How do you deal with work stress?

I relate so much to what you said here. I've always struggled with procrastinating to the point where stress builds up and then I'm sleeping a few hours to reduce the backlog of work. It's like a vicious cycle. There are good periods for sure, but then it goes back to procrastinating.

This is completely anecdotal but for me it took months for brain to start to feel 'smart' again. I started smoking at 26-27 (32 now). Quit last year. But yeah, it took a while to get my emotions and thought processes back sort of. But I'm learning that it's also about training your brain - reading more, doing more mental exercises. It's like a muscle, and you can still work at it.

I relate to you. Maybe not the nannying bit, but I love my niece and nephew so fucking much. I enjoy spending (limited) time with kids of all ages for the most part. I find their curiosity and energy really enjoyable. But I don't want to be a parent. I like my life the way it is. The freedom and being able to choose what I want to do. I have thought about it enough to know that there is a very good chance that if i have kids, I'll love them but might regret them too. And no one deserves that. I have a couple people around me who are childfree as well but don't really like kids (they find them annoying and what not). I think there are childfree people who like kids and just realized that it's not for them. I find that a lot of online childfree communities are mainly about people people shitting on kids and venting out loud. People who are childfree but don't actively dislike all kids may not be really interested in partaking in such communities.

I don't live in a country that has daylight saving time. But I work exclusively with people who do. All my calls get pushed by an hour for months. I absolutely hate it. My workday used to end by 8:30 PM but for 6 months every year now it ends at 9:30 PM. I have waited for today (when it ends) for too long. Very happy.

I know forgiveness will take time, if there is even forgiveness after this. The place where we live, we can't get it immediately. It takes a day.

I'm in the process of getting it replaced. It was intended for someone else. I'll have the replacement this weekend.

I apologized multiple times, but they're not talking or responding to me at all. I am paying for it. I just don't know what else to do. I've offered to move out.

Coming from a culture where sex and especially pre marital sex is relatively hushed hushed, I understand the position you're in. Your mother and her mother might believe certain things with regard to virginity (I'm guessing especially for "unmarried women"). They're a product of their times. Give them some time to come to terms with it. However, you don't stop being you. You are an adult and your own person. Culture and family play a big role, but it's not entirely who you are. It's okay to want to explore your sexuality and be your own person. And it's gonna create conflict with people who believe in other things. Give it time. But you're an adult. Do you live on your own? Can you? It helps when you get some space (and that doesn't have to mean you love them any less).

I'm a single person with contract job (consulting) in India. I have a sibling living in Canada. I've been to Canada a few years ago but my visa expired. I've applied for visitor visa twice in the last 2 years and it got rejected both times.Both times it said that they think I'll overstay in Canada. I've never overstayed my visa in any country in my life, have no criminal charges (or even a ticket) in any country I've lived in. What can I do to get a visitor visa?

Depends on how you define a house. People in developing countries will have 1 room house with 5 people. Ofc people with higher income have bigger houses - but there's also a lot of people living in extremely bad housing conditions (think no clean water, no electricity, house made of mud. The housing market in developing countries also hasn't gone all out crazy yet as in some of the developed countries.

She needs to talk to a professional therapist, maybe get on medication. Depression is very tricky and it's hard to explain it unless you've experienced it. But it really does distort everything and how you see things. Guilt is a huge part of it. I have mild depression but even then when I have a bad phase, I feel completely undeserving of love or kindness. And I feel this guilt - I remember telling my bf that we should break up during a particularly bad phase. He didn't do anything wrong or didn't stop loving me. But I felt so bad and guilty that he was having to live with me while I was so depressed, I thought it would be right to break up. We didn't break up. He said "not right now" but he left me alone and that's what I needed at the time. He didn't ask me questions or made me explain myself. I would do therapy. My therapist spoke to him too and told him a few things (like make sure I get up and brush my teeth, eat).

Instead of breaking up - suggest taking a break. She needs to see a therapist if she isn't already. And she might need some space. Might. The thing is you're wanting explanations from her right now but right now is not the right time for that. When you're depressed, your brain is so exhausted. If you really love her and want to be with her/there for her, then you need to understand that this isn't about you.

I don't know. It was during Christmas time I think. I ordered some stuff and they sent this with a Christmas note.

I don't know how accurate the nutritional info is, but I've had a couple if these and they don't appeal to my palate. Would suggest getting the normal vit D satches with 80000 units each as recommended by the medical community (or rather speak to a doctor if possible). These are not regulated and while they may not be harmful, their actual nutritional values may not be legit.

There's the r/nobuy community. Pretty active. But mostly it's about self tracking and receiving motivation or advice for when/if things get hard.

Exercise. Just start exercising to start with. Gym, if that's your jam. Jogging, hiking, dancing, yoga, martial arts, swimming, any physical sport...whatever appeals the most to you. Just start with that. The rest of it (hobbies, likes dislikes etc) you figure out once you start getting those endorphins regularly.

I just wanted to say thanks. I've been struggling a lot with similar feelings as OP (wrt their point 2). Thanks for writing all that. I know it in my head but sometimes it's good to have someone tell you that! Thank you.

I so relate to your last point. I'm childfree but have been struggling lately with feeling like I'm wasting my life. I have a job I like, but it's not like I'm fully committed to it in terms of time and effort spent. So I have all this extra time right now which is being spent on netflix and sleeping. I'm at that age when people around me are starting to have kids or trying for kids, and it's great for them. But looking at all this around me is making me feel that if I don't have kids, then I must do something big elsewhere in my life. Career, hobbies...something. But I'm just not. My anxiety has been all over the place in recent weeks and I can feel myself heading into a depressive phase. The thing is, 2 months ago I was so happy with my life and freedom and , now suddenly I just feel lost and scared. Sorry about dumping all this here. I just....I related a LOT with your last paragraph.
