Give me some Sufjan Stevens, young love, graphic novels, tats, and clove cigarettes…because those days were great. That is all.
45F - Not sure what’s going on with me, but I feel so helpless and overwhelmed in tech. Could be AI stripping all of the good parts of my job, leaving me to be a glorified prompter. Or it could be the threat of impending layoffs every single week. Either way, I’ve fallen out of love with the tech field.
I came to this realization when my husband blamed my job and told me to start applying elsewhere.
I started to get my resume brushed up and couldn’t do it. I must have stared at my laptop for over an hour with my resume open. Just don’t have it in me anymore. It’s not the job, it’s all of it. A new job would be the same shit, different scenery.
Wtf is wrong with me?!? Anyone going through this?
With the push for AI in every workplace, I'm finding my "give a shit" is getting even worse. I've been flattened since Covid happened, and now it's the AI stuff.
I'm not even sure what it is...Maybe I'm feeling like nothing is really worth doing now that any idiot with a phone can come up something I've spent several hours on. Or maybe it's the fact that we have impending layoffs every single week (I work in tech).
Either way, it's making my symptoms worse and I don't know what I can do about it. Just seems like we're all going to automate out our livelihoods anyways so why bother even trying.
Sorry for the negativity, but it's messed up how much some people are getting such AI boners. I'm tired boss.
I’ve been dealing with weight loss, extreme fatigue, and nausea. Yesterday morning, my doctor had me do a cortisol level test and it was on the low end of normal (10 mcg/dL). So my doctor said I’m fine.
However, since I also had coffee, vyvanse, and Wellbutrin right before my appointment, I’m wondering if I should ask for a retest.
I don’t want to make it seem like I’m second guessing my doctor, but I feel like without the meds it might possibly be lower than what the test showed. Edited to add: this test was 7:30am in the morning, and I’m female 45yo).
Should I press for a retest? Thanks.
I have ADHD and OCD, so I bought a vagus nerve stimulation device. For the few days of using it, I’ve been very irritable, angry, tired, and highly unmotivated.
Does this mean that I’m trying to correct for something that didn’t need correction? I wasn’t expecting to have negative results.
