Take wise decisions...don't take any loan...if you have a small loan, borrow from friends and pay out the principal or if it is a car...sell it...don't think of expensive marriage, save on big things not small...don't be penny wise pound foolish....dont need to send kids to very expensive school..we all studied in public schools and did good.....think long term, decide priorities..e.g. home loan for parents, corpus for their retirement, your business etc. uske alaawa big spend mat karo...100 200 rs bachaake kuch nahi hota..keep your head clean, work on skills...keep routine schedule and excercise

Mental Health

*TW: Mental Health Struggles*

Hi there, folks!

I was contemplating about how my fellow professionals with mental health conditions manage their careers and grow despite the daily struggles.

You see, I deal with Clinical Depression and Anxiety which often hinders how I function day to day and have too manage through rigorous therapy and opting for heavy medication. 

This condition often disables me to concentrate on long-term performance and stability in a ln organisation- I often get burnout within 6-7 months of the job & need to take a sabbatical of the work.

I will love to hear about anecdotes and see if we all can create a space here. Thanks! (:

Is mental health a big problem for all you other PMs ?
Sometimes days, weeks and months are so difficult in aligning , solving and scoping that you have a breakdown .
The constant need to always be on top is exhausting and take a toll.
How do guys handle this ?

Lately i have been struggling to cope up with my work and family . It’s been very difficult at my work lately. Also my personal life is a roller coaster mentally! I feel difficult to cope up. People at my work are sarcastic about my performance even though i am fulfilling all my basic tasks. I sleep very late thinking about all these things especially my personal struggles! How are you guys coping up?

How you guys are taking care of your Mental Health?

Desires and expectations hata do life se… 
 It takes very less to be happy…. 
 Itna kamao ki apni jaruratein puri ho jaye bas….aur job ko bhi utna hi time do bas 
  
 Rest time should go in pursuing hobbies and friends/family time…. 
  
 Paisa jitna bhi kama lo, hamesha kam hi lagega… 
 Isliye time nikalo apni hobbies/friends and family ke liye

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I'm working at a decently large firm here in Bangalore, leading a cool project that involves stuff I really like, like modeling and data engineering. Plus, I'm helping leadership team with some cool projects which is giving me a lot of visibility in the org. Lately I'm finding it hard to stay motivated.

I'm on medication and seeing a therapist for depression, and I’ve been feeling a lot better overall. It's just that with all these responsibilities I'm not feeling happy. I sometimes vent out on juniors or colleagues (erratic behaviour).  

Has anyone else gone through something like this? What helped you get past this kind of mental block? Any tips or advice would be really helpful.

Mental Health Challenge @work

Started meditating now and use my Apple Watch for guidance. 

I wonder what other people are doing. Because I’m having some rough nights sleeping in due to anxiety.

Avoiding anxiolytics or beta blockers for now. Also avoiding a mental health therapist for as long as I can.

[Thread] How do you deal with stress?

I have recently joined a startup as an APM (My first PM role) and my manager is teaching me the bits and pieces of Product Management. The issue is, while he's helpful and experienced in this field, he sometimes talks to me in a very condescending way which kinda hurts me. I agree that I have a lot to learn and getting a job as an APM is a big thing, especially when you've been in a specialist role for all your life but I still don't get the point of patronizing your juniors. I'm trying to get better at writing documentation and specs but I get very disheartened after every spec review meeting I schedule with him.

Any tips for handling this? And what are some ways to get better at writing documentation and specs?

How to deal with a condescending manager?

Associate Product Manager

I am working as a senior product manager in a fintech startup. I am under a lot of stress due to work pressure, continuous badgering from business and tech stakeholders and loneliness. I always think of going home but staying in stressful job mainly because I don't want to be jobless. I can only post my views here anonymously because I don't want to be seen as loser. Request members if they can provide their suggestions.

PS : As far as my profile is concerned it's B tech + MBA from tier 1 college and 3 years of tech experience followed by 7 yrs into Product Management and living alone in Bangalore.

Deteriorating mental health

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Sorry if it feels like a vent but better be this than nothing else. This has been a slow year for me, I look everywhere and people are doing better than me. Being a fresher who had his offer revoked was already a hard blow but I somehow got a job at an MNC but even at such a low salary I'm being overworked and giving them more output than they deserve.

I'm slowly heading through a burnout or might be going through one and it's not good when I'm supposed to be so active learning new stuff but here I'm just churning out wheat like a slave. But this might not be a cry for help,I just wanna make myself aware of where I am and it's so much more than just these money-hungry sharks who hired us talking abt ethics that you should not be working for money but cause you can and enjoy. Ig I need steps to uplift myself I'll be back again tomorrow with more questions than these rants.

I'm so lost in life right now.

Software Engineer

I have one question for everyone. How do you resolve your issues if you have issues with your manager or lead? 
Or How do you build a trust if the trust is broken because of some delayed work, wrong work, wrong design, or something you did wrong in the past and he/she still judges you based on that but you're now doing better?

Managing conflicts

In these uncertain times w.r.t jobs, personal expectations, physical health and also especially for gen z, I see lot of friction from parents as well as view of world is mostly different. How do you guys manage mental health.

Data Scientist

Recently i am facing some personal issue and it is difficult for me to focus on the work in the office. How do you guys handle this? Do you have any tips

Handling work without the personal issues interfering

I am getting irritated with small small issues/mistake by my Team or by me. 
How to develop thick skin in IT world? What should be my thinking?

Sorry, last year I came from a very small town to Pune. 
Here people have thick skin to all the mistakes they do, or the mistakes done by management.
Also people are carefree for any work pressure . 

While me get into anxiety in everytime.

Senior Associate

I have been suffering from work related anxiety for the last 3-4 months. I have recently started taking medications for it. I am supposed to move to Bengaluru as my wfh has ended. My parents think it's a good idea as it will help change my environment. I am wondering if it's a good idea to share about it at my workplace with my manager/superior. I know it's subjective, but still. Because I am worried this has started to affect my performance. Also, I am a talkative and emotional person and may end up slipping these things anyway.

Informing manager / superior about anxiety

Don't share this with anyone in workplace unless you really trust your manager who you know will always have your back 
  
 But please start seeking therapy regularly and actively, and do have faith in the process. You'll be available to cope with it better hopefully

Program Manager

- Is there a song/Playlist that you listen to keep you going 
- Is there an activity that you do - gym, running, meditation, etc.. 
- Is there anyone - friend/family that you rely on who helps you see the positive side of things and motivate you to keep going

How do you manage to stay positive every day. Is there a hack?

Marketing Manager

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.
