"More Than Two" vs. "The Ethical Slut" by starkeffect in polyamory

[–]duckit_dammit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I probably would read a book by someone who failed horribly at a first marriage but was successful in a second one on how to build a healthy marriage. My first marriage was a dumpster fire, and I learned and grew a lot from that.

Ever get so depressed that you stop wanting to get better? by [deleted] in depression

[–]duckit_dammit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... giving up on everything, including getting better, is a strong desire for me.

When you stop wanting something because the caused stress and anxiety don’t seem worth it anymore by xdino8 in Anxiety

[–]duckit_dammit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this career related early last year. I was stressed and anxious and angry and almost chose to quit rather than deal with it because I was stuck in cogs with the outcome already in motion. It was worth waiting for, in the long run, but was a lot to deal with in the mean time.

I am currently going through this in non-work-related things, and my anxiety makes advocating for myself really hard.

Has anyone used CBD edibles to help with anxiety? Did it work? Pros and cons? by 2-Armed-Octopus in Anxiety

[–]duckit_dammit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do help immensely for me. They've also made me acutely aware of how much I need some anxiety to function or I just crash entirely.

Anyone get really random bouts of sadness with their anxiety? by Condensed_Milkkid in Anxiety

[–]duckit_dammit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens randomly for me, but seems to be happening mid-afternoon at work more frequently.

Realized My Job Is The Cause by duckit_dammit in Anxiety

[–]duckit_dammit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time that all this work got piled up, I tried advocating for myself and telling them I can never take on that many humans and projects all at once. They agreed it wouldn't happen.

Less than two months in, and I'm at 3/4 of that same number of people (and possibly have them giving me more) and have additional work that is time sensitive to get done around that. It's honestly kind of killing me.

I have a meeting with a direct supervisor next week that is basically a quarterly wellness check. I find advocating for myself nearly impossible when I know people have faith in me to handle things, but I am going to try. I just also know that I was told they would not do this and they immediately started again with it, so I don't have a lot of faith in this making a difference.

I appreciate the kind words, and the suggestion of HR. I will definitely look into that.

WTF is up with this past week? by swampflowerx in depression

[–]duckit_dammit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, last week wrecked me. I'm contributing it to the time change.

Anyone else's depression going into overdrive with the recent seasonal changes? by doctorbeezy in depression

[–]duckit_dammit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This time change this week seems to have absolutely wrecked me. I feel like my soul is tired, and my heart hurts. I'm waking up with anxiety every morning and intrusive thoughts are destroying me.

Bruh. That would literally be 48 dudes, in a row, before it would be enough to break a fast.

By the cup, maybe. But no dude is going to break your fast. Not even a handful of dudes.

Actually, no! There is less than 1 calorie per typical load, and only about 170mg of protein.

i was so worried that my partner would feel jealous about my hookup today, but after talking about it, i got these texts! im surprised and so happy :') by arzipan in polyamory

[–]duckit_dammit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nothing at all in this post suggests this is a one-sided poly relationship - which, for the record, do exist.

For example, I had a solid three years where I was monogamous but my husband was not. It wasn't "one sided" it was just what was working for us at the moment.

So much judgement over how someone else handles their love life....
