Any other moms here with diagnosed postpartum depression? If so, did anyone disclose it to their employer? I feel like it has definitely affected my performance, but it’s not something I want my co-workers to know about. I’m getting treatment now, but probably won’t see improvement for 3-4 weeks.

I know a colleague who had it and went on ST disability for it. Maybe you can explore taking a LOA for it.

Hope you feel better soon!

Take care of yourself first! You don’t need to disclose it to your coworkers but you could speak with your manager if you trust him/her that you need to take a leave of absence. Perhaps a doctor’s notes would help?

Hi All,
I have a question about replicating an Alteryx model in python.

Thanks!

Should we wait it out or consult a behavior therapist?

Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

We do exercises to help her learn to pull herself up and roll her to the side to teach her how to move from back to sitting. I'm not sure how to help her. Ftm here. Anxiety!!!
