Thanks I’m actually on metropol! (sp?) Similar drug for similar effects I think

Hey guys this probably isn’t the right place, but I’m new to mental health issues. About two weeks ago I started having crippling anxiety attacks, mostly at or right after work. I do intl logistics for my company so I’ve had a pulse on all this bullshit from the getgo.

At the same time I started having blood pressure issues, and the combination has a vicious feedback loop of anxiety > elevated heart issues > anxiety etc.

My doctor gave me 30 Xanax (and a plethora of heart meds), I’ve looked up self help type stuff to help with the anxiety… Mindfulness, breathing exercises, etc. Daily walks and exercise help the most but I feel so out of control of my emotions I don’t really know what to do anymore.

Should I talk to my GP and get on something long term? Therapist? Keep trying self help?

I’m 38 and otherwise healthy, no depression, slightly overweight but physically active and eating healthy. I stopped all my vices (nicotine, alcohol, most weed I still take edibles CBD) and I don’t know how to cope without being self destructive.

If anyone else is going through this and getting traction just let me know your experience I guess. I don’t know anyone irl as affected as me so I mainly just want validation I’m not alone and there’s a path forward.

Nah just stupid number formatting, my UPCs regularly turn into scientific notation or my UOM automatically convert to a string =“12” which ruins math operations so first I have to make a helper column =NUMBERVALUE([@UOM]).

Or being unable to convert datetime to a simple date for date calculations without loading the table into power query and transforming it there. You can change the format into short date but if the actual value is datetime it will still throw an error but now the type issue is hidden, so have fun reading docs and troubleshooting until you realize your mistake :)

Yeah if its something ad hoc I’ll paste values but for sheets meant to be maintained I’ll do it in PQ through merges or calculated columns. Lookups get the job done but they are expensive ;)

Damn you just described my role but everything happened within a span of 3 years

Xlookup works fine for like 90% of cases, I save index match mainly for when I need to return multiple lookup values. In which case I load into BI because I always forget how index match works 😫

Anything in Chicago

I’m with you SatansMaggotyCumFart

My go-to bully defense is making fun of their name, it’s so innocuous and not profane, yet it still stings and makes people wonder if they do have a stupid name :)

Freddie certainly has a type.

Guys, everything will be more expensive. Even domestic made goods will be marked up because no one will notice because almost everything else will be more expensive. Greed.

Beautiful view too, whereabouts in the world if you don’t mind me asking?

I did this for a while but my boss said it looked bad that I leave before everyone else and wasn’t fair to customer-facing peers that had to be there certain hours…

I’m with that guy, I get out of work at a set time I like to have some daylight after work. Doesn’t matter what time I wake up, I don’t wanna do things before work I just like to see the sun after work it gives me something to look forward to.

Yeah if you’re out of shape just go for some walks. I have a dog so I have to take 3 walks a day. I could just take her to a patch of grass but she needs exercise too so I at least take her around the neighborhood.

All that to say, those little walks are sometimes the only part of the day where I can think and process my thoughts. I highly recommend going without headphones for that reason.

I think this would only bother the most insecure folks, I’m all for it.

Probably instinct from having to survive elementary school.

Anyone seen it lately? I can’t decide if I’d think it’s funny or just get depressed.

Muzak :)
