I'm usually very optimistic but things are not going good. Have had GERD/acid reflux for over three months. Just got diagnosed with shingles today. Have been interviewing and it's not going great. Have a bunch of on-sites soon and don't feel like giving those interviews. My stock portfolio is down 5% today. I thought I like my work but feel like I'm losing out on a lot of understanding WFH. Some senior folks who were helpful are all leaving the company. Where's the silver lining πŸ˜₯

    Cut carbs out of your diet (and red sauce as well). Carbs are a prime inducer for gastric reflux if your prone.

    Best way to get out of a negative spiral is to find some new goal that you can achieve, however small. It may be running or some fitness activity. Maybe painting. Maybe cooking or gardening. Maybe building an app. Anything that gives you a sense of accomplishment is a good boost and also helps because it will automatically take your mind off the negative things.

    Take a good vacation and focus on your well being first. Visit family when feeling better. If nothing feels right, take professional help.
