Anyone have experience with acid reflux with newborn ? Either mild or severe symptoms.. would like to understand how you navigated that scenario

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

Corona Go! Go corona!

Everyone says we need to find "a cure for cancer" and YES, definitely, but there are so many different types that we need at least 50 separate cures. More complex than people give it credit for. What does everyone here think?

Anyone else going in big on pton soon? Zoom and TDOC too. Lots of 2020 high flyers on sale now - been waiting for this. 200% gain just for Pton to recover.

I have to believe this is the fate for a lot of 2021 high flyers by this time next year, but we will see.

Anyone thinking of moving out of Boston because of corona? Been here several years and it’s losing its appeal. Without travel there isn’t the same benefit of being in the NE. Looking at warmer spots...

Meds and GMAT exam performance: I feel smarter, more time-conscious and aware off meds during an exam. 3 questions: 1. Should I take meds daily to revise effectively before GMAT? 2. Should I take them during the exam itself? 3. If I shouldn’t take it during exam, when or how should I wean off of it? 2 days before etc?

Hey Toronto fish. Live in the US now but may need to move to Toronto because of visa issues. I understand there’s a lockdown now, but just how open is the city during non lockdown periods? Outdoor dining only, bars, gyms, etc? Also how much longer is this lockdown expected to last

Any advice on managing expectations? I’ve always had this dream to move to Europe for a couple years and travel the continent. The older I get the more I realize this will never happen for me. However, I see my friends doing it and it really cuts deep because I realize I can’t achieve my dreams. How do you deal with accepting things like this? It’s really taking a toll on my mental health and overall ability to be happy.

Abolish SCOTUS. Unelected perverts with life appointments dictating what freedoms we get? Nah

Apparently responding to “What’s your worst pregnancy symptom?” with “People telling me their traumatic birth stories” is an unacceptable answer.

Is it possible to lose weight with minimum workout and no extreme diets? I know I have to change my eating habits but I really don't believe that cutting carbs or sugar completely out of my life is the answer. Was planning to have green smoothies in the morning, and then lunch and dinner 50% veggies, 25% carbs and 25% protein. If I have a carby meal like pasta then the other one in the same day has to be only veggies and protein. Does this sound ok?

Anyone here have personal experience with lapband or similar weight loss procedure? I'm thinking of getting it done and wonder what the long term negatives are. Can you have it for 2 years then get it removed without a problem?

Dear Fish,

I worked out twice today on an empty stomach, then went to the airport to travel for the holidays. I’ve had two drinks and I’m very drunk🥺. How to fix?

Sincerely,
Me

A year ago I would fantasize about driving off the edge of the road into a lake and my eating disorder was so bad I was throwing up in the bathroom at work. It is amazing what a year of therapy and hard work can do.

Holidays are coming.

Any one have unique customs/traditions to share? Looking to establish our own ways of celebrating.

Anyone in Health Information Management? How is it? Pros/Cons?

I'm upping my dosage this month for the first time since I started taking medication. I've had very few side effects so far (trouble sleeping) but I'm worried with this higher dosage I'll get more of the bad along with more of the good. What do you guys use for insomnia or sleep issues while on ADHD medication? Thanks.

One thing I’ve been curious about is what makes a partner jump from one B4 to another? Is is the same reasons as everyone else (e.g: pay, politics,etc) ? I feel like people tell me not to leave at a director level because you’ll need to rebuild a network to help you get to partner, but wouldn’t direct entry partners experience something similar as they come over, like trying to get plugged into good deals vs. Crummy ones?

Am I eligible for hike if I join on August month. Whether it will be default hike or perform based hike?

Although most series are mega-productions, sometimes exceeding a cost of 30 million per episode, I dare to say Breaking Bad is one of the best series of all time with a significantly smaller budget. It's not about how much you invest, it's how you show what you do, who follows me?

Did a teladoc consultation today and got confirmed for ADHD. Was asked to go on medication given nature of job. Was told side effects are negligible after 30 years of age. Thoughts?

Baby furniture. What is everyone doing? FTM and trying to figure out if it’s worth investing in very expensive nursery furniture. We were looking at the Natart furniture collection and the Silva collections. These both come in at about $2000-$2400. The furniture is high quality and grows with the child. Alternatively I could go the lower end route at get everything for like $800. Is that wise? I hear horror stories about low quality and paint chipping from the baby teething on the crib.

Pregnant wife is having small portion meals lately, so i asked why she is eating less than usual. She read somewhere that eating too much can lead to oversized baby, making the delivery more painful, so it looks like she may be controlling the portion because of this. Is not eating enough a cause for concern?
