[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The crisis began career-related, questioning/dissatisfaction new job and has resulted in significant anxiety/upset/regret about past career decisions and future potential. This bit, which was more like a week of disappointment/minor depression, was compounded exponentially by an incredibly damaging way of dealing with that anxiety. All came crashing down one day, hence the scary messages. Now there is both the career anxiety and the damage from attempted distraction.

Apparently the depth of despair is a one-time, never happened before thing. The coping mechanism for dealing with the anxiety, however, has been an on going problem. [/quote]

You could have said tthis in the beginning when people asked rather than saying you didn't want to post details.  This is essentially the detail people asked about.  Nobody is being nosy, you ask for help and then are vague to the point of trying to leave out gender.  It's a little annoying.  I disagree with a PP, I don't think you sound all that nice.

How can you not know someone you dated for several months?  He/she basically showed you what they wanted.  I think you come across as rather difficult.[/quote]

OP here. I'm not interested in comment on my character, either positive or negative, especially since you have absolutely no way of knowing anything about my character from this post. But if you feel better for having torn down a stranger you know nothing about on the internet today, then congratulations. If it has made you feel better today, then I'm happy to be the whipping post.

I have been reluctant to post details, as they would be easily identifiable for anyone who knew the situation. I'm regretting even posting this amount of detail and unsure how it changes anything I asked for advice on. I'm not asking for relationship advice, I am simply asking how I could best be supportive to this person and if support was even appropriate in such a new relationship. Thank you, though, for still not offering any helpful insight. [/quote]

Some people aren't happy with their life and misery loves company. Just shrug off the haters and ignore the posts. You be you. Were I your friend, I would appreciation the discretion.[/quote]
