True Confessions - Don't Judge

I’m an introvert and struggle with anxiety. I’ve been working full time from home for years now, but just gave notice at my job because of horrible employee treatment. I got a good job offer yesterday, but the position requires me to work in office 5 days a week + a 30 minute commute one way to get there. This is wreaking havoc on me mentally and I’m not sure I’m going to take the job (I’m extremely lucky in that my husband has a great job and is able to support us while/if I’m unemployed- although definitely not ideal and requires tightening of the belt).
I feel very whiny complaining about this and having so much anxiety about it, but there it is. I wish I could control my stupid anxieties and such ... no judgements right? 😅6 -

I’m professionally quite apathetic, so no I wouldn’t say I’m excited about it, but the pay would be pretty good and from the interview the people were nice and seem to love it there. But I’m afraid of it launching me into a mental tailspin, and I also think if given a little more time I could 100% find something comparable that would allow me to continue WFH.0 -

I tend to use my own regret as a guide in situations like that. So would you regret passing it up?0 -

I hated my body after I had my first baby. I now have 4. I went from hating it, to accepting it. Do I like my body, not completely but I have accepted it and I'm working on the parts that I dont like. It really makes me sad when I read others saying they hate their body because that was me at one point in my life and I know the hurt that comes with those feelings. I've seen you around and you seem like a nice person. You're here to work on yourself and I hope that one day you get to a level of acceptance and know that if we both put in the work we can both get the bodies we want. Strong and healthy:)
I’ve always been full and curvy all my life until the last 10 years my thyroid stopped working and I ballooned to the biggest I have ever been. I lost almost 100lbs but bc of my age and the fact that I have been round for so long my skin has no elasticity. No matter how hard I workout it just won’t go back. I have huge mirrors in my bathroom so every time I get out of the shower I’m reminded of it. It’s taxing. I am going to do something about it but last night was one of those lows. Thank you though for your kind words. 🌻4 -
If u both hate your bodies then Gimmie Gimmie gimmie I'll take them and love them and squeeze them 😋
Thanks made me laugh cause I imagined this

I have to drive 30+ to work everyday and I love it. You might enjoy it. I’ll put on audio books, turn up the radio full blast, unwind from to many people that we need a plaque and just be by myself. Hope things workout for you. 🌻2 -

I don’t know. That’s a good gauge to use though. I need to figure that out.

Those are really good ideas/points. Unfortunately the commute is 30 mins mostly due to traffic; that’s hard to relax in. But audio books are a good idea, should I accept.0 -
@caco_ethes @mommabear4315 thank you guys for putting your thoughts, time, and energy into your responses ❤️ I can objectively recognize that I am very lucky that this is the issue in my life causing me anguish.3

I honestly don’t know if it is a good gauge 😅. I mean I certainly don’t tout it as such. But since regret is harder than anxiety to overcome (for me) then thats how i frame things a lot.
And just because you feel like having this dilemma at all is a sign of privilege certainly doesn’t make it less of a dilemma. You gotta take care of yourself. Anxiety is a beast1 -
I am very angry with my mother because of the way she is living right now. I try to help and give suggestions but it always leads to a fight. I don't know how to help her since she doesn't seem to want help but I also can't just ignore her because she's my mom.5

I have one of those mothers. She’s 82 and she refuses to move in with anyone of us. She said she wants to die in her house. She’s had a good life and provider that helps her. We all gave up because she was miserable. When it comes time she can’t take care of herself any longer she agreed to let us come get her. Parents are us as teenagers. Have patience. Have a great evening.2 -
Sometimes I go into the advice threads just to provoke the cico crowd and see how many disagrees I can get 😂4

I'm feeling mighty selfish right now. I have a sister who doesn't drive who needs a test that apparently can only happen at a facility 45 min from us. She wants to schedule it on a holiday so I don't have to take off work, but I'll be getting back from vacation very early the am before. Me no wanna do it.........3

You have a great attitude and seem like a beautiful person.
I confess that I hate my life. I hate my job I hate my wife I hate my kids. Now do I love my kids because I have to yes. Kinda an oxt Moron I guess. But. I sure dont like them. They are just like my wife. Mean and nasty. I would so much rather just be single and happy. As for my job. I own my own company but I hate it. I use to be a police officer and i so miss it. Sorry just ranting.
Life is too short, please make some changes somehow!! Seek therapy, couples counseling, something.
Chances are your wife is just as unhappy as you are.
Hoping for the best for you!!0 -
