It is easy for me to have anxiety and depression from work. I feel so critical of myself a lot and wish I could stop. It is a constant battle to accept little mistakes along the way throughout my day. If I freak out about them it makes it worse and causes more. Also I feel fake going through the motions is so boring. I could use advice on how to make interactions with strangers more enthusiastic. I like people but I'm shy. Some days are better and some days are worse. Also interactions with my co-workers sometimes require admitting mistakes which I am working on, and working on being accepting of. I can be a perfectionist, for myself and others. I think thats where my depression is, its more like an obsessive compulsive disorder, mostly its slightly neurotic. I suggested an obsessive compulsive disorder community.

I don't know what you do for a living so it's kinda hard to say, but I know that if you smile when interacting when people or talking on the phone, you sound happier, are perceived as pleasant and makes things a lot easier. So smile, even if you don't feel like it. It becomes habit after awhile. Laugh at the mistakes, it really is no big deal. xoxo

I'm a cashier. I like working in the department better. I was also a hostess and a waitress. I'm finally starting a job at an insurance company so that will pay a little more, maybe I'll be more motivated!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
