What is the best stress buster for you ?- Grapevine

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.

Intern

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

How Do You Guys Manage Everything

I noticed that my distraction levels increased drastically. Thanks to so many apps, every 5 mins, I end up scrolling for 10-30mins. I feel very depressed by end of the day for not being productive and the guilt is killing me. I observed working from office is more productive for me but that’s not possible all the time. Deleting apps is not helping and on top of it, I feel I’m missing out a lot of important content that actually helps to keep me updated. I heard meditation actually helps but I’m I find it very very challenging to meditate as I easily loose focus and become impatient.

Meditation helps with focus?

- Mindfulness, a Buddhist-based meditation, is often seen as a perfect solution for stress and mental health issues, but it can have adverse effects.
- Research shows that over 10% of regular meditators experience significant negative impacts on their mental health, including anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
- Adverse effects can occur even in people without prior mental health issues and can lead to long-lasting symptoms.
- Despite evidence of these risks, mindfulness coaches and resources rarely warn about potential negative outcomes.
- Ethical concerns arise about promoting mindfulness without mentioning its adverse effects, and more research is needed to understand how to practice it safely.

Meditation Can Backfire, Worsening Mental Health Problems

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand.

Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE DONE, I just have to work to finish it.

But when I get stuck on a problem, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE DONE, I just keep thinking about it even if I close my laptop. The more I think, the more scary the problem becomes and then I start thinking if it continues and I'm not able to deliver more work, I might get fired and then during background verification for the next company, they will see I was fired and then no one will hire me. Basically my thoughts spiral out of control and make my life miserable to the point where I don't feel hungry.

If I'm confident I'm very confident, I feel like i can do any problem but when I see myself failing multiple times, i lose my mental strength

I need help and I want to improve this nature, not get stressed when things go south. Do you guys feel the same or know how to handle it

Any books or words of wisdom or thought process that you follow which helps you deal with job related work stress will be extremely helpful.

Strange work anxiety

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am an ML engineer working in a startup.

My current situation is horrible,I am constantly stressed about getting laid-off(My performance is good,I got promoted a month ago). I came to know that my company will probably lay people off this month,since they are unable to meet targets.

Now,I got rejected in four interviews.
There is a lot to learn and revise.
Stats and probability.
Machine learning algos.
Deep learning architectures(got rejected because I was unable to explain the architecture of a complex model in detail).
DSA(got rejected twice in this round).
SQL (got rejected once since I was unable to solve the SQL problem).
ML ops(some recruiters ask this as well).

With the added pressure of getting laid off,my whole life is turned upside down.I am unable to focus.
Every meeting or discussion I attend I feel like people are evaluating me.( This was not the case before).
I don't know what to do.
It would really help,if you guys share your interview experiences below.

Could you guys recommend me a therapist which you feel has been extremely helpful for you?

I would prefer only online mode for sessions.

Any therapist recommendation?

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?

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

Assistant Manager

I feel I am constantly overthinking about the future and getting anxiety and stress. I feel I imagine the worst case scenarios and fall into a spiral. I am trying journaling and meditation but I am not able to do it for longer than a week or two. Does someone have any experience in reducing these feelings and having a calmer mind?

Dealing with anxiety and stress about the future?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games.

It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

For some ps5 is not about price, it's about their dream to buy since college days (many ppl I know bought it) and same goes for other stuff as well.

When did we stop living? What are we chasing? Why did we make living so complex? Life used to be so simple. Why are so tensed and worried all the time? When will all this end ?

Life is complex...

When did we stop living? 
  
 The day we started prioritising 'log kya kahenge' over 'mera dil kya kehta hai'. 
  
 What are we chasing? 
  
 Materialistic possession, fame, acceptance, s**, recognition. 
  
 Why did we make living so complex? 
  
 Because of the desire for more and more. There is absolutely no end to it. People want to bring resources to Earth by mining moon, Mars, and asteroids. 
  
 Life used to be so simple. Why are so tensed and worried all the time? 
  
 Because we became part of the system and lost view of the world beyond it. Anything out of the box is shot down by people within the system and we feel discouraged and remain in the system. 
  
 When will all this end ? 
  
 Never. It's sad and cruel, but it will never end.
