Hi guys!

I applied at a small company a bit ago for Position A and went through two rounds of interviews but was not selected. This was all around the very end of June.

I just saw that they posted for Position B, a different position. Is it weird to apply to that one considering how recently I just applied and interviewed with them for a different position?

I don’t know how much crossover there is between the two positions. Position A was more data entry oriented and Position B seems more customer service oriented. The vibe I got from my interviews is that it’s a small but close team and I can tell just by looking at the application that it goes to the same HR person (it might be their only HR person honestly 😅)

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated!

I’ve had dysthymia and anxiety for a long time along with suicidal ideation but lately I have been absolutely miserable.

my dog died, things are awful at work, I’ve gained a bunch of weight and went off my meds and can’t even see my psychiatrist until the end of July.

Every day I think about going and jumping off a bridge or a tall building and every day it gets harder and harder to convince myself to hold on.

the only reasons I haven’t killed myself are because I think it would give my mom an actual heart attack from all the stress she’s under lately and because I haven’t figured out a way to do it that wont traumatize whoever finds me but also gives my family knowledge of my death so they can move on afterwards eventually.

what’s even the point anymore

Hi all!

My stepmom has been diagnosed with early onset dementia/alzheimer’s for about 5-6 years now and is 57 right now.

She does okay for the most part (as okay as you can be obviously) but I think lately she may be having hallucinations? she constantly storms in and outside, going between hitting the windows/doors of our cars to hitting the glass on the front door and repeatedly yelling “about someone getting out of her house!” she gets stuck in a loop like this for as long as two hours and it seems hard to break her away from this behavior.

like I said this is new behavior and I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do? I’m worried she’s going to hurt herself. Has anyone else dealt with anything similar?

To put it plainly my eating habits have been super out of control lately. I get fast food multiple times a week, the quantity is not great and I never really feel full so it’s not even great.

A lot of it is emotional: my dog just died, things are awful at work, and I have been dealing with mental health issues and dumbly (and unplanned) decided the right move was to just cut off my meds cold turkey.

But even with knowing the reasoning behind it and the cause and affect, I still don’t know how to stop or what to do.

Any advice?
