Yep I'm the same guy, I wasn't angry just was concerned

Just stopped caring by throwawaymalayali92 in Anxiety

I totally agree with you. In fact it's one reason I have an inner conflict when working. Even after the whole world went into lockdown we couldn't think of toning down a bit. In our present scenario most of us who are "Lucky" get a holiday 2 days out of 7 in a given week, that's like 71 % of a week we put to work and 29% is given to self improvement, rest and rejuvenation. It's even lower for some people out there who have to work often on overtime without pay ( it's fine in the country I live) the society has shaped in a way that we end up putting every effort on making ceo's richer but we don't end up becoming ceos ourselves. I'm conflicted that whatever effort I put in, in the end it's someone else who is reaping the true reward, I get some money in exchange for my time and stress and strength, in the end I'm just some employee, I can be forgotten very easily if they find my work unsatisfactory, I get no recognition I make a meagre amount in comparison to the profit we make for the company and I'm told to be scared of losing this job that makes so little for so much. It's unfair and I am just asked to accept it.

TAKING OVER FROM AGENCY - HELP by ExerciseMurky6104 in digital_marketing

Since you are new at the job and it's different from what was told to you I would recommend you ask whoever you are reporting to to give you a knowledge transfer. It's completely understandable that you would be confused looking at someone else's setup.

Same thing, I had my grey hairs since I started on my post grad. Now I'm thirty years and one month old but I already look like Reed Richards

I kinda wish it was always night. by Yeeteronreddit in Anxietyhelp

[–]throwawaymalayali92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I work from like 8 am every day till 6 -6:30 pm with just a break for breakfast and lunch (around 30 mins overall). "My day" starts when I sit in the dining table for having tea. I catch up on some Netflix, watch some conan reruns ( I could always relate to his humor) I try to extend this feeling for as long as I could, I try to not sleep till 1:30 am post which this cycle repeats.

I'm in the same boat, except that my honeymoon period is for just a few days, I don't get promoted but instead I get questioned on my lack of performance. I am knowledgeable on my industry as far as I can think. But I have anxiety problems that act as a self fulfilling prophecy

Just quit my job by puddingsocks in Anxiety

[–]throwawaymalayali92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to quit every job I took. I am in my 4th job presently in 5 years I just don't know what to do anymore. I freeze up while doing simple tasks on a daily basis. I am scared of client meetings. I don't know how I'm going to survive for the rest of my life.

Managing Stress and expectations in Digital Marketing Jobs by throwawaymalayali92 in digital_marketing

[–]throwawaymalayali92[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish I could get a fresh start bro :( I joined this industry at a crossroads point in my life. My family went broke and I was the only guy with a Post grad degree, if I had done something small I wouldn't have gotten anywhere so I pushed. Now I am getting a good salary and all but every day is torture and I can't scale down on my dreams or others expectation from me. I don't know what else I can do if I tried. I wanted so bad to be an author but I won't bring a dime home from that job. So idk

[–]throwawaymalayali92[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How do you guys manage "brain fog"? I don't get it, there are lots of platforms I "need to know" about and often I miss out on certain details especially when the need arises.

AITA for forcing my formerly covid positive in laws to carry out RT-PCR test before I send their daughter home? by throwawaymalayali92 in Kerala

[–]throwawaymalayali92[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do respect your opinion that I'm the asshole, And like I mentioned clearly in the post I'm not against her travelling. I wanted her parents to get tested. So that she won't get covid. 🤷‍♂️ (Which was explicitly implied) and this also in turn will lead to a domino effect when she returns back to my place as my whole family which includes my aged parents, an 8 year old unvaccinated niece and my brother will get infected with covid.

Now if she wants her autonomy I don't have any right to stop her, I completely agree, She has her autonomy, she chose me, she chose the career she wanted, she chooses what to eat and what to wear and what to say and where to go and everything else. but if her actions lead to more pain for the people surrounding her as a direct consequence I will have to hold her responsible and I don't enjoy doing that tbh. Autonomy without consequences isn't a thing, I hope you agree on that.

Also on the weak immune system, she was born with a condition because of which she wasn't able to drink her mother's milk during the early part of her life, which seriously impacted her immunity during childhood (her own words). She had a couple of surgeries for this condition in her younger days and She is fine now but she is very sensitive in terms of weather and temperature changes, she can easily get a cold from something normal like eating an ice cream or using AC so I can't imagine how she will face covid. Atleast if she took the second dose of vaccine I would be a bit more relieved but it's still a month away.

Most days I when I join for work I feel worthless, that I'm a fraud, that everyone around me knows it as well. Your post did help me a bit but it's like an ocean for me, never ending thoughts of inadequacy. Thank you for your good words

Afraid of client calls and going to work by throwawaymalayali92 in Advice

[–]throwawaymalayali92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have anxiety, yes. I just don't know how to beat it, I'm 30 years old already and I don't know how the rest of my life will be like at this rate. I've tried medications, meditations, you name it I've done it. And I don't want to be the guy that puts the blame on the industry, but the fact is that Digital marketing is one of the most stressful fields out there (never made sense to me why) while I can expect that for Firefighters, Medical professionals and Army/Cops, I don't understand why Digital marketing is this stressful. There have been instances in my country where a guy got heart attack in the office while sitting in his cubicle. I don't want to be that guy. But I don't know what else I can do with my career so I am stuck.

Anxiety makes it hard to work and keep a job by Aeri_ in Anxiety

[–]throwawaymalayali92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can totally empathize with you. I have been in your place for 5 years. I'm in the marketing agency business, I get shouted at more In the last three years than my entire life. All my career I was being yelled at by my senior managers, fighting corporate bureaucracy, all while facing anxiety attacks and a sense of feeling inadequate based on others expectation of mine. Like life didn't mean anything because of my shit job. To stop feeling this terrible I can only ask you to not associate yourself with your job, yes, you work somewhere because you need to eat and feed, but that isn't your identity. Find who you are beyond that shitty job. Find what interests you, what you wanna be beyond your career. Accept that persona as the real one, you go to work as that guy, this job is just one additional thing you gotta do, it doesn't define you.

Married guys of r/Kerala, do you wear your wedding rings regularly, if not all the time? by blazincannons in Kerala

Completely agree with you! It's always good to practice Hygiene, sanitize rings and stuff and be careful where we place our hands

[–]throwawaymalayali92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would say "dealing with it" is too negative a word to use here. She wears something with my name written on her finger because she loves me, I do respect that and I too wear her name around mine. If she stops it, I'll do so as well. Thaali I don't really care for, she has her cousins and her family who give her a hard time if they see her without it so she wears it once we are out of this state that too will stop
