Hi, I am considering making an appointment with a therapist to discuss mental health, and my question is this: how do you know that your case is severe enough to warrant a therapist’s time? I’ve never been diagnosed with any mental health illnesses but I think it could be something that benefits me. A little advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Started Keto 40 days ago and jut broke the 20lb marker! Averaging 3.3 lbs/week, ~.55/day through keto and IF. Where's everyone else on their journey??

When I get mild anxiety during a conversation I press my thumb agains one of my other fingers and it helps me relax a bit. Does anybody else do this? 😭

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

What all vaccinations are you suposed to give your kid?

Thoughts on the Keto diet?

My manager feeds me 100 chole bhature & then my tummy hurts so I ask her to give me a leave but then she declines my request and feeds me 1 more plate of chole bhature then I die because of excess gas formation inside my stomach, then I poop & become alive once again then my boss notices that im alive again and feeds me 109 plates of kadi chawal and this goes on and on and on and on

How do you keep yourself motivated when you’re so unhappy at your company and it’s affecting your physical, mental, and emotional health? I cannot do this anymore. I’m so miserable.

Do you find working remotely during this time that you’re having a harder time staying on top of everything that’s going on? With the scattered communication and a boss who hasn’t been as focused and can be hard to pin down, I sometimes think I’m giving 150% but something ends up lagging and I’m just wiped out. What are some of your tactics to avoid missed items and stay active and on top of everything through the Covid funk?

Attended a few Disco Dining events last year. They’re sporadic but interesting.

Anyone else think you're better off going to a restaurant than a grocery store? Went out for dinner the other night and there wasn't a soul in the place. No waiting either. e10 DT gets a thumbs up

Hi!

Today I read the op-ed in LA Weekly by the Preux and Proper owner, Josh Kopel. When this group started, it was a dream of mine to meet you while enjoying a drink or a meal and build a community of people who enjoy the city and wanted to explore its food. It’s surreal to think that we have been in lockdown for this long. I know many restaurants may be struggling and if you have a favorite, a local gem, please share with us.

Best Viet/pho spots? I had found my own gem before moving from SF Bay area, but now need a new watering hole. Only place I have been is Little Sister. Very good but not sure pho is their specialty

Hi! Sharing this bowl in a few threads to gain some interest.

The Burrow in DTLA makes a stellar sandwich. One of the few places I've seen that imports jamon iberico. Very cool lounge, tucked away in a basement with no cell service, to enjoy a drink in peace at.

Ciao! I am interested in creating a supper club in LA where people can meet and interact through the love for food. Interested? More info on IG as raguandmosh

Anyone know of K bbq “happy hours” or other cheap but good bbq options in Ktown +/- 1 neighborhood? They have them in The Bay but want to find one here.
