Anyone have experience with Every Mother or Bloom method for post-partum core recovery? (Or other post-natal exercise program?) Wasn’t in great shape prior to this pregnancy so want to ease back in before going back to standard routine.

To what degree do you share your mental health issues with your team? I went through a period of depression and recently got comments back that I need to fix my attitude. Is it worth mentioning now?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I just started parental leave for 12 weeks, but a new job opportunity just came up. What do I do if I get an offer? Do I tell my boss before I come back from leave, or do I just resign on my first day back?

Is it me or do some of these diets sound like eating disorders? I do IF to help not snack before bed, but then there’s OMAD, AFD (alternate day fasting) etc. it just sounds as sophisticated starvation

Would be nice if the Government legalized marijuana (including for Feds) during this lockdown. Allegedly it is quite effective at making boring things interesting.

Full disclosure. She is deathly allergic to cats and dogs. (Yes even those man made hypoallergenic dogs) there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. You can be Allergic via eye water content, hair oil, and saliva.

I think I have a drinking problem. I go big and I go hard when I drink. I want to throw in the towel and just be a sober person but happy hours and *do I like drinking with this person* are such a big part of our industry, especially internally. How do we balance? 😔

Mental health question - I can’t stop reading the coronavirus news and my anxiety is out of control. Obviously can stop reading the news but then anxiety of missing things takes over... help

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

Is it the smart move to take a pay cut and clerk for a judge?

Little context: I was an ED student, full time paralegal/clerk throughout my law school experience, and a single mother. I did not take advantage of the law school extracurriculars and missed out on clerk application deadlines my final year (2020). Would it benefit me to take a pay cut as a transactional clerk by about $20k to work as a clerk for a year then re-enter firm life? I’m transactional and enjoy that line of work.

When it comes to therapy do I look up a place online and make an appointment or do I need some sort of referral? Not sure if I need to see a therapist or physiatrist really.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
