Anyone have issues with dizzy spells after sitting for a long time at your desk? My research suggests this is related to low blood pressure. Curious if anyone has dealt with this.

Echo and nuclear leaders and techs: is your facility 1) requiring COVID testing before exercise stress testing, 2) wear N95 and PPE, or 3) both testing and PPE?
Our clinic is removing the cost barrier of testing but staff are worried about risks since echo rooms don’t have HEPA or negative pressure systems and patients are allowed to remove their masks while running and breathing heavy during image acquisition.
Have you had good / bad experience with lack of Covid testing before stresses?

Doe's anyone else miss Covid pay👀🤷🏾‍♂️

I was in a very bad shape last year (major anxiety episodes, OCD flares, panic attacks) and now I'm MUCH better. I feel like one thing that helped through it was for the first time in my life opening myself to experience my spiritual side (not talking religion here).

I feel like now that i feel better overall, I'm disregarding that part of me but wishing i still had that drive to feed my spiritual self. Any ideas on how to bring it back to my life in a way that doesn't really feel forced?

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

What are some good things to drink besides water? I have PCOS so I need to drop added sugar from my drink choices.

What has your experience been with the Calm app? Would you recommend the paid subscription? Plan to use it for managing anxiety but looks like they also cover relationships, self esteem etc.

Hi! Does anyone have any pet insurance recs? My dog is 3 yo, healthy, small chihuahua/Boston terrier mix. He’s had surgery on one of his legs and now has a plate in there that the doctors say might bother him when he gets older. But not an issue for the foreseeable future. I’m looking for insurance that’ll cover routine checkups, bloodwork, other basics as well as in case of emergencies—surgeries, etc. TYIA!

Looking for purchase health insurance for business. Has anyone bought health insurance through their solo practice as a corporation. Any recommendations as to who to use. Small firm 1-5

If you use company insurance for therapy, does your company know you’re in therapy?

Hi, just joined this bowl! I have an AH and things have gotten pretty serious this year. He started on and off with recovery always asking my help to try 30 days sober which I do to support but he consistently fail and avoids AA. I have been doing Al-Anon and it’s very helpful. I relate in most stories, but sometimes I feel so different from the people there (mid class religious housewife vs me an LGBT atheist consulting from CA). Does anyone have a meeting to recommend or has been in my shoes?

Feeling tired and also eating more from being sedentary at my laptop all day. I realize that I have so much more energy AND eat less when I am out and about on the weekend/vacation. Any tips to not fight this set back 5/7ths of the week?

Curious to hear others’ stories about the positive changes they experienced (mentally and physically) after they quit drinking....I am thinking about quitting again - mainly to improve my mental and physical state.

NOT Preaching Alert🚨 but folks on work visa in US, I know its very confusing and uncertain environment that’s increasing our anxiety everyday BUT remember that when you came here you didn’t have anything and most likely have earned/learned so much in terms of education, experience, cultural values, and money ofcourse that it must have prepared you for other options if things don’t work out here. Don’t lose heart and take one day at a time. You got this! We will survive.

Going on a shoot for a week out of town, and sharing a house with my colleagues.

One of my direct reports wants to bring his wife along for the week (strange already, given we are only home to sleep as we're on set for about 12 hours), and is going as far as implying she might come on set because she doesn't want to be alone.

I'm totally understanding of separation anxiety etc, but is her attending the set a bit too far?

Anyone try the training app Trainiac?
I like it enough but want to know others experiences with it. Figure out is all about the trainer you get matched with.

Idk if i can do another 5 weeks of this. I'm dying.

This allergy season has been brutal! Most of my patients aren't sure if it's COVID or just bad allergies!

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.

80 C includes PF and VPF
In ADP portal, however, I don't see any option that says how much of 1.5Lacs is filled up by pf/vpf. I get options to include elss, ppf, HRA etc etc.

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?

Here’s a dumb question 😬 I finally bought an under the desk treadmill (and am loving it!). I don’t like to wear my shoes inside the apartment so I’ve been using it barefoot but not sure if this is ideal? I thought about getting the “grippy” socks that are used for reformer Pilates but not sure if that’s good either. How is everyone else using their indoor/under the desk treadmills at home?

Dating: so I haven’t dated in YEARS. And I’ve allowed myself to be so comfortable with my own company that I forgot how to date and not overthink everything. So I’ve gone on 2 dates with this girl (btw I’m a lesbian) and they both went well. Kissed on 2nd date which I also thought went well. I would imagine if she’s open to a 3rd date then all is good?
