What I'd suggest is that's the real you probably you just held up in your own shell you just need to get out of it and come swinging. Rest leave it to fate.

Software Test- QA

Maybe because you are working at Tesla. 
  
 On a serious note, it might be happening because your brain has not got enough rest in quite some time; and being high either slows down or kills the chaos running in your brain, bringing forth the best of you. 
  
 I know it's not possible to get all the below types of rest very frequently, still it's worth referring to and trying to get whatever type of rest you can in whatever frequency possible:

My friend. Every drug no matter how good it seems initially is a long term drag in your life. Do not glorify it and get out of the drug

I'm in the same boat. Trying to figure out how to reach that state of mind 24/7. I suck at meditation though.

I become more creative. I talk amazing well and tell engaging stories. Make people laugh. All this is when I’m high.420. But I’m not completely opposite when I’m not high. Introvert. Shy. Lack of confidence and mind blocks. 

Is it true that medication can help you be in the best form all the time. Seriously? How much time of practise would it take to achieve that state of mind? 

Any other suggestions?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

The past week hasn't been good. Not sure why but I am doing blunders at my work. Confidence is at its lowest, imposter syndrome is kicking in as hard as never. 

Thought of switching from PMing also came in, but again not sure what is happening. 

For some reason, I am not feeling good about myself and I am not able to figure out why. 

Mind is totally fucked up, and it's hampering my work now. 

Need help, what should I do to feel calm.😞

ADHD is ruining my work as a PM

For me 5 - I start by 11 and end by 7 but take an hour lunch break, 4-5 tea/coffee breaks and some gossips - I tracked one day and it was 5.2 hrs.


What about you?

How many hours do you actually work per day?

Operations Manager

Just sharing for everybody. I personally meditate every now & then or do NSDR. Since I started this practice, I'm baffled at how anxious/in a rush I used to be about everything.

Examples: 
- Wake up in the morning, be in a rush to take a get ready
- Be in a rush to book Uber, anxiously looking at my phone
- Would get done with lunch/dinner in 5-10 mins, sometimes not even appreciating what had been made

It's gotten much better. But I feel this happens with too many of us. Please, just take a moment of calm. Breathe. The world will move with or without you, you need to find your calm.

Have a good one :)

A friendly reminder for the weekend and beyond: breathe, there's no rush!

I have been battling depression from childhood when I didn't even know it was called that. I am trying to switch jobs, I got 1-2 offers as well but I am not happy at all. I stay at home with my parents and work currently. I fear moving to a new place for a new job all alone would be very hazardous for my depression maybe. I tried therapy multiple times, didn't work, tried yoga, reading books, meditation, yet nothing seems to work. I double doubt on myself working in the IT field as well and think I don't wanna do this, i don't know whether it's cos of my depression or me actually hating the field cos I felt bad during my college days as well in anything i did.

I think of offing myself to attain peace and come out of my head from all the overthinking all the time but I understand i can't cos I have to stay well for my mom and dad who love me the most

Anyone has any solutions (maybe proven ones) to this matter?

I.

Is there any way to tackle depression

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been into programming since I was 15.
I have been working in the IT industry for the past 8 years and have been very successful in my domain because of my will to solve problems at work as interesting puzzles.

But this interest has slowly and gradually formed a huge part of my life to a level that if I am away from it for sometime, it gives me anxiety.

I am afraid this will affect my other parts of life like giving attention to my family, spending ample time with them.

As a process, I started to have no code Saturdays so that I am completely away from my laptop and spend time doing other mundane things. But this has not reduced the anxiety.


Any suggestions for reducing my workaholic nature ?

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?

Hello Grapevine
I am drinking massive amounts of iced black coffee and green tea simultaneously as a way to keep wired.
Modafinil and Nicotine gum to stay alert when busy along with Alpha GPC.

At the risk of sounding weak, this has become more and more rampant with me.

It feels as if I am living someone's elses life.

Somedays I just feel like living a life thats pointless. These are the days when I feel very prone to these emotional impulses of sudden "lonlinesss" (despite having few of the most amazing people in my life) or "emptiness" or "anti-gratitude/self-destruction". So much mental lethargy behing these useless chain of thoughts.

Am I the only one? Have I lost it? Am I sensitive? Is it a bad thing? Am I overworked? Am I too critical about my thoughts? 

Man this is so confounding.
