8 Months of Job Rejections Gave Me Panic Attacks 😰💔

Hey everyone, I really need some advice right now. I've been job hunting for over 8 months and I'm honestly at my breaking point 😭 The rejection emails just keep piling up, and I've only had one interview this whole time - which turned out to be a complete waste of time. Now I'm dealing with something I never expected: panic attacks. They hit me right when I'm trying to fall asleep, and my mind just spirals thinking about money, bills, and my future 😰 I lie there wondering if I'll ever find work again. I know I'm not alone in this struggle, but it feels so isolating. Has anyone else been through this kind of job search nightmare? How did you cope with the anxiety? I'm desperate for any advice or encouragement right now 💙 #jobsearch #anxiety #career #JobCareer

Is Anyone Else Dropping the Ball Lately?

Ever since the pandemic turned my living room into my office, I feel like my brain’s been running on dial-up. I’m a project manager at a small publishing house, and after half the team was let go, I’ve been juggling tasks from every department. Last week, I forgot to double-check some info with an external partner, and now we might have to pay to fix my mistake. It’s not the end of the world, but I can’t shake the anxiety. I used to be the person who never missed a beat—now I’m just hoping I’m not the only one who feels like they’re operating at 70% capacity. Does anyone else feel like they’re dropping the ball more often these days? Or is it just me, losing my mind one forgotten email at a time? 😅🤦‍♂️ #WorkFromHome #Anxiety #CareerGrowth #JobCareer

Is My Anxiety Sabotaging My New Relationship? 😅

Seven years ago, I lost my husband. Since then, dating has felt like walking through a minefield—awkward first dates, fleeting connections, and a lot of self-doubt. But now, at 35, I’ve met someone who actually makes me laugh again. He’s 46, thoughtful, and even told his mom about me (which, honestly, is both sweet and terrifying). Still, my anxiety keeps whispering that he’s probably seeing someone else or that I’m just a temporary distraction. Even after he asked to be exclusive and started planning a weekend getaway for us, I can’t shake the feeling that something will go wrong. Is it just me overthinking, or do these worries sound familiar to you? If you’ve ever felt your own fears creeping into a new relationship, I’d love to hear how you handled it. Let’s be honest—sometimes, our hearts need a little backup from friends who get it. 💬💖 #FamilyRelationships #DatingAfterLoss #Anxiety

My girlfriend always wants to take my personal space 🤯📱

Ever since I was a teenager, privacy has been a sore spot for me. My dad used to snatch my phone and go through everything—photos, messages, you name it. When he found out I was looking at stuff any normal 15-year-old would, he humiliated me in front of my whole family. That trauma stuck with me. Now, even as an adult, if someone grabs my phone, my anxiety skyrockets. My girlfriend of four years just doesn’t get it. She’ll randomly try to take my phone, convinced I’m hiding something. I’ve tried to compromise—she can look through my messages, but not my photos. That’s my line. But she thinks I’m just being secretive. Honestly, I’m frustrated and confused. Am I being unreasonable? How do I get her to understand that my need for privacy isn’t about hiding things, but about protecting myself? I’m tired of feeling like a suspect in my own relationship. What would you do if you were me? 😤🤦‍♂️📱 #RelationshipTrust #PrivacyMatters #CouplesIssues #Anxiety #Communication #RomanticRelationships

why do i still get nervous around my wife after 10 years together?

So, something weird happened this weekend. My wife came to watch me and our kid at our martial arts test. I swear, I felt like a teenager again. My hands were sweaty, my heart was racing, and I just wanted to impress her. We've been married for years, but I still get those butterflies when she's around. Is this normal? I thought the nerves would go away after all this time. Sometimes I feel like I’m still trying to win her over, even though we have a whole life together. It’s kind of sweet, but also a little stressful. I worry she’ll think I’m being silly or not confident enough. Anyone else ever feel this way? How do you chill out and just enjoy these moments without overthinking everything? Would love to hear your advice or similar stories. relationships #marriage #anxiety #selfdoubt #advicewanted #relationships #marriage #anxiety #selfdoubt #advicewanted #RomanticRelationships
