year.

Just the fact that I could make the switch tomorrow has made me feel so much better and less anxious.

When all the COVID-19 shit went down it was nice not getting laid off, but they expect everything to be normal again. I worked entirely remotely for almost two months, now they're upset I want to work from home two days a week while we try to get someone to watch our daughter because our daycare is closed, the others aren't taking people, and our sutter's are not looking to come to our house. What difference is there in me working remotely in fucking ass end Brooklyn versus home?

I know the new job wouldn't have that option, but higher compensation, less stress, and a stable work day sounds much better right now.

And while typing this second message up, I got a call from a company trying to collect an over 60 invoice, but I have no power to release money to them. Got a letter this morning someone else was putting a lien on a bond because they didn't want to pay the full invoice on that one

I feel like I'm in a position where I'm just set up for failure.

I haven’t shaved at all since quarantine and work from home began in the middle of March. Most of my co-workers have returned to the office this week and all of them have told me how much they think a beard looks good on me. Now y’all, I will admit my facial hair takes a while to grow. What I grew in 2 1/2 months, most of you could probably grow in two weeks. So it’s always been a long, ugly process. I didn’t know if they were being nice or they genuinely liked it so I did a selfie on my bookface saying I was considering keeping my quarantine beard and I have gotten overwhelmingly positive response, even had one chick that I have not spoken to since high school hit me up on messenger to tell me how good it was. I am not used to getting compliments on my physical appearance and god damn is it a nice feeling. Anyways give people compliments more often, especially the uggos and fatties, we need it.
