Anyone have any experience of beginning to take an ssri for anxiety/depression and the initial 5-6 days anxiety levels being through the roof and the inability to sleep. I started taking 50 mg of Zoloft (this is my third try at an ssri) on Monday and I’ve probably slept a total of 10 hrs since then due to it. My body has always been sensitive to medication so possibly that’s it - do I lower dose to 25 or just say screw it as I don’t know if my body/brain is taking a liking to this kind of medic

Thoughts on supplements like MCT oil, exogenous ketones, etc? Worth it? Recommendations?

What to do for a spouse who is struggling emotionally but refuses to get professional help?
I’m 17 weeks pregnant with our first. My husband is really struggling with emotional/ mental health. I’ve asked him to consider counseling or other medical alternatives. Instead, he wants to talk to me until 11:30 pm or 12 am at night. I want to be there for him but I can’t. I’m tired. I’m still working VERY full time, and I was just diagnosed with early onset preeclampsia 😫

I'm starting to believe my caffeine addiction is affecting me. After an hour of working today, my hand started shaking!

Big law. I liked it because it provided the panic-like environment that keeps me motivated enough to do work, but I’m struggling because being in a constant state of panic is extremely exhausting physically and mentally. But I’m having a hard time getting motivated if there is no fire drill. Anyone found anything on that has helped?

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either. I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

Hi folks,
Any good psychiatrist or physician in the DC area who specialize in ADHD diagnosis and treatment in adults?

Does anyone work in industrial automation? I work as a director and my base is 160k in a MCOL/HCOL. TC is typically going to be a bit over 200k, depending on sales.

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

If a guy stopped responding to me mid convo, would it be okay to maybe message him again in a month or so? Don’t want to double message as I don’t know him that well

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Who's in the wrong

I want to do an MBA in the next 2 years. I’m currently up for Senior consultant promotion but I don’t think I can make good money in consulting till I become Partner. My boyfriend isn’t supportive of this decision. He believes it will alter our plans (marriage, children etc). He also thinks immigration will be a big hassle since I’ve already used my 3 years of OPT. What should I do?

My old side piece and I have been over for a minute now. It was fun until we fell for each other. We are both 'happy'in our current relationships. We took a break from talking, it seemed like we were both still sensitive about the past and still have love for each other. Recently, he reached out and voiced that he wants to talk more. He video chat me, and now texts frequently. But he only texts when he's at work or in his car, when his girlfriend isn't around. Does this mean anything?

Have started going on dates with a guy. Our dates don’t seem to be consistent. One date is great and the next date is just ok. Is this normal?

Hi all,

Assistant Brand Manager at a medium-sized CPG in the Midwest. I work on the largest brand at the company, which is a category leader. Next role is Brand Manager (we don’t do senior ABM). Been with the company and in the role 2+ years. Previously worked in market research and analytics for 6 years. They’ve been very happy with my work in this role. What salary and bonus % should I expect at the next level? Thoughts on asking for more with a promo? Currently at almost 100 with 12.5%. Thx!

Does peloton only work on your lower body? I like running and going for walks etc and am conflicted between getting a peloton vs joining a gym. Cause I live in NYC I walk quite a bit and my lower body is pretty toned but would love to have more definition/strength in my arms, stomach. Thinking of getting a peloton will be pointless for my arms/upper body since that’s what I’d like to focus on. Advice?

I can barely sleep, average sleep hours- 4-5 max, with only 18-20% deep sleep. Am I gonna die soon?😂😂

I am realising that “being happy at work” is a myth, and the whole love what you do stuff is also BS. Novelty wears off eventually. I guess job/work is something I’ll have to do if I want to be able to afford the luxuries of life and I’ll need to find happiness elsewhere. Does anyone else feel the same way? I don’t want to be negative but I feel I need to change something somewhere.

I'm 30 and have spent most of my life studying and working hard for the career I have now. I am where I wanted to be at my age, but why don't I feel purpose or fulfillment? I try to appreciate the small things on a daily basis and remind myself how lucky I am to be in my position. I just can't over this small voice in my head that's saying there has to be more to life than this. Anyone else feeling the same?

Just started Prozac a week ago. Do the side effects diminish? If so, when....any first hand experience?

This is going to be tough one folks: I’ve been diagnosed with a terminal illness with very uncertain odds of me beating it. That is not the problem I need advice with. I have been dating a great cont.

My mom thinks that I’m slowly going insane and wants to me go home and take a year break from work. I hate my job but I still take it way seriously than I should. Like if a client questions my results during a meeting, I get nauseous sometimes throw up after. Depression and anxiety can keep me up for weeks. Has anyone taken a break before? What did you do/ what do you suggest me to do? Not the best time to take a break (covid) but my insanity is on the line. Def switching jobs regardless

Why does getting let go feel like dying? I was so angry earlier at having gotten the news about being let go after 2 years and now it feels like I’m being crushed from the inside out.

I think my partner is making my eating disorder worse. It seems like he is very conscious of weight or at least looks, and I feel like he often tries to deter me from eating (like if I mention a late lunch he'll reply that we're having dinner soon so to hold off). I'm not sure if he is even aware of it, but he knows about my issues so it makes me wonder. My ED also runs rampant so it could be all in my head. Does anyone have experience dealing with this? I want to say something but not sure how.

Feel quite behind in life. Currently Big 4 Manager and just completed Masters of Data Science.

Have friends who left early to do their M7 MBAs and are now making double my salary (PE, Tech, MBB). Also have undergrad friends who also make double.
