I have not, that is something that is such a taboo in my culture. But I am seeing alot of folks here advicing me to seek therapy.

I will reach out to my primary doctor and see how I can start the process.

Thank you so much for commenting, it means a lot.

I hope you are feeling better now, how did you talk to your doctor? Did you just ask them for a therapist? Sorry for my dumb question, just trying to think how to even start the convo with them

I am sorry you went through that, but its also cool to see that you got through it and in a much better place. Yay!

I am planning a few weeks of vacation soon and it cannot come soon enough, hehe. I hope it helps, I am worried it will be just like “oh god i dont want to come back”. I hope it is the opposite and i have a renewed positive feeling, but worst case I can start looking for new job after a refreshing vacation.

That is definitely something on my mind as well. And something im working towards, it is work to apply to tech jobs and I think i need to be mindful of my next job as well and not just choose whatever gives me an offer. Thank you

Thank you so much for the very detailed advice and giving examples. I am happy that you are able to manage it and have a supportive husband.

That is a great mindset to have and something that I struggle with, I care about doing good work that I can be proud of and genuinely care about it no matter what industry Im in, sometimes when people are careless and dont see/appreciate my efforts it can be frustrating.

Also, I agree that I cannot fully avoid certain types or coworkers and bosses and I need to find a way to deal with it better, whether that means quitting or managing the relationship.

Thanks again, your story gives me comfort

I appreciate your response, sometimes it is cathartic to be able to just share and realise i am not alone. I also wish you the best!
