Good news is I got regular severance which should carry me for like 5 months worth of expenses. 
Bad news is I have a mortgage. 
Good news is I'm already doing interviews.
Bad news is they don't seem to pay as much as I was getting.
Good news is I have alcohol 🥃 to cope with today.
Bad news is I have GAD.

about that, I've experienced that as well. I hope the interviews go well for but don't be bummed if they don't. The job market

Hair dye is a bit extreme, and I am worried that you will get hired immediately as a top level exec at Microsoft or somewhere like that, to eat vegan brunch and post pics of your theythem-weenie all day on the company Instagram.
Pronouns are great. They/them can't fire you for being a fellow them, that's mean. And you get $$$ for that kinda thing.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Meaning actual anxiety diagnosed by a Dr., not tiktok anxiety
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's actually all in your body (psychosomatically). To snap out of it requires you to deliberately enter intense social situations on a frequent (aka daily) basis despite the intense spaghetti-ing that will happen for even the first few months. Dates, presentations and protests are all good things to go do. Otherwise you develop aversive habits towards the anxiety itself which is an awful spiral to get out of. Eventually your body more and more is like "eh, who fricking cares whatever" and you don't feel the anxiety anymore
and the spaghetti stops being as bad

Thx. Ill try to follow this advice. I'm actually forgoing medication with my current psychiatrist, kind of against his will, cause I want to tackle this head on from the root, instead of with meds

Anxiety fricks you up in other ways though. I had a really bad anxiety for a while and I just couldn't fall asleep.
Having your heart's BPM go crazy while you're lying in bed trying to sleep is quite the experience.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yes! All the more reason to tackle it head on. I unironically think the anxiety-aversion loop is the single worst mental space the average person can get into. Anxiety+Aversion will hype up your body, making you acutely feel what you desire and what you want to do, and then force you to watch yourself turn away again and again from it with more and more regret building over time. It would be genuinely evil to inflict something like that on even your worst enemy, let alone yourself.
Not to get too
but it is interesting how people report there being body vs mental highs with cannabis. In a similar way I think certain emotions can be more heady or more embodied. Anxiety is definitely one that is more embodied. Like you were saying there is a direct, obvious physiological response in the body to anxiety and it's stressful af.

IDK how young you are but entering the professional workforce during an economic downturn fricking sucks.
I feel like I shouldn't be worried about getting canned on my first gig
Hopefully it works out for the better though, many the five months are an opportunity to pivot to a growing industry.

Thank you, I'm actually not that new on the field, I had just never been laid off. I do fricking hate tech tho. Not sure I can pivot in this short time, sadly.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
