My car is 17 years old and probably worth 4k. I’m looking for someone to just do a bare minimum paint job/wrap on the hood and roof. The hood is chipped to hell and the roof has sun damage. I went to Maaco and they wanted like $1,300 just to do the hood and roof and about 1k more for the rest of the car.

I may attempt it myself but I’d consider paying to save me the hassle for the right price.

Everything seems to suck right now, and my inability to make positive changes in my life seems more and more devastating. Stuck in a job that is slowly killing me (and has already mostly killed my spirit) that leaves me drained, cynical, and irritable, to the detriment of my absolutely amazing wife and kids. They're so supportive but my sadness is weighing on them. I can feel it, and I'm losing precious time with them while they are still young.

I ask for this recommendation as I plan on attempting to stop all of my mindless scrolling I do in my free time to distract my mind from all the sadness. I've been reading more than ever the past 5 years or so, but this year, as my mental health has declined, I've resorted to the mindless screens.

Stuff I've loved in the past (this list includes stuff I wouldn't read right now as it might feel too dark):

Steinbeck (East of Eden and shorter stories), Vonnegut (all of his most popular), George Saunders (everything), Bukowski, DFW (only his short stories), Douglas Adams (almost everything), Tolstoy (Ivan Ilyich), Kafka (The Trial), John Kennedy Toole (Dunces and Neon Bible)

I'm open to non-fiction/self-help if anyone has recommendations that might really cut through to me. The Power of Now changed my life a dozen years ago and I still revisit regularly, but the newer self-help type books (e.g. Atomic Habits) have done nothing for me.

I've requested a RA for part-time telework (10 hours/wk) for mental health. Suffer from pretty much what I think we all suffer from at this point (anxiety/depression) but I have been diagnosed and in treatment for the better part of 15 years. I've never had FMLA/RA. The anxiety has gotten really bad recently. Over the last month, I've been having panic attacks almost daily and have had to resort to taking my as needed medication on a daily basis. Mornings are fine but for whatever reason, the late-afternoon is when I always have the attacks. I feel fine to drive but I know my doc has always cautioned me not to after taking the medication. I'm just wondering if this is something I should share in my upcoming RA request meeting or if this could just open a whole other can of worms regarding driving safety/substance use? I actually have to drive for a good part of my day. My intention of my RA request to WFH for 10 hours/wk is to finish my day (charting/administrative duties) from home during the hours that these attacks keep happening. These are the questions I will be asked at the next meeting:

 

1.           WHAT ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS ARE AFFECTED BY YOUR FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS?

2.           WHAT CAN THE FACILITY/ORGANIZATIOON DO TO ACCOMMODATE YOU?

3.           HOW WILL THE REQUESTED ACCOMMODATION HELP YOU CONTINUE PERFORMING THE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF YOUR POSITION?

Anyone have a great therapist in Henderson? Been in and out of it for many years but out for the last 4 or so. I need to get back into talking with someone. Someone that might slap some sense into me and help me get my shit together.
