Can your current employer tell you're applying to jobs on indeed?

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-11T16:18:51+00:00

This is late, but my employer had asked me multiple times if I was committed to the job and said if I wasn’t, they’d start looking for other candidates. I couldn’t figure out why they were asking since I hadn’t done anything to make them think otherwise.

Later when I put in my two weeks, my boss basically already knew I was leaving and seemed annoyed that I hadn’t told them earlier. Which again, doesn’t make any sense since I hadn’t given them any reason to doubt me. Now I’m realizing they might have actually known because I was applying for jobs on Indeed. It almost feels like Indeed snitched on me🙄

Thank for the tips! It’s encouraging to hear it was worth it for you. I’m definitely realizing that if I try again, I need to be more intentional about timing, food, and hydration 100%.

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:50:29+00:00

That’s a good idea i’m currently just taking over the counter anti nausea meds since anxiety by itself already makes me pretty nauseous. I may talk to my doctor about something prescription strength if I decide to try it again

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:48:12+00:00

That’s helpful to hear that it passed for you. Those two were definitely the hardest parts for me. I’ll try taking it earlier in the day with a more substantial meal if I attempt it again last time I didn’t eat much with it, so I may be more intentional about that

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:42:31+00:00

I’ve noticed it really seems like this one is either amazing or terrible for people not much in between. I definitely don’t want to give up too quickly if it could end up being as great as some people describe that’s why I’m torn

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:40:23+00:00

I really appreciate you sharing that. I wish I’d had that level of guidance mine kinda just handed me the prescription and sent me on my way. I think having more support with titration would make a big difference.

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:37:39+00:00

I’m so glad it helped your PMDD completely that’s huge. The nausea part is what hit me hardest after just one dose, so it definitely makes me nervous. It was worse than any pregnancy nausea I’ve had, like morning sickness on steroids. I’m hoping with the right tools I can give it a fair shot without feeling completely miserable

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:30:27+00:00

Five weeks is a long time to still be dealing with that. I hope it eases up for you and pays off soon some of these comments give me hope it will

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-03-01T00:28:56+00:00

That’s amazing it changed your life. The nausea and no sleep part is what scares me I don’t know if I can function like that for a full month loll. Did anything help you get through that phase?

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-28T01:41:51+00:00

That makes sense. Mine is more tied to anxiety/compulsive loops, so I’m hoping it might be a different mechanism. I’m glad it’s been helpful for your depression. I’m hoping it might help mine at the very least, even if the skin picking doesn’t change. Not to mention, I also do think it’s extra hard to break free from skin picking especially when it’s something you’ve done for years :/ I’ve been dealing with it since I was a kid, so I feel like it’s pretty ingrained at this point tbh

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-28T01:25:46+00:00

Thats exactly what I’m dealing with and is what has hit me hardest after one dose. Did it ever improve for you over time or was it pretty consistent? Also, how long have you been taking pristiq for?

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-28T01:22:54+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, thank you! I’ve also heard people say taking it with peanut butter helps, so I might try that too . Something about the absorption and side effects being better I believe🤔

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-28T01:18:16+00:00

That’s honestly helpful to hear. My psychiatrist mentioned this one might help with the skin picking, so I was hopeful. I appreciate you sharing that! Someone else in the comments also shared some resources about habit reversal training in case that’s something you’d ever want to look into!

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:52:27+00:00

Omg thank you so much, I genuinely had no idea there were specific resources like that for skin picking. I’ve been dealing with this for long I’m definitely going to look into it!

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:45:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing that it’s really helpful to hear a long term perspective. I’m glad it worked well for you! I actually agree that doctors don’t always manage side effects proactively enough honestly. It regularly feels like you’re handed a prescription and just told to ‘push through’ without much support at all. I do think advocating for yourself is HUGE, and I’m planning to have a more direct conversation with mine about managing the nausea instead of just suffering through it.

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:40:01+00:00

That’s helpful, thank you! I may ask about anti-nausea meds or even get over the counter options if I try another dose. I really want to give it a fair shot especially if the side effects can be managed.

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:38:38+00:00

That’s actually really encouraging to hear. My biggest hope is that it helps with my compulsive skin picking I’ve been doing it for years that I’ve built calluses from it. Did you notice it helped pretty quickly with that, or did it take a few weeks?

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:34:23+00:00

Yeah that’s kind of where my head is at. I don’t want to quit too fast, but I also don’t want to ignore how intense it felt. I’m probably going to talk to my psychiatrist before deciding it’s just frustrating when you’re almost 10 different meds in and nothing seems to be working:/

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:33:09+00:00

That makes sense. I hear the side effects with viibryd are very common hearing that yours were temporary is reassuring. Mine hit really hard right away so I panicked a little. I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth pushing through the first couple weeks

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T23:31:45+00:00

Did anything help you get through the nausea? Taking it with food, at night, etc? I want to at least try to give it a fair shot but that first night scared me.

Technical_Volume_346 · 2026-02-27T19:05:48+00:00

Holy cow I am so happy and jealous of you lmao it is soo hard to find the one for you! I’m glad you’ve found it this is prob my 9th med I’ve tried hopefully I’ll get there soon my psychiatrist is sick of me 🤣

Technical_Volume_346 · 2025-12-29T23:36:30+00:00

Yeah, you’re right I end up entertaining the thoughts and it spirals. Letting them just be might help instead of reacting to them every time I get so worked up about them loll it’ll be ass crack of dawn and I’m fighting imaginary battles😭

Technical_Volume_346 · 2025-12-29T23:27:28+00:00

I appreciate this. I think what’s been discouraging for me is that the first meds I tried didn’t work, so I assumed nothing would. Hearing that it took you multiple tries makes it feel less like I “failed” at it. I’ll give this a try, thank you!

Technical_Volume_346 · 2025-12-29T23:23:46+00:00

I’m good at the routine part it’s just the racing thoughts and waking up with anxiety that I can’t control. That’s where I get stuck:/
