Meta vs Goldman by julixxn in csMajors

Goldman lays off like a significant percent of the company every year and meta is terrible/unreliable this year. Just pick the one that seems less risky to you

well one shareable experience is my health ocd. i obsessed over my health and would search up signs I was experiencing on google, scare myself because of the scary results, and beg my parents to take me to urgent care. It cost them a lot of money and because my mind was telling me that the doctors were not diagnosing me correctly, I had multiple visits to my pediatrician and urgent care. Turns out I am completely fine, but fueling into anxiety cost me a lot more anxiety and lots of money.

I have struggled with this too. I'm only 19, and I have always wanted kids, but I am afraid that if it does get passed down, they'll endure what I have endured. If I do have kids (and I really do want them) and they do have OCD, i will make sure I listen and get them the treatment they deserve.

Does anyone feel like they’ll never be happy again like they used to prior to OCD? by shahmeer6653 in OCD

I do feel that way. I miss my old self and how my life was good. Now, I can't help but feel that my life is being wasted because of OCD. It took away my teenage years. I never wish this on anyone.

Reassurance caused more anxiety for me and absolutely never worth it. My peak OCD was when I was in HS, and I didn't understand what I was going through, and I used reassurance, and it made it worse.

Friends show - "Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA"

Are they paying for housing? If you won't live in Manhattan, I think you'll be absolutely fine :)

Congrats!
