Sent, thank you very much!


OK I got your email and sent the invite from lobste.rs


Hi, can you share an invite for me too, please? topheman@gmail.com


OK I sent you an invite, friend.


Hi, are you kind enough to share an invite with me too? My email is saturnyx@disroot.org. Thanks in advance!


Yes, HN Friend. I just invited you, enjoy!


Thank you so much!


I would like to get your perspective on how did I exactly play with the reader's emotions, if I just shared my personal story and just gave suggestions on how to deal with stress at work? I am mentioning my program at the end of the article, after I made sure to provide value to the reader...

Since my original post, I also included a disclaimer that people don't need to buy my program in order to overcome anxiety and what other things they can do that might help.

I hope it all makes it clearer now. Thanks for the feedback!


I actually think it's clever marketing but I can understand how it can be disappointing for some ... I was just trying to understand why that person said what they said


Got it!


So I am curious, it seems like you didn't get any value from that article. Do you have some suggestions that might benefit others or some feedback for me? Thanks!


Thanks for the feedback. I am curious what kind of content were you expecting if my personal story and suggestions were not enough then?


Lol, I have am no affiliate to those apps, I just thought it will be valuable for people to get free 30 days premium instead of none. I can take out the links all together. I don't make any money from that :D :D


Apologies, if that's so then it makes sense to provide.


I also, included a disclaimer that people don't need to buy my program in order to overcome anxiety. I assumed it was clear in the article, but I guess not, so I added that too. Hope it helps :)


True! You are your best friend. All the answers are within you already!


Yeah, you have to be... Treat yourself as if you were your best friend. What would you tell your best friend if they were in the same situation? Then do that.

That's what a friend told me once. However in reality it's usually not that simple because it's easy to make up excuses... It's not easy to be human.


This must be one of the best advices that I saw here!

I completely agree on letting a job just be a job. We are so much more than our work.

A phrase I was practicing a while ago was: "I am not my work, my family or my friends". I would repeat it a few times over and over. It helped me a lot to detach myself from my worries/expectations about work, friends and family.

I actually did a podcast on the exact same topic "You are not your Work, Family or Friends" that might be useful for someone: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5q1hAzjRCYkCEsLERvr1zE?si=Z...


Agree on the caffeine intake. It has made a huge difference in my life! There are people who drink coffee and it doesn't cause them to feel stressed, but often times, coffee wil have other side effects like messing up your sleep.

I prefer to drink coffee occasionally and for daily, I would choose a green tea or something like Chamomile, does wonders!


If I need a caffeine boost I have a cup of decaff in the morning. There's still some caffeine in there, and it seems all I need. Green tea is also good.


That's true! I completely forgot about decaff... :D


Sending you a lot of love my friend!

I would suggest to get a therapist. Don't overthink it and don't search for the best one. Just find someone to share what you are going through. Sometimes it can be even a good friend. It will help you a lot to take this rock of your chest for now. I didn't try BetterHelp, but people talk good things about it and it might actually be the fastest way to reach a therapist depending on where you live. If you can't afford a therapist, I recommended in my article to try "Woebot Chat App". It really helped me when I didn't have the money to afford a therapist!

But this of course won't just fix your situation right away. You will need to change some things in your life. Sometimes even your identity in terms of who you are and what you do daily. Maybe change your environment, cut toxic friends, etc.

It's a long way, but trust me, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even, if it sounds cliché!

Feel free to email me at: me@andreizgirvaci.com. Sometimes just sharing with someone what you are going through and knowing there are people who listen can make a very big difference!

Again, sending you much love! <3
