I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her.

I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 
Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily.
Love does not remember wrongs done against it.  
Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth.  
Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. 
Love will never end.
Humbled, convicted, but thankful. Our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit love us this way!

DMV employers with reasonable hiring programs- What large employers in the area who hire mid-senior level tech-adjacent consulting talent have the most reasonable hiring practices? A friend of mine tried to refer me to a job and their recruiter told me to expect anywhere from 4-9 rounds of interviews before a decision is made. F that! Please share your own experiences- what employers do this, and which ones recognize there comes a time when you’re just wasting the time of your potential recruits

I’m moving to the DC area for a new job and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on where to live in DC (neighborhoods and apartment buildings if possible). I’m thinking Adams Morgan or Logan circle, but open to suggestions. I’m a female in my late 20s, enjoy going out for a few drinks / dinner, working out, hiking etc. Budget is less than $2k per month and I’ll have to commute to Amazon in Crystal City ~3 days per week.

What're people doing these days? I just moved to Reston and am working from home so feel like I'm completely disconnected from what's happening in the city.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating!
