Anyone have any experience in coping with someone’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder? It’s my mother, and this has psychologically devastated me all my life, but I don’t know whether to keep trying or cut her out.

Anyone else experiencing parents who feel entitled to just go straight to super about things without talking to you first or to include them in an email?

It’s my birthday in a few minutes. 2021 has been a terrible year for me. My marriage ended. It wasn’t a bad end though. We are still close, just not romantic partners anymore. The very first dog I ever had died and I couldn’t go see her because of the quarantine. I didn’t get a promotion that I more than deserved. I don’t think I get paid well. Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.

Anyone noticed that with aerobic / cardio exercises it gets more difficult to focus? It is like my mind a TV and someone else gets the remote and goes through every channel every 30 seconds or so

Did you/would you get booster during pregnancy?

Damn, I gained probably 10-15 pounds since traveling M-F this past month.... So fat I hate sitting down working thinking about how fat I am. I'm not even that fat but my clothes getting tight

Got so comfortable with being on my own that I really think I will die alone.

I am shocked at how many people are unwilling to wear a mask. Are people really that selfish?

Hi- in conversation to make a move, but curious what the total package looks like for an experienced associate? (PTO days, 401K and pension?) Also, is there a paternity leave program? Thanks!

2020 and this first full week of 2021 were the pushes I needed to finally get a therapist. How are y'all holding up?

I accepted a FADP offer but I have lifelong crippling anxiety It leads to (TMI) diarrhea, I can’t sleep at night, among a lot of other issues. I see a therapist and have their support in school accom. I appear high functioning and ever since uni went remote my life and performance has only improved. I know I’m capable of getting the work done and they must see potential if they hired me. But I feel that if I ask for WFH or other accom. I’m gonna be shooting myself and my career in the foot.

I’m about a month post FET, and after a positive beta I was feeling all of the classic symptoms (like nausea) from like week 5-6. But, this last week the nausea has significantly subsided (though not completely gone). Has this happened to anyone? We have our first ultrasound in a week - so nervous!

Botox recommendations anyone?

Does anyone else feel like Chicago has basically given up on masks? I try to take a walk every day to break up the wfh monotony and see masks on less than half of fellow pedestrians.

Stay safe fellow fishes. It's looking dangerous in some areas.

If anyone he has done extensive laser hair removal (I’m talking full body), how much did your treatments cost and was it worth it? I’ve always considered it but now that I’m in my mid-20s and 1. just don’t care about body hair as much as I used to and 2. am no longer showing as much skin as I did when I was younger and did sports that required it, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending all that money.

Leaving PwC. What should I make sure to do before giving notice and during 2 weeks. All advice appreciated! Work in tax

Our company is shopping around for anti-virus and anti-malware solutions, and encountering companies who “will not redline.” We’ve tried 3 vendors, and the only one who redlined quoted 5x what others have quoted. Some of it has to do with how the biz team is presenting, but has anyone else run into this? I’ve not seen another industry where an outright refusal to redline exists, let alone one where negotiating legal terms costs 5x!

I’m on an estrogen patch and I feel like it’s making me really sad. Has this happened to anyone else?

Can all technicians share if you're registered or certified and how much you're currently making? (Hospital, retail, independent, etc.) I'm transferring from retail where I'm underpaid to a Hospital trainee position and I don't know the pay range or what I should ask for. I'm registered already and this position requires it within 1yr. But I applied because I don't have Hospital experience. I want my compensation to reflect I'm already registered.

Hey y’all. I went through an exceptionally traumatizing experience a few years ago that has totally & utterly shattered my confidence, self worth, self esteem etc. I have a hard time portraying my work experience + deserving of a new role.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?

Have you felt like the industry (including job searching) left you contempt or jaded to the point, you’ve started turning into a nihilist?
