Anyone else feeling like they are past their prime and just don’t matter anymore? Like I could vanish and it may take weeks before anyone realized I was missing (and yes, I realize hormones are making this happen),

Does any one have any advice on how to deal with lack of focus and concentration? I’d prefer a non-medicated method. I’ve just started noticing it in the last 6 months but it’s getting worse everyday

Any recommendations for a therapist that understands high stress/high demand professions, and whose recommendations don’t include “just turn off of your phone or try not responding to emails”? Bonus points if they understand ADHD as well.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

I feel so bad. Almost 30..pcos/no ovulation/high testost/anovulatory/cysts. Lean but unhealthy. I’m talking low iron (14 I found out today),low all vitamins, prediabetic..phew! Taking metformin and progesterone to start my period again 🤓 It’s no wonder I’m not under the earth but self-care is so important. Hoping for 👶🏽 results with my RE once she helps me get my act together 🥺

Any recs for good gyms around South End or Back Bay? I’m a 27F, looking to get back into lifting but also I want options for personal training.

How do you know when it’s time to get help? I’ve never seen a mental health professional but I just don’t feel like myself lately, a lot of which I think is attributed to quarantine.

My mental health has suffered tremendously over the past month. I have a therapist that I probably should see more of but I’m jobless and need to save. I am an aspiring entrepreneur with an inspiring business idea (to me lol) but my anxiety and depression is hindering me severely… fuck my brain. Any other founders here? It’s f‘ing tough.

so turns out BLR office peeps are spreading covid to fellow coworkers… leadership plz send help

How many times have you passed out with your scrubs on?

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain. Since I do work long hours Monday- Wednesday (10hr +) I’m trying find a comfortable chair to switch to. Any recommendations? Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

Anyone have lemonade pet insurance? I’m confused by it, it says if I pay 18ish a month more, it covers vaccines, heart worm test, blood test etc but only up to a certain amount. So is it not 80% of my bill? Is another insurance company easier haha

Hi. Has anyone gone through drug test with GSK and know if they test for nicotine? Thank you!

Masks at open houses?

With flu season (and COVID season?) just around the corner, I’m thinking of asking buyers to mask up at showings. Good idea or am I going overboard?

Anyone on straterra? Starting week 4 on it and have not noticed much, but I have zero appreciate and have food aversions. Would be interested to know how people deal with this / if it actually helped? I know it takes some time to see the effects,

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.

Does anyone have experience or know of someone who went on a FWA (part-time) but didn't have kids? I'm unmarried and no kids but considering a move to 30 or so hrs/week for my sanity.

Applying to Creative Agencies and it got me thinking-

Do recruiters or hiring managers care if you provide an "optional" cover letter? Do they even look at these?

Cleveland job opportunities?

I am a new joinee to CTS . It's going to be a month now and I haven't received my laptop.

I gave one interview for a project and was selected. They assigned me allocation but haven't reached out to me after that.

I am not sure whom to reach out to for any query and to some people whom reached they don't respond with any answer .

What can I do to get a working project as i don't want to sit idle?

I'm going to be teaching my first class when I finish school in January and I'm nervous. Any advice for my first day at school? Or what you wish you knew on your first day? It's my first real teaching job (1st grade) and I really want to do well.

Kyndryl Or Atos??

Kyndryl is offering 2 lakh more for Microsoft Technologies SME role

I had first round With Kyndryl to understand my role and work and they mentioned they will arrange for second round in week or so.
It has been 25 days , HR keeps calling once in 10 days that yes we are arranging for second round bla bla bla as panel is not available.

Any suggestions??
Might be they are interviewing other candidates?

Anyone else done menopause completely natural?

Anyone ever take a biotin or hair supplement to combat thinning hair. Would love ideas.

Hi ladies- i am 45 and pretty healthy- I am on my second irregular cycle! ughh- is this how it all starts? Wonderinf if i need to make a dr appt? do they just tell u yes its perimenopause and send u home? Otherwise, no issues with irregular cycles, cramps, hot flashes etc.

It’s in the middle of the night so the perfect opportunity to share my story. I was diagnosed with MSH6 Lynch Syndrome in 2017. In order to be proactive I decided to get a full hysterectomy 3 years ago. Because of this I was forced into surgical menopause. I started on Estradiol patches for awhile then moved to a topical cream now am on the pills. Initially Premarin but due to increasing prices I’m back on Estradiol. I don’t sleep very well, still get hot flashes, and experience highs & lows.

Anyone have any ideas for our next speaker? I was thinking nutritionalist or dietician. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…

Hello Everyone!!
Happy Friday!
I wanted to let you know we are having a beginner meditation session next Tuesday Feb 9th from 8:30 - 9 PM EST.
You should see a reminder on Monday.
I’m very much looking forward to this event! If anyone else wants to volunteer to lead these mindful sessions please let me know as I’d love to make this a regular occurrence.

Anyone hav solutions for peri-menopause induced hair thinning? My gosh my hair volume must be 1/3 less than it was 15 years ago! 😢

Okay — diets & weight loss. What have you seen that actually works? I exercise almost daily but realize my portions and food intake aren’t perfect. I do not want to track cals or macros as that caused me to have an eating disorder. I have an OCD personality.

Good Morning All!
I’ve been having some mental issues lately and have no idea if it’s due to my HRT.
If I take .75 of estradiol I still have hot flashes. If I take 1.0 I feel either numb or depressed constantly.
I feel like I’m bearing this battle alone as my Physician’s seem like experimenting with dosing is my only option.
I’ve also consistently done intermittent fasting for two weeks, exercise 5x per week, and am eating better all to lose a whopping .5 lbs. SMH

I keep forgetting to ask about this but I noticed ever since my hysterectomy years ago I have arthritis (I think) in my fingers. Basically I can’t open things that I easily could before like jars, caps, and even ziploc bags. Has anyone else experienced this? Basically your hands and fingers feeling weaker, numb, painful or just not working? Any way to combat this? TIA 🐟

My spouse is in better shape and is healthier than me. Can anyone relate? Does this bother anyone? I’ve tried so hard to look better but my emotional toll is working overtime. I weigh more than my husband by 10 lbs.

Question about health insurance. Since some of us are at the age of more preventives, such as colonoscopies and mammograms, are PPO plans the best option? Does anyone have an HSA? Do you recommend it? Yes or no? Thanks!!

Where do those of you over 50 shop for clothes? I don’t need to wear suits as stylish business casual will do. Cardigans make me feel and look old. I need to cover some ankle tattoos when it comes to pants/dresses…. My fellow c-suite colleagues are not as tattoo welcoming as I have been

Ladies at what age did you decide to allow your hair be natural? As far as color, style, etc? What was your reasoning to stop dying it either on your own or having it done professionally? I think I’m slowly getting to the point of seeing how I look with grays. I’ve dyed my hair for over 20 years. When the pandemic hit I started using Overtone at home. I don’t know if it’s bad I’m caring less about my appearance.

Just venting - In my 50 and tired of monthly periods with no end in sight. According to blood/hormone tests I’m pre/peri menopause. I hate the drier skin, hormone changes, thinning hair and weight gain (no matter how I adjust my diet and exercise the scale will not budge). Fortunately the one symptom I don’t have is hot flashes. Sigh. Does this get better at any point?

Has anyone here had success with intermittent fasting? I feel like it’s easy to incorporate during the week since mornings are chaotic. The weekends are a different story!!

I run 3x per week and started having left knee pain. Got an X-ray and it turns out I have mild arthritis in both knees. Has anyone else been diagnosed? What are your remedies? I got an inflammatory and hope it provides some relief!

Hello!! I was able to secure a speaker in February who specializes in Menopause and HRT! I know it’s far in the future but I told her I’d work with what is best for her schedule. I don’t know any nutritionists but will put out some feelers to see if we can secure a speaker in January. I wish you all a Happy Holidays and thank you for taking this journey with me!!
