I've recently told my boss I've been struggling and need extra help. I told him I was hiding it to avoid negatively impacting my career. He told me it was not a problem and suggested I take a week off work to refresh myself. I was shocked. My company is super helpful and is helping me with resources. I was shocked... I am shocked.

Have you told your work?

Well, I just joined Lemmy and found this community. I clicked Neurodivergent and found out I'm Neurodivergent. I had no idea that Dyslexia, social anxiety, trouble with math, and spelling were all part of it. I mean, I always knew I see the world in a different way than most, and I feel special because of that. So hello! and I'm glad I found this community.

Hey all,

I’m going to change the frequency of the question bot from daily to weekly. It seems to get a few upvotes every so often, but very little engagement. My hope with having it at all was to create an “ice breaker” type post to get others to feel open enough to engage in the community. Let me know your thoughts though if you would rather it be even less often or not at all.

I'm considering doing online therapy; however, I've never done therapy before.

Would you recommend in-person only, or is online okay? My instance offers some online resources called Teledoc.

I hear it cannot be easy to find someone you like and trust. It seems like the pool of people online is a lot greater than local to me.

Hey everyone,

I'm working on some automation that I will add to a bot account for posting the daily question. I'd love if anyone has suggestions for questions/topics. I'll add a credit mention for you if I use a submission (or keep you anonymous if you want). Feel free to reply here or DM me

A couple of days ago, I met with my Psychiatrist for the second time. It's my first time seeing one.

She had put me on some medications on the first visit. During the second visit, she said things like, "I cannot believe I did that." and, "Sorry, I'm dealing with some family issues if I seem aloof."

How am I supposed to react to this? Is this typical?
