It seems like half the posts on the is sub are complaints about how someone’s opponent isn’t playing how OP wants them to.Thats literally their job, though.
You want to dribble stick? Then off-ball. You want to kick to a corner? Smother them. You want to mash? Don’t jump. ETC
I don’t get why this sub thinks everyone is entitled to their opponent playing exactly how they want them to, when there’s a human on the other end doing what they can to win too. It’s truly “main character” syndrome.

Im a lead engineer at the moment with 12 years experience happily employed, I was approached for a position worth double my current salary only reason I thought about replying.
I have some concerns over the culture very much feels like a place where you do it until you burn out, but I’m still sussing it all out.
Anyway didn’t hear from them for a while figured they’d lost interest only to find a calendar invite for a coding interview, at no point did they check my availability.
Am I wrong to see this as a giant red flag?

So I have a few weeks before I actually leave, but basically this was my first job so I’m not entirely sure how all of this works yet. I’ve been here for a year by May 3rd(I promised my mother I would stick it out for a year for the sake of my resume) but essentially I’m looking to put in my two weeks soon (as soon as I get hired at one of the places I’m interviewing for) is there anything I need to know/do? How do I go about my 401k, since it came out of my pay, I should be able to get it back or at least transfer it to my new job, right? I just learned about how to get paid sick leave, so I filled the form out for the time I was hospitalized. I assume any paid vacation time will pay out when I leave, how that does work? So by my one year mark, I’d get a paid week off. Since it’s basically 7 paid days off iirc, would that be for 56 hours? Or do they chalk it down for 40, or my union store minimum which is 24? Is it better to use it or let it get paid out when I leave because I’m planning on doing the latter. I also work in the norcal division w/ ufcw5, not sure if any of that matters? Also the shoes for crews, will the remainder that I haven’t paid off yet just be deducted from my final paycheck or do I need to do anything special?

Would you guys mind giving me any tips? I have a job lined up post graduation but recruitment season was tough even though I have ample experience. Very interested in finance and data analysis.

Hey Reddit,
I'm 24 and from a developing country. I was super lucky to get a remote job at a successful US startup. My title is pretty unique, but essentially, I work with sensitive data and manage projects. Otherwise, I have a little experience in tech support and softdev.
I make enough to save about $1k each month. The job could really open up doors for me later, the company's doing well on the market and offers great stock options. If I stick around for another few years, I could walk away with at least $300k. It's a crazy amount of money for my family or someone from my country.
But, honestly, I'm really struggling. The night shifts, overtime, crazy responsibility, bad management, constant challenges etc. On top of that, I'm still dealing with depression and anxiety, which this job just makes worse. I barely have time to chill, travel, watch movies or anything else.
I really want to stick it out to make some money, invest, help my mom retire comfortably, and not stress about finances down the line. But part of me wants to quit so badly, and I feel super lost. Every day my mental and physical health is degrading, and I don't know if it's worth it.
What would you do in this situation and why? Would it be crazy to quit? I know I'm the only one who should know the answer, but I wanted to hear your thoughts and see your perspective. I know how mental health is important, but is it more important in this situation? It feels like I'm trading four years of my life for this money. Does not sound so good... Or does it?
It's my first post on Reddit; I'm sorry if it's not the right place for such questions.

Edit: sorry for poor grammar in title.
Hi, my name is D [24]. Let me provide some quick background on me. I work in marketing and social media in the recovery field. I was very successful in school (graduated 2nd in my class in high school and very successful in college). I’ve been pretty introverted my whole life, I am a high functioning autistic, but most (to be honest all) people can’t tell unless I say it. I tend to do better when surrounded by other people, I feed off them in a good way. I am a big video gamer, I can be really funny and extroverted once I am comfortable but I have a hard time doing that. I get lonely at night and have really bad anxiety at times. A lot of my friends I don’t live close to after college, so I spend most of my time working or gaming. This story is heavy, so if I miss anything or if anything’s confusing - please ask away. About 6 months prior to this, I broke up with my girlfriend of two and half years. One of the hardest things I have ever done. I wanted to break it off because I knew I wanted kids and she didn’t (on top of other long term goals). There was more to it, but that’s the most important. This choice had no short term benefit, but I did it for a better future for me. It was a really healthy relationship, she was great - but I wanted my forever person. I promised myself my next partner would be that (or hopefully would be that). We are still friends to this day.
My main game used to be World of Warcraft. I needed help with something and I asked around and met a girl named Samantha (Sam) Ingrid [24]. Total circumstance. She was incredible. I have done online dating/LDR before, I didn’t want it again, but this sort of just happened. I didn’t ask for it. She lives in Kentucky. I live in New England.
We talked nonstop, we had great healthy communication, we had a lot of similar interests and goals. It was very flirty from the start and we had a ton of chemistry. We could call, leave voice memos, and talk all day and night. It was very hyper focused and intense compared to the start of most relationships. We talked about dating and both wanted that soon, but decided it would be best to wait to meet up. A few weeks into talking, she let me know she had 3 daughters. She didn’t let me know at first because I guess we weren’t serious enough. I didn’t care after thinking about it and was willing to try it out and see how it goes. Things went great, we agreed we would begin dating before meeting up because we both were so into each other. Next few weeks go by and things are great. We were talking about meeting up soon (no set plans), but she’s starting a new job and it would be easier to meet. We would talk and play all day. She introduced me to an online friend named J. J and her used to flirt back in middle school days, but never dated, she said. He was just a friend. She didn’t want him to know about us dating so he wouldn’t feel like a third wheel. I was okay with this at first because I know how that feels. But I would always get into my head and get a little jealous, but she reassured me they were just friends. But, we all had a ton of fun together and had a small friend group. Also, Sam and I to clarify (to my knowledge) were fully boyfriend and girlfriend.
One day, it appears I’m randomly blocked out of nowhere.. When she blocked me, I reached out to our group chat while anxiously spiraling. He noticed I really wasn’t okay so he messaged me privately, asking if I was dating Sam. He told me the truth.
Her nickname “Sam” is true, but it was a different first name and last name. Sam actually has 4 kids (she didn’t mention she also had a son) and she’s engaged. The youngest 2 of the children are with her fiancé. Her son does not live with her and her fiance “C.” I went through her Facebook and it seems she was acting herself to me, but just keeping any secret involving him. They have been engaged for multiple years. He showed me her Facebook. He explained back when they were teenagers (14), she catfished him under the name “Anna” and they dated for almost a year. One day, she just vanished. Two years later, she came back on Facebook and apologized. They were acquaintances, but when she was on WoW, she reached out and they were friendly and started playing together. He forgave her because they were so young and figured she would never do it again. He said he’s on my side and was also mad because she told him that I was just a flirty friend and to ignore my flirting. So she lied to us both to keep us at bay, but at the same time wanted us all to be friends. Really manic behavior.
She called us very drunk the next day and I had to pry the truth from her. She wouldn’t admit it on her own. C (the fiance) saw all of the messages and they got into a big fight. They ended up drinking and she just kept drinking because of the pain. Her best friend took her to the mental hospital. She also told J that C had choked her out (and provided a photo), but once sober and a few days later said that was C’s brother and not him. I still don’t know if this is fully true, but I do have a photo of the choke marks.
She called me in the hospital (I can confirm she was really there and a patient) and things seemed to be a little better. She gets diagnosed with Bipolar and Psychosis. At first she wanted to end it with C forever. I felt good about this because I loved her, and I could reestablish boundaries and if she wanted me back in her life. A day later, she told me after thinking about it more, she’s decided she doesn’t know what she wants. This hurt a ton because I had been so good to her. I never yelled even after she lied to me about a ton, I was so respectful, and I could tell how happy she was around me. She said it was so easy to talk with me. When she got out, she didn’t respond to my messages.I had J check Facebook (FB) to see if she was online and she was. She messages him that she’s out, but to keep it on the “down low” from me. This pisses him off and they get into a fight where he calls her out and they block each other on everything and I get blocked on a few things and she messages me I was working with him to get information from her and it’s “triggering” for her. This is not entirely true and we talk a little and she says she was planning on calling when C (fiance) wasn’t around. I asked why didn’t you just let me know that and she dodges that. Eventually, she says she will call when he’s not around, but never does.
It was really rough for me. I feel I lost all sense of agency and control. When I thought I would be able to set boundaries, she just vanished with no care for me. I cried on the phone to J every night worried sick about her. And she just cut me out like that. I broke down with an anxiety attack a few days later and almost had to go somewhere. Eventually, I found a therapist and I am still talking with him. A week passes and I saw she was on WoW and she was on for the first time since everything. I asked J and he said I should reach out because I wasn’t blocked and get some closure I never got. She responded and we talked for four hours in the game. Part of me wanted to reach out because on social media, it seemed she/her family blamed everything on her diagnoses. But, I knew if she never got caught she would keep going and going. And I was right. She confirmed she chose him, but we agreed to talk more if she reached out first. I made a burner discord and she would uninstall and reinstall discord if he wasn’t around.
They continued their unhealthy relationship (they fight a ton, their son doesn’t live with them, total mess as a reminder) as we talked. It was good for a few days she said between them, but eventually their toxic thing went back to toxic. A week or two passes of us talking and calling and now video calling (I can confirm she is really the person on FB and all images she has EVER sent, were really of her). She told me she’d like to be with me and end things with him. I said okay I’d be interested in exploring that but we would need to be friends after she dumps him for a bit so we can rebuild trust. I knew I really fucking loved this girl and would move mountains for her. We talk all the time (when he’s not around) and whenever he’s not around we call and talk as much as possible. She even makes up excuses to leave the house so we can talk. A few weeks pass and they still are fighting. She gets drunk one night and insists I add her on snapchat. I do and he finds it going through her phone later that night. He doesn’t know it’s me but it causes them to argue more. She confirms she still wants to be with me and is taking steps towards that. This past week her communication has been way worse, we talk way less, and she seems more focused on hiding me, then my feelings and wellbeing. She is very busy with the new job and that’s our primary time to talk. As the week progresses - for the first time ever, she is also leaving me to read or ghosting me. Either because he’s around and he can’t see or because she’s just not as interested anymore. I know she's not mentally well. But I love her and it’s hard to let go, especially not having many people in my life. A boundary I set is to please not post him on your story because I don’t want to see. On Friday, they went on a date and she posted to him like 6 times. It felt so rude and disrespectful to me. All of this, while ignoring me because he’s around. She told me she'd be back later that night two days in a row and she never showed up so I was worried. On Saturday, she leaves me delivered all day and then opens my message and blocks me. This hurt because I set three boundaries when we started talking again - don’t use me, don’t hurt, and don’t leave me for good if you choose that without telling me why. And she broke all 3 of those at that time. This morning she reached out on the last application I am not blocked on (Discord burner) and said this before blocking me. She said, “I wanted to talk to you about this. We went to dinner and had a long talk. I chose him. I think in the back of my mind, I was always going to choose him. I love him with everything in me. And I’ve not been very good for him. I should have kept it strict and gave you the closure you wanted and that’s it. You are a great person, D. You will find someone to give you their all, and that’s not me.” I was glad she let me know, but it hurts that she wasn’t even sorry to me for anything. I know it was honest and it really hurts, but is also really telling she didn’t apologize to me and just cares about his feelings. She has fully cut communication now and probably forever. I am so jealous of C, but I am not after seeing how she can lie. I doubt I would be able to fully trust her in a relationship anyways. My therapist says we all have a sense of ego and that’s why I have had a hard time letting go, also a lack of closure. This was a little closure, but not exactly. Does she love me? Did she just use me? What exactly changed? I will never get answers to these and this is why it’s so hard for me to process (even over that 2 and a half year relationship with my ex).
I feel stuck, I feel devoid of purpose, I’m not the person I used to be. Not anymore. She broke me. I’d be open to moving on, but all I do is work and I’m never out of the house. I don’t even want to fold laundry or eat. A lot of my friends live far away, or just have moved on since college. But idk if I’m ready for something new, I’m so jealous of him but at the same time not because she keeps cheating on him with me. It just hurts being her backup boyfriend or whatever. I feel so sad and so lonely all the time. I guess I am here for advice or just your perspectives.
Should I reach out and tell C we have been talking again (I doubt he knows)? Part of me wants to because I’d want to know, but I feel it would be more revenge on her then wanting the best for him. My therapist says I shouldn’t because for once I should just protect my heart and not worry about everyone else over myself. If I do that, I potentially rehash a lot of shit. How can I move on easier? Part of me wants to go on a small vacation from work to get away, but I have nobody to go with or nowhere to go. I just feel very stuck, empty, and I have no ambition or goals anymore. Thank you for reading this all (almost 2500 words). I wish I could write papers this fast. If you have any questions or need clarification, please let me know. I need advice and support right now so I appreciate you reading this.

I cut off my bipolar mother because of her latest manic episode, after 10y of supporting her
I (30F) cut off my mother. She is bipolar and currently in a manic episode. I cut off contact and cut her off of the financial support I was offering and have been for the past nearly 10 years.
Trying not to make this post longer than it should be, but IT IS going to be long, and I thank anyone who will read through everything.
Some context: - I grew up in a post-comunist Eastern European country, rather comfortably, except for when my father would gamble away our income (a few tens of thousands of $ every 6 months - rental income) and we would suddenly be poor for a few months until the next rent was paid to us - I went to private school and received a good education. I was also lucky to be away for most of the day so I sometimes avoided being around my parents when they had arguments - my mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 11 years ago, right after I left for college to another country, though her symptoms started way earlier; she also had panic attacks and OCD - Narcissistic husband, 14y older than her - I grew up in an incredibly tense and mostly verbally abusive environment. My father would never hit me but would pick on simptoms of her (undiagnosed) illness and wreak havoc: smash plates, yell and fill the air with rage, grab her, sometimes hit her, often cheat on her (some of his mistresses even lived in the same house as us - it was a 10 bedroom restored 100 y/o house) and even gave her STDs. - I have no sibilings, just half brothers and sisters from my father's side, and only a few years ago learned I had one more and wasn't the youngest one
The whole story is very complicated, but in a nutshell: my mother has always relied on me for emotional support since my father alienated her from the rest of her family. I left for uni and she had a massive mixed episode with schitzofrenic and suixide symptoms and as a result was institutionalized for a few months.
Once I started my paid internship and started earning relatively well, my father moved to - off all places - Las Vegas (with our last liquid 50k) and has been living there ever since. He moved - not before 'making sure' the banks would liquidate all our assets (houses, office buildings, land, art, cars) - due to his excessive gambling. A few years prior, he even gambled away my tuition fee for a Swiss University, so I had to settle for a much much cheaper one in another European country.
My mother has always been a stay at home mom and never worked, so once the banks took everything I stepped up, did not finish university, and continued working abroad and supporting both of us. All the while she was to stick to her meds and try to find a job, regardless how little it paid (she failed miserably).
I worked my way up to Assistant Hotel Manager on cruise ships and was probably 1 year away from becoming Hotel Manager when my mother had another manic episode.
Cut to when I come home for a 2 week holiday to find out a she had been missing from home, our dogs were starving and house full of pee and sh!t. Found her a week later - 60km from where she was living, surrounded by very odd men and I don't even want to know what they were doing to her. Only found her because one of them found me and texted me to ask if she was my mother.
I manage to institutionalize her with the help of the police and ambulance, once I finally got ahold of her. Got her a full STD panel and she was, luckily, fine.
Needless to say, I decided to stay in the country for her. Switched industries, took care of her, lived with her, went through another 2 episodes, but finally managed to stabilize her and help her reintegrate into society as a functioning member 4 years and a half later.
I then moved to a new country. I was working remotely and decided to take the leap again. I had spent far too long in a corrupt and sickening country - taking care of a sick person that could barely be called my mother anymore.
Fast forward another 2 years, during which I visited her almost once every 6-8 weeks, made sure she took her meds, paid rent, utilities, very hefty cleaning services (she never cleans, or barely does, even when she is 'stabilized') all so I could put some distance, work on myself, heal from all the fcuking trauma that both her and my father inflicted on me.
Until her latest manic episode got triggered.
I flew to my home country and arranged for us to meet somewhere. I had been talking to her about going to see someone together because she seemed a little distressed. Morning of - after I land - she doesn't pick up. Calls me 2h later to tell me to meet in front of a church (no address, just very confusing directions). A Tom and Jerry-esque chase ensues throughout the whole city with me running around from police station to another and declaring her as a missing person to get help and get her institutionalized by force again.
Police find her. I arrive to witness her in a very devilishly calm state. They claim they can't have her admitted in the psych ward again, as she seems normal. Mind you, any trained eye could see she wasn't - she was wearing very bothersome make-up, smoking a lot, stuttering, raising her tone at me, she had pretty bad BO and other symtoms I have learned to notice from the way she speaks, dresses and excessive spending. She was telling the police I was after her money (she has nothing, again I pay for all her living costs except food and even send her extra money), and that my s/o (that I had just started dating 2 mo prior and is the kindest partner I have ever had) put me up to it, or that I'm the crazy one.
I got immensely distressed, started crying and shaking to the point that my nose started bleeding. So I left her, and the country the next day. I did not have it in me to fight with an ignorant group of people - the police and ambulance staff - who were all saying she's clearly fine. The police officer in charge was a lady who did not want to forcefully admit her because she was scared my mother would sue. She had me drive to the psych ward, and home to collect documents to prove my mother had been admitted prior, only to deny helping us.
3 months later - now. I blocked my mother after constantly asking her to go for a check-up or even get herself admitted. I will stop paying for her rent and all other costs I was supporting as I have recently resigned and need to look for a new role.
My father is not in touch with her, he pretends the issue is only mine and is living his happily ever after in the US with his Filipina girlfriend. We had been estranged for the past 8 years until I needed to get in touch with him while I was 'chasing' my mother to get the contact of a family member.
No one is helping me, not even my mother's sibilings, not even her own mother - likely due to the communism enrooted in them, that everyone must fend for themselves and the fact that for a long time my father forbade my mother to speak with any of them.
My father keeps telling me 'oh, that's too bad, what a pity, I'll try to help' but doesn't do anything concrete - just sends me selfies of him living his best life, talks to me about the pigeons he feeds or his girlfriend. He's 70, and seems to be losing it too.
I have decided to give up, but as a result am feeling an immense sense of guilt. My mother probably lost her job. Will not pay her rent. Is living illegally as no deed was ever signed, it was just a handshake. I blocked the owner, not before giving him my father's contact and telling him he'd pay henceforth. My mother is also due to move out in June. She was supposed to do so in January, but spent her salary on clothes and jewelry + invested in an online trading scam.
The story is so much more nuanced than this and I am at my wits' end. Everytime something good has happened in my life I had to pay by bearing the cross of my mother. I am exhausted. I met an amazing person last year, he's been incredibly supportive and we're considering marriage, kids and all. How could I start my own family if I'm busy being the mother of my mother? Because my father is an abusive pile of garbage. Because she stayed out of comfort and for my education (also because my father threatened to have her raped and killed if she divorced him). Because neither was educated enough to take action well before the sh!t really hit the fan. All this with zero family or authority support.
What do I do? What would any of you do? And how do I get rid of the guilt?
She will end up on the streets or if she's lucky, in a gutter.
PS: I have been in and out of therapy for the past few years, but stopped a few months ago. I'm mostly doing fine myself except for some emotional eating and the occasional mild depression episode that I've learned to shake myself out from.
TL;DR: I cut my bipolar mother off after 10 yrs of supporting her with no help from estranged father and authorities. I feel guilty, but somewhat relieved. AITA?

When I read through here, I do wonder how the country will be in a few month or a year even. Seeing that a member of the parliament just shot in the nightclub and can run freely, no charges. Other than that, that adults no longer are allowed to study, meaning, no allowance, meaning way too expensive to study anything.
Then the health care goes more down than it already is, aging population and the hate against foreigners. No jobs, rent, food and prices in general raising.
I am a foreigner myself, and I do wonder if I should just watch this, or leave before it gets worse. Anyone else who thinks of moving out of you foreigners again? Or any Finns who think that this goes into a weird direction? Or are these posts here just fake (I don't think so though).

I saw a couple of posts on here about having a SHINE interview… my interview is tomorrow and it is a video call on microsoft teams.
Is this a different type of interview?

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fnetflix-completion-rate-v0-rlzlcqoct9xc1.png%3Fwidth%3D900%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Df185f4d59a43c9809fefd85eac6b455ad8d07724
Table didn't come out good. And look like I can't post pic, so the table is in the link.
. How to read this. 28 days completion rate, then 90 days completion rate. The other colorized is the status of the series. Renew or cancelled. If a show is renew prior to the season air, then it has more to do with the strength of the season prior. Then there are limited series which meant to be one off. However, if a show really successful. I am sure they will find way to make it not limited. This is rank on the % of completion by the time period of 28 or 90 days.
.
Maybe Netflix does consider completion rate. But I think based on overall est. viewers (hours view/show runtime), budget consideration, and demographic. These three probably covered the completion rate. The two example people gave for their theory that completion rate are everything is 1989 and Heartstoppers. Heartstoppers had low viewership but got renewed for 2 seasons. This can be explain away by the target viewership LGBTQ+ are much smaller (probably less than 10% of the overall viewership). So they already expected this show to have lower viewership anyway. The budget is small, and it nice to have different properties that target different consumer base.
.
1899 is on the opposite end, had an okay viewership but got canceled. But what they don't tell you is that it was (and may still is) the most expensive German television show up to that point. 62 million dollars in 2018/2019. That is like about 71 mil around the time One Piece was shoot. About 8.9 mil per ep if shoot in 2022. That is expensive. For that price, the viewership is not good enough.
.
As you can see when I rank all the available data, shows that have so low completion rate like Dark, Fubar, and Sandman have renewal. While shows like Sex/Life, Firefly Lane, Shadow and Bones got canceled. Even Manifest had dropped its viewership so much that it is about time for it to finished, despite the high completion rate.
.
Why it doesn't really matter to me. Nielsen is around for like a 100 years. I trust them. I trust Netflix with their very own data. While most of these completion rate data came from Plum Research. And I don't know what is their methodology. Do they have special access to Netflix data? They said they have global reach. But I don't have the confident until I see a lot more from them. Especially since some show like Squid Game is more about global performance. On Nielsen Squid Game had half of Wednesday's viewer in the US. While Netflix global data, Squid Game actually beat Wednesday. Larger views are still good. If only 10 people what your show with a 90% completion rate, that would be like 9 people. But if a 100 people watch your show with a 50% completion rate, that is like 50 people.
.
Then there is the data. It is incomplete data. Meaning if you don't have all of the data, you cannot draw correlation, or a trend line that easy. If they gave me two data points that is 1899 and Heartstoppers. Then I guess the hypothesis of completion rate sound very good. But then even with all the partial data I got from them, it doesn't draw that conclusion. Like would the status of renewal series better explain with the overall viewership, and with the consideration of the target goal (budget/target demographic). I see one article said it. Then articles echo each others. Then people on forums/reddits echoed each others. They assume it has to do with completion rate (in some articles) while don't have the data for it. Unlike with Nielsen and Netflix top 10 have more extensive data.

sooo I completely forgot about an assignment that is due today. I have to interview a therapist/ counselor. If anyone is willing to answer these questions I'd be so thankful.
1) On a typical day in this position, what do you do?
2) What training or education is required for this type of work?
3) What part of this job do you find most satisfying? Most challenging?
4) Based on the experience I've had so far (a few classes), what type of an internship do you think would be most useful for me in order to enter this field?
5) From your perspective, what are the challenges you see working in this field?
6) How difficult is this job emotionally?
7) What category do you/ have you specialized in?
8) What should I know before further pursuing this field?

I've been looking on indeed for months, applied to god knows how many places, and in all that time, I had one interview offer. In typical fashion, I missed the interview because they responded a month after I applied so I just assumed they were ignoring me like the rest. I began applying for UC a couple weeks ago but the amount of paper work and appointments are really trying my patience, and I haven't even began getting payments. I'm sick to death of moping around the job centre and the pub.

My first post though, becoming unemployed homeless, broken family, being suck older brother, betrayed by family members, no degree, too suck (nuerotic) to have courage to ask for jobs or helps, don't have any friend to trust or help, 12 dollars in my bank account ,thinking whether i should tell this much info for online people, but you are my last resort bro (JP community could be my last hope). Life is tragic. I laught at it sometime. I should go get simple but low honored jobs, low paid (such as being local convenient shop employee or rice carrier), but i still can't accept the fact that i have to do it and how others would judge my job and i don't even have courage to ask for even a job (fear of rejection), while my friends have nice careers and i have $12 left. I know i should compete with myself yesterday not others. It is very hard to do. Any advice? Any book to read? Any topic to study? And if i can sacrifice my old useless self (weakness) then i can defeat this dragon and get the treasure right?
P.S. (I'm in Thailand who need my service (do everything i can such as guide you through Thailand or ship goods also I can do video or photo editing. please feel free to message me.)

So, in January I was let go from my previous due to layoffs (as part of about 40% of a relatively small company).
There were slim pickings on the jobs market, but I managed to get a job, and breezed through the interview stages. Seemed like the type of place I was looking for.
I'm there slightly over a month, in that time they've let the lead product designer go, and a backend dev I was to be pairing with on a new project. Last week the CTO who brought me in has abruptly left due to some political dramas. The guy managing me wasn't involved in my hiring, and has been fairly petty and dismissive of my skills since joining, despite me having held higher positions than him and having more industry experience. But he's admitted that I'm actually quite good, as I was committing fixes on day 2.
So, am I mad to stay? It could work out, I'm not gunning for this guy's job, but he isn't liked in the org. So perhaps this was the CTOs plan eventually. Anyways, I'm concerned about my longevity here. It could be okay, or it could go downhill here fast. Thoughts?

Hi, as the title states, I'm looking at trying out an IT job.
I am currently working in Electrical Engineering, and this field isn't for me, I enjoyed my time studying Computing way more than studying/ working in Electrical Engineering.
For some background, I have an Undergrad Degree (level 5) in Computing, the aspect I liked the most is Programming, which will be my focus with this post. During my education we studied a little Python and C#, but the main language was C++.
I have been out of education for around 4 years now, but have recently been re-learning C++ after not using it for ages, and am enjoying it.
I live in a fairly small town, without masses of IT opportunities (there are some, but they don't come up too often), is it feasible to look for remote work in this field? Also, what specifically should I look at with Programming? Do I need to be proficient in various languages or can I just focus on the one?
I don't have any specific Programming field in mind, I enjoy gaming, but whether I would be any good in game development is another thing.
This might be a long, not-well-put post, but any help on this would be appreciated, it's a daunting prospect, but I don't want to keep hopping around jobs I don't enjoy.

"I am going to be 48 years old in a few weeks. I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder since I was twenty years old. Much of my life, I have met all of the criteria of this disorder, and I have had a long, hard road ahead once it dawned on me that it was true. I have a fundamental dysfunction in my personality. I cannot cope with the world because at my core, I am unable to maintain stability as a functional adult for long periods of time due to my impulsive nature and my ability to forgive and love unconditionally. I don't know how to reconcile those traits with a healthy and successful life. My relationships are 'ride or die,' with me as the enabledoormat/reactionary drama queen. I tend to date men who need constant, obsessive attention and servitude, with them being the dominant to my submissive, their ego to my down-to-earth, and they are the Narcissist to my Borderline. I don't want to romanticize like so many JokeHarley memes, but this has been the way that it has gone for far too long.
My upbringing wasn't even close to being abusive. I was the only child, and my parents stayed married. I was sheltered, with no physical or sexual abuse; both of my parents were good people who loved me. It wasn't easy; we lacked money but never love. We struggled, but there were so many things that were different than for most people, in cool ways and in ways that were not cool. But never was I considered 'normal.'
One of the challenges of being Borderline is the difficulty in being our own therapist. Not because of this new 'favorite person' misinformation, but because we struggle with justifying anything. We see very little wrong with the way we are; we just need to know how we can make others understand that it's okay that we are intense, unpredictable in a predictable way, and humanly sensitive to everything that affects us. We insert ourselves into everything so we can let it all affect us. We claim that we didn't realize that we're supposed to change because we see no problem with the way we are; it's other people who are concerned, and we are not concerned with what people think (except when we are). So why do we have to change? It's our life, the one that is unmanageable and dysfunctional, and giving us unhoused vibes. This is still our life, and it's not easy to get through that we need to act accordingly because we don't care about your self-esteem; why do you care about ours?
So, we are often pushed into admitting that we can potentially be a little bit much. We are painted into the roles of the serial killer and the horrible Narcissistic Personality Disorder twin flame that nobody trusts because we follow our hearts (and we tend to hold grudges). Our dynamics are different, but we all follow astrology. Our sign is 'complete psycho' most of the time. I have been trying to figure out how to make it so we can get along with the world and it is not our enemy...but people keep messing up the whole situation.
People with borderline personality disorder may exhibit fear of abandonment through intense and unstable relationships. They might go to great lengths to avoid real or perceived abandonment, such as clinging to others, becoming quickly and intensely attached, or displaying extreme reactions (anger, panic, or depression) when they anticipate abandonment.
Abandonment fears can lead to impulsive actions to prevent separation or worse, therefore it's important to seek professional help for a comprehensive understanding and support. Additionally, individuals with BPD may engage in frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, such as making frantic, impulsive gestures to maintain a connection, even if those actions are not in their best interest. They might experience intense feelings of emptiness when alone and may go to extremes to fill that void. These behaviors can strain relationships, making it challenging for individuals with BPD to establish and maintain stable connections with others. Therapy, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), is often recommended to help manage and address these challenges.
Patterns of instability in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refer to consistent and recurring disruptions in various aspects of a person's life. This instability typically manifests in the following areas:

1. Relationships: Individuals with BPD often experience tumultuous relationships marked by extremes of idealization and devaluation. Their attitudes and feelings toward others may change rapidly, contributing to a cycle of intense, yet unstable, interpersonal connections.
   
2. Self-Image: BPD can involve an unstable sense of self. Individuals may struggle with a fluctuating self-identity, feeling uncertain about who they are, their values, and their life goals. This instability in self-perception can lead to a lack of direction and purpose.
   
3. Emotions: Emotional instability is a hallmark of BPD. Intense and rapidly shifting emotions, such as anger, anxiety, and sadness, can be challenging to regulate. Mood swings may occur in response to external events or perceived threats to relationships.
   
4. Impulsivity: Impulsive behaviors in areas like spending, substance abuse, reckless driving, or unsafe sexual practices are common in individuals with BPD. These actions often stem from a desire to alleviate emotional distress or avoid perceived abandonment.
   

These patterns of instability can significantly impact a person's daily functioning and relationships, making it crucial for individuals with BPD to seek professional help for effective management and support. In the context of borderline personality disorder (BPD), impulsivity refers to engaging in behaviors without careful consideration of the consequences. Individuals with BPD may display impulsive actions in various areas of their lives, such as:

1. Spending: Reckless and impulsive spending, often beyond one's means, is common in individuals with BPD.
   
2. Substance Abuse: Engaging in impulsive and risky behaviors related to substance use, including alcohol and drugs.
   
3. Sexual Behavior: Unplanned and impulsive sexual encounters, sometimes without regard for potential consequences, can occur.
   
4. Reckless Driving: Impulsive and risky driving behaviors, such as speeding or dangerous maneuvers.
   
5. Self-Harm: Engaging in impulsive self-harming behaviors as a way to cope with intense emotions.
   

Impulsivity in BPD can be driven by a desire to alleviate emotional pain, boredom, or to avoid perceived abandonment. Developing coping strategies and emotional regulation skills through therapy, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), can be beneficial in managing impulsive behaviors associated with BPD.
Identity disturbance in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refers to a pervasive and unstable sense of self. Individuals with BPD may struggle with a coherent and consistent understanding of who they are, which can manifest in several ways:

1. Self-Image Fluctuations: A person with BPD may experience rapid shifts in self-perception, ranging from feeling exceptionally positive to extremely negative about themselves. This can occur within short periods.
   
2. Uncertainty About Goals and Values: Individuals with identity disturbance may have difficulty establishing and maintaining long-term goals or consistent values. They might struggle with defining their life direction and purpose.
   
3. Chameleon-Like Adaptation: Some individuals with BPD may adopt different personas or behaviors in different social situations, often as a means to fit in or avoid rejection. This can lead to a lack of stable and authentic self-expression. Intense Fear of Abandonment: The fear of abandonment can exacerbate identity issues, as individuals may shape their identity based on the perceived expectations or desires of others, leading to a lack of a stable core sense of self.
   

Addressing identity disturbance in BPD often involves therapeutic interventions, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or psychodynamic therapy. These approaches aim to help individuals explore and develop a more stable and authentic sense of self.
Dissociation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) refers to a coping mechanism where individuals disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity. This disconnection can occur as a response to stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions. Dissociative experiences in BPD may include:

1. Depersonalization: Feeling detached from oneself, as if observing from outside the body.
   
2. Derealization: Perceiving the external environment as unreal or distorted.
   
3. Amnesia: Gaps in memory, especially related to stressful events or periods of intense emotion.
   
4. Identity Confusion: Momentary lapses in awareness of one's identity or feeling unsure about who they are.
   

Dissociation serves as a way for individuals with BPD to manage distress, particularly when emotions become too overwhelming. However, it can interfere with daily functioning and contribute to difficulties in relationships. Therapy, especially approaches like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused therapy, may help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and address dissociative experiences.
Certainly, here are some examples of dissociative experiences that individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may encounter:

1. Depersonalization: Feeling as though you are watching yourself from a distance, almost like being an observer rather than an active participant in your own life.
   
2. Derealization: Perceiving the external world as strange, unreal, or distorted. You may be on a heavy trip off mushrooms and wandering around the closet park in the middle of the night feels different when you are over 40. It hits different, and you can get in a lot more trouble than experimenting teenagers. You're not holding a job long under these circumstances.
   
3. Amnesia: Having periods of time where you cannot recall significant details or events, especially those associated with heightened emotional states or trauma. If you are being sedated for trying to call the same number over and over at three am because you desperately need to move to
   
4. Identity Confusion: Brief moments of not recognizing oneself or feeling uncertain about personal identity, values, or goals. Taking in the attributes of your signiotg
   

It's important to note that dissociative experiences can vary widely among individuals, and not everyone with BPD will necessarily experience these examples. If you or someone you know is experiencing dissociation or other symptoms associated with BPD, seeking professional help from a mental health practitioner is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and support.
Suicidal ideation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) involves persistent thoughts about death, dying, or the desire to end one's life. Individuals with BPD may experience varying degrees of suicidal thoughts, ranging from fleeting notions to detailed plans. Some aspects of suicidal ideation in BPD include:

1. Frequency and Intensity: Suicidal ideation can be a chronic feature, with thoughts occurring regularly or intermittently. The intensity can range from vague thoughts to detailed plans.
   
2. Impulsivity: Individuals with BPD may be prone to impulsive behaviors, and this impulsivity can extend to suicidal acts or self-harming behaviors during periods of emotional distress.
   
3. Sense of Hopelessness: Suicidal thoughts in BPD can be linked to a pervasive sense of hopelessness, often fueled by challenges in relationships, identity, and emotional regulation.
   
4. Coping Mechanism: For some, suicidal ideation may serve as a coping mechanism, providing a perceived escape from emotional pain or a means to regain control.
   

Addressing suicidal ideation in BPD requires immediate attention from mental health professionals. Therapeutic interventions, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can be effective in helping individuals manage intense emotions and develop healthier coping strategies. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to seek help from a mental health professional or a crisis hotline immediately.
Mood swings in borderline personality disorder (BPD) are characterized by rapid and intense changes in emotional states. These fluctuations can occur in response to various triggers or even without apparent cause. Key aspects of mood swings in BPD include:

1. Intensity: Emotions can shift from one extreme to another rapidly, with individuals experiencing intense feelings of joy, anger, sadness, or anxiety.
   
2. Instability: The duration of mood swings can be brief, lasting only a few hours or days. This instability contributes to the challenge of predicting or managing emotional states.
   
3. Triggered by Interpersonal Events: Mood swings in BPD often correlate with interpersonal stressors, such as perceived rejection, criticism, or the fear of abandonment.
   
4. Impact on Relationships: The intensity and unpredictability of mood swings can strain relationships, as others may find it challenging to understand or respond to the rapidly changing emotional landscape.
   

Therapeutic approaches, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), focus on helping individuals with BPD recognize and regulate their emotions, providing skills to manage mood swings effectively.
The term "Cluster B" refers to one of the four personality disorder clusters outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Cluster B personality disorders share certain features, including dramatic, emotional, and erratic behaviors. This grouping includes the following personality disorders:

1. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Characterized by instability in relationships, self-image, and emotions, along with impulsive and self-destructive behaviors.
   
2. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Involves an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, and a lack of empathy for others.
   
3. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD): Characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, impulsivity, deceitfulness, and a lack of remorse after harming others.
   
4. Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD): Involves a need for attention, dramatic and seductive behavior, and intense emotions that may be perceived as shallow.
   

These personality disorders within Cluster B share some common traits, such as difficulties in forming and maintaining relationships, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation. However, each disorder within the cluster has distinct features and diagnostic criteria. The clustering is a way to organize and understand patterns of personality pathology for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Diagnosing borderline personality disorder (BPD) typically involves a comprehensive assessment by a mental health professional. Several tools and methods are used to gather information, including:

1. Clinical Interviews: A mental health professional conducts thorough interviews to assess the individual's symptoms, emotional experiences, and history of relationships. These interviews may involve discussions about mood, identity, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties.
   
2. Diagnostic Criteria: The assessment often involves evaluating the individual against established diagnostic criteria, such as those outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Meeting specific criteria is essential for a formal diagnosis.
   
3. Structured Interviews: Mental health professionals may use structured interviews designed to elicit specific information related to BPD symptoms. These interviews help standard ize the diagnostic process.
   
4. Self-Report Questionnaires: Individuals may be asked to complete self-report questionnaires designed to assess various aspects of personality, emotional experiences, and interpersonal functioning.
   
5. Collateral Information: Information from family members, close friends, or other relevant sources may be considered to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the individual's behavior and relationships.
   

It's important to note that a diagnosis of BPD should be made by a qualified mental health professional based on a thorough assessment. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for individuals with BPD to receive appropriate treatment and support.

I've posted on here before but here's a recap of my situation...husband is military and is gone for months at a time and we have 2 very young kids. My parents live with me so that they can help out when my husband is gone. Or at least that's what we tell everyone. My mother cannot work and my father has a job that pays less than my first job I had in college and refuses to get a better one as his job is relatively easy. At this point they mostly live with me because they can't afford to move out even though my mother is trying to make it happen. They do help me with my kids while I do chores occasionally but beyond that I don't get much help. I will spend all day doing yard work and will come inside to nothing else being done...stuff all over the living room the floor un swept and the dishes not only untouched but sometimes even more dishes. My mother has a very bizarre sleep schedule (sleeps all day, awake all night). when I ask for her help with anything during the day even just holding my youngest who contact naps so I can do some chores (which is literally the least she can do to help) she gets mad and asks like I'm doing her a huge favor and makes me feel like crap. For people who always complain about my generation being entitled they have an extreme sense of entitlement. This is my husband's and I first house that he have owned and my mom is gets offended when I call it "my house". After I spent 3 days straight building a garden in the heat by myself and spending a bunch of money on supplies and seedlings. gratitude. show my dad and said "look at my plants!" extremely excited and proud of my work. My mom immediately cut me off and said "our plants." I love my parents but I've done a lot to help them over the past few years and would appreciate a little more respect and graditude.
