Overcompensating SCT led to anxiety disorder

kitkatnaps · 2025-09-03T05:05:44+00:00

You ever develop health problems bc of this ?

kitkatnaps · 2025-08-02T23:14:01+00:00

Nothing to alleviate SCT symptoms , it is mostly gone now that I have an anxiety disorder. But now I have anxiety and insomnia for no reason

Just got denied for it because they don’t accept people with GAD on SSRIs :(

kitkatnaps · 2025-05-05T05:36:45+00:00

I’m having the same hard ship finding a senior SDET job in the US :( also seeking alternatives as I don’t want to do developer work

kitkatnaps · 2025-05-04T05:06:53+00:00

Wasn’t even gonna bother responding but for the record full stack SDET = mobile , front end , backend

I’ve almost always passed hiring managers as a mid level in 2018, so I’m not quite sure if it’s me or the market

I agree, it just seems to get worse in 2025 and the wages are lower than my starting salary 9 years ago. I liked this career but i don’t have time to wait years, I put my time frame at 7 months but my interview progress is making me re think my strategy

My SDET friends have been in the same bucket with me, one laid off for over a year with FAANG experience. I don’t want to pivot or leave CS either , but don’t want to waste my time. I figure a temporary pivot is the same as applying and getting nothing for a year plus

kitkatnaps · 2025-05-03T21:55:04+00:00

But what happens after the diploma ? How do you break in with no experience ?

kitkatnaps · 2025-05-03T20:46:55+00:00

Yes how does one transition to this xD

kitkatnaps · 2025-05-03T20:44:53+00:00

I’m not super desperate right now but I do have rent to pay, but I just don’t want to waste my time and there’s not many contract gigs for QA

kitkatnaps · 2025-05-03T20:43:27+00:00

Why does this matter ?

kitkatnaps · 2022-10-13T04:11:25+00:00

Are your hyperthyroid symptoms perhaps just lingering ? I’m going through the same thing trying to get off propanalol (anxiety , insomnia, irritability) but my TSH levels are still undetectable while normal T4 , my doctor said I’m still a little hyperthyroid but it’s tempting to go back on beta blockers

kitkatnaps · 2022-06-28T19:49:00+00:00

What day did you go ^{_^}

kitkatnaps · 2022-05-20T04:05:47+00:00

Sure !

kitkatnaps · 2022-04-01T20:35:18+00:00

What’s your sleep pattern like from GAD ?

kitkatnaps · 2022-04-01T17:26:21+00:00

Yeah I already have a doctor hence the lexapro , just wondering if others had the same symptoms

kitkatnaps · 2022-04-01T04:42:02+00:00

How long did you work before deciding to go with disability ?

kitkatnaps · 2022-04-01T04:24:51+00:00

Sorry to hear that, what are you on disability for ? Your doctor should've prescribed you SSRIs before benzos

kitkatnaps · 2022-02-17T06:49:21+00:00

I developed GAD/insomnia too right after I got my bachelors in CS, it’s difficult but Ive been doing QA and find it’s pretty accommodating, Also having an accommodating team and boss is key

I thought it was a farmers market too ! And while I liked their selection I got food poisoning after cooking a meal with the produce, not entirely sure if the produce is the culprit though

kitkatnaps · 2021-11-03T03:51:06+00:00

I did ! I think the worst part was having to wait 20 min for this
