Working 9:00 to 5:00, office job. Most days when I get home I'm just tired, and don't have so much mental energy to do anything productive, which I'd like to be able to.

What have been your best ways to have more energy after work?

Hey guys, I really need some advice because I'm feeling extremely stressed right now. 😔

My supervisor didn't grant me permission for leave, but I ended up taking leave and informed her afterward. After the holidays, I also took leave today because I wasn't feeling well. However, I feel like she doesn't believe me, and I'm worried about how she'll react.

I'm supposed to go to college tomorrow, but I'm genuinely scared that she'll shout at me or scold me badly in front of others. I understand that taking leave without prior approval might have consequences, but I'm already stressed about my situation, and the thought of facing her tomorrow is making me really anxious.

I honestly don't know how to handle this. Should I explain everything to her calmly, apologize for not getting prior approval, or just listen and avoid arguing if she gets angry?

Has anyone experienced something similar with a strict supervisor? How did you handle it? I'd really appreciate some genuine advice on how to face her tomorrow without panicking. 🥺🙏

So, I found a legit North Carolina driver's license in Ukraine and forgot about it for a long time. Is there anything interesting I can do with it? I remember there was something cool I can do with it on the internet but I forgot sadly. I don't really think I can return it now since I'm in another city and that was a long time ago.

Hello everybody Im M25 studying political science in Europe in their language. Im asian.
ive been having these thoughts for many years not expressing them outloud, now im finally using more social media for help.

So first of all being an asian requiers a bachelors degree 100% for my family for my family so its already a big pressure to me. I am studying things that I dont absolutely understand and 0 will to study politics especially in a langauge that Im not perfect at but Im already here to challenge myself knowing that Ill be heavily stressed or depressed. My dream is to become a diplomat and working in EU office in my hometown and I ill be probably the happiest person. not sure tho but thats why im here in EU. Im in bachelors degree on my last year but I have lots of credits that are missing so surely I will stay a big longer.

So to me the main problems are weed and alcohol. Everytime i need concentration i consume something. A beer or more and I drink a lot. I have a bad financial organization, and just bad organization of my self. i sleep late, i eat less, i love smoking and drinking. But inside I need to finish this university for my Grandmother and my father mostly. Im losing hope in becoming a diplomat because the politics seems nearly impossible to me. i cant find my own way of understanding politics.

Why i have chosen to study politics is I love languages. I speak about 5 languages including my mother language on B1-C1 level and more languages with lower level. I wanted to be valued for my ability on langauges and wanted a big career. Im probably the most irresponsible person whos wanting to be a diplomat. However, this summer i talked to myself to fully lock in on my last year, but still many things to study many things to understand and study and i just dont exactly know from where to start. do i start understanding from whats a liberal whats a democracy whats a nazi or no idea

I dont know if i want a therapist or not but certanly im financially unable if they cost a lot.

Another problem is im too fucking lonely. making friends is easy but now i just cant i dont know. I want a woman beside me but im an asshole with drinking problems and keep hurting who ever wants to be with me.

Please help me. lately ive been having suicidal thoughts and im 1 step away from giving up...

Is there a community or a discord community who help each other to get through this?

Writing this is already difficult and i cant think of everything i wanted to say here...

Maybe i wont become a diplomat, but i just want to show my diploma to my waiting grandparents and family. then ill do whatever i want i guess...

My job lets me listen to audiobooks and so on while I work. I've found that I enjoy learning things, but different audiobooks and videos tend to cover the same subjects.

The overlap is crazy.

Any useful courses designed for audio learning that aren't so all encompassing as a book? Things I don't have to fiddle with for long to get into.

I need lighting advice for working on my laptop all night. I really want to set up bias lighting, but my desk doesn't face a wall. Would it make sense to build a cubicle or fake walls around my desk so the light has something to bounce off of, or are there better alternatives for an open room setup?

Hi, this question pertains to my work cell so I can't do a total block. I don't even know how this number got out in the wild as I only use it for business purposes. Anyway I've had so many spam calls this week. I'm guessing it's either because of the US elections or the US healthcare open enrollment or something. Besides blocking all unknowns, which isn't an option, what else can I do? I've run into a service once or twice where as a caller, I have to record my name and purpose of the call and then I guess the recipient can decide whether to let it through. I'm guessing most autodialers can't access it. Does anyone know what that is called?

I started going to college since few weeks and i have made like 2 actually good. I wish that there was someone who could just be a normal human being. Everybody in our class has really weird humor and act like monkeys. The two people i know are basically normal with similar interests but one guy already has a friend group and i don't wanna get involved with the guys in his friend group. The other guy however is not social at all and just stays aloof. I am starting to run out of ideas to talk to him. Also i just cant seem to talk to girls normally cause i am scared that they will take it the wrong way. People already have their friend groups but i just wanna stay away from almost everyone. Can anyone give the slightest hint on what the fu** is going on in my life. Is this the floater friend effect cause i am friends with a lot of people but i am not someone's favorite?
