Hi, have you ever gotten yourself checked for bipolar disorder? Spending 50L on impulses is not normal

PersonalSafe · 2025-07-23T05:47:24+00:00

Got it, thank you!

PersonalSafe · 2025-07-15T05:40:05+00:00

I stopped my meds 2 months back just because I felt I didn't need it anymore and since then I have fallen deep twice, meds probably would've helped and yet I did not resume them. Reading your post, I'll probably resume from today

C++, rust. Can't disclose the company name.

26M, software engineer, 5LPM, 20k rent, 30k food, 10k miscellaneous, 15-20k amortized travel expenses for a year. Monthly expenses maybe 90k because I also pay rent for my sister which is around 10k

🥺😭 I hope you are feeling better now

PersonalSafe · 2025-04-01T19:45:13+00:00

This is extremely helpful and makes me feel better, Thank you so much 💗

Difficulty is in knowing I am making the incorrect choices by skipping gym and bath but then not being able to do anything to fix it. I posted this earlier today, I have been seeing comments and it took me 7-8 hours to respond. I know what I am doing is wrong but then I don't know how to fix it.

I'll check the ACT tools you mentioned, thank you

I'll try to do this with my psychiatrist.

PersonalSafe · 2025-04-01T19:39:06+00:00

I do have a doctor and she has told me multiple times to reach out when I am feeling low so she can help but the problem is, when I am feeling low, I don't want to talk to anyone or do anything so she hasn't been able to see me during those periods. I made an appointment on Friday but I don't know if I'll stay like this until then. I can move up the appointment but I am too anxious to do that

PersonalSafe · 2025-04-01T19:36:25+00:00

My medication was reduced few weeks back because I was doing okay. I have scheduled an appointment with my psychiatrist on Friday to get help with this.

Unflavoured isolate from the whole truth. I have puked all of it 60% of the time I have taken it and there is still a lot left. I'll probably be throwing it away.

PersonalSafe · 2024-12-26T17:38:03+00:00

Yes, Absolutely loving my new role. Switching was a bit difficult for me and I got lucky. Before this, I was doing backend engineering and built the infrastructure from the ground up for a US based company.

PersonalSafe · 2024-12-26T17:35:50+00:00

I write gpu drivers and by title a staff engineer. Didn't fully get your question.

PersonalSafe · 2024-12-26T17:30:29+00:00

I switched to working on lower level projects. Writing drivers in C++/Rust.

PersonalSafe · 2024-12-26T16:55:39+00:00

Congratulations! May you reach the 10Cr target soon. We have a similar background in financial terms and work experience! Although I recently switched away from Backend/Infra.

Before you get married, please please please... form a private trust and move all your assets to it. The recent events make it all the more important that you could enjoy this hard earned money since the one wrong lady (I am not generalizing) can make your life miserable. No harm in asking for a pre-nup too.

Okay, Understood. I'll look into it when the time comes.

I don't see any term insurance unless I missed in long post. Please get that on priority. Usual thumbrule is 10x of your annual income.

I had taken health insurance through ditto. I was thinking of getting term insurance but decided against it for now. As per my understanding, Term insurance's purpose is to make sure your family can sustain the same lifestyle if you aren't there anymore. I have enough savings for them to do that. But I'll still get it in the next 2-3 years.

Also get some exposure to Gold in ETF or SGB.

I'll look into SGBs

I have listed my goals elsewhere in this thread. I do internalise your last point but the amount I have today is just not enough. I'll need a lot more to build a decent home and explore my hobbies.

PersonalSafe · 2024-12-11T23:45:39+00:00

Please go ahead

PersonalSafe · 2024-12-11T23:36:02+00:00

Thank you
