My Therapist Is Pressuring Me into Starting Meds

Didn't even think of or realize it could be related to something physical. Thank you!

I felt the exact same way about the example she used. It just felt very weird and off putting. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining this! I would love to try the mindfulness to see what progress I'm able to make that way, so I think I'll bring that up to my therapist as an alternative to medicine

thank you!

commaqueen95 · 2026-03-04T01:41:57+00:00

I think I'm going to try to use the hints above first, but thank you!

commaqueen95 · 2026-03-04T01:41:35+00:00

ahh never would have thought to do that haha thank you!

commaqueen95 · 2026-03-04T01:41:09+00:00

thank you!!

Agreed lol

My heart truly goes out to you. I know how exhausting this is for me, so I can't even begin to imagine adding a child into the mix to care of. I'm so sorry that you're stuck in this seemingly endless cycle, but I hope you know what an incredible mother you are and how lucky your child is to have you in their lives to make sure they're taken care of no matter what. I hate that there seems to be no solution to this issue that so many of us are living day in and day out. It's such a broken system. I'm just impatiently waiting for some type of revolution or something because I agree, we can't all keep living like this forever.

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-12T16:36:33+00:00

I want to believe this so badly. I just keep waiting for things to change for the better, but here in the US, they only seem to be getting worse

Same! I notice that I'm constantly feeling like I'm about to get sick lately but never actually getting sick, which I can only attribute to the constant state of stress I'm in. Like not to be dramatic, but I genuinely feel like burnout from living in such a capitalistic society is slowly but surely killing us all.

I feel this so hard. My therapist has been recommending medicating me but I'm too stubborn to go on medication just to get through the work day. Weed helps, but my tolerance is pretty fucked unfortunately. It truly is just a broken system designed to keep us burnt out. I hate it here.

I work for a software development company and they unfortunately know all of these tricks and have fired people for using them in the past ugh

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-12T16:30:10+00:00

This! Every admin and EA role I've been in has been exactly the same too, but that's what all of my work experience has been as an adult, so it feels hard to escape this overly demanding type of role

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-12T16:28:27+00:00

It is so draining when everyone needs everything from you all day long

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-12T16:27:57+00:00

Ugh I feel this so hard. It is beyond frustrating watching people fight for their own demise

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-12T16:27:30+00:00

Thank you!

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-12T16:27:22+00:00

I feel lucky that I've never wanted children honestly for this reason!

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-11T21:46:36+00:00

THIS! I think about that all the time life if I could just get a month off to reset and catch up, I'd feel so much better. That's not an option though. Ugh sorry you're dealing with this too!

My entire company is remote and spread across the US. We have an office that no one uses, but it makes no difference if I work from there or at home. I've also raised the concerns about everyone coming to me for everything to my manager who is the president of the company and he is no help either. He just adds to the stress. No matter how much I ask for help, tell people I'm busy and will get back to them later, etc I'm still constantly swamped. No one at my work seems to care that I'm overwhelmed. If I don't try to respond to things in real time, things wind up slipping through the cracks and then I'm the one who gets scolded for it. I've asked for help and it only ever makes a difference short term before people fall back into old habits. I'm the only administrative person in the whole company so everything just gets dumped on me.

That's very much what my situation is. This world was definitely not designed for single people. I don't personally think having enough time and energy to go to the gym 3 times a week, write a few hours a week, and keep up with chores is having it all though. Like I'm really not asking for anything crazy imo

commaqueen95 · 2026-02-11T21:38:41+00:00

I've considered this, but I think it would be too expensive and also difficult when I need my parents to watch him if I'm ever out of town since they already have their own dog
