    You ever impulsively post something really dumb, and regret it a minute later?

    I have, once. Got help from someone on the forum, then we both decided it was best to have the topic deleted. It was still good I initially posted, though. As it did get me some help and make me feel better.

    How Does One Process Death of a Companion?

    I don't have a lot to offer that hasn't been said by others here already, but still wanted to express how sorry I am for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a pet. I remember my parents calling me that they had our dog (I wasn't living at home anymore) euthanized because she was in a lot of...

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    Sounds right! I don't like total freedom, I drown in the possibilities. So I prefer to be a foot soldier. I'll still open my mouth if I see things I think can be improved, but will then accept how they want me to do the work. I can understand that for software development, especially if your...

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    Yeah, I agree. I'm lucky I have a great (internal) jobcoach that keeps an eye on me.

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    Yeah, thanks a lot, brain :P Honestly though, I love to work - I can go all hyper on my work if it's clear and I'm enjoying it. Then I really need to set my alarm so I'll stop in time. But once things aren't clear to me, it affects everything.

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    Thanks, I appreciate it :) However, I'm just a grunt - the work I do is mainly as support for my co-workers. Right now, I suspect I only use a few percent of the program/system. But just one example of an issue I had a while ago; Some of my work involves marking areas where trees have been cut...

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    @Hypnalis: As for perfection, I did just remember my co-working mentioning something to me earlier. He said (something along these lines) that we're dependent on how proper the previous people entered everything into the old system. That we have to make due with what we have. I forgot about...

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    Sorry, it's old digital system to new digital system. The handwritten stuff I mentioned was already scanned at some point, so all that is digital as well. I am a perfectionist, yes. But I don't mind making a bunch of mistakes at first. At least then I know when I correct that, I'm doing it right.

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    Thanks for your reply! I do feel sorry about possibly having wasted your time though, and also for not being more clear. Honestly I'm not completely sure what I'm asking for either, my head is a mess. But for work, it's not the type that can be copy-pasted into another system. They're all...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I rewatched Terminator 3, first one I saw in the theater back in 2003. Not a good movie, but I really enjoy the action. Brings me back to the fun I had watching it with friends back then, it's a guilty pleasure movie for me. Original movie is my favorite one, though.

    Why am I so stressed/worried about work if I don't care about life?

    I'm not suicidal, but I am passive about living. I'm at peace with that, it's been like that for a long time. I can still enjoy things, I have awesome friends and enjoy spending time with them or on my hobbies. But if it feels like I'm just doing time, why am I even stressed/worried about work...

    Compulsion related to sentimental value items

    I have a question about compulsion related to personal items with sentimental value. This seems to be an issue for me that wasn't there 5-10 years ago. For an example; my dad got me a cool/rare figure back in the early 90s that I still have. Or at least, I think I do. About 10 years ago, I found...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Moving to different department, dreading a 'going away' with colleagues

    Well, I attended a final meeting with the 3 co-workers I've worked with the most. Our work is sort of a sub-theme within our team and we had regular meetings for it. It was good to see them and I gave them each a small box of chocolates. I told them (and all my other co-workers) that I couldn't...

    Moving to different department, dreading a 'going away' with colleagues

    Thank you all kindly for your replies and ideas. My team leader is great, she told me upfront that not having any send-off was fine as well. It's exactly that, I don't like being the center of attention. People might give me cards or a present. Or have a surprise for me because it's something...
