My partner is a lawyer with ADHD, diagnosed as an adult, and about eight years into our 11 year relationship. We're working on him articulating how his brain works, and I want understand his experience as best I can.

Idk what to do anymore. A few years back I struggled with gambling addiction and put myself in so much debt and never told anyone. Fast forward I have a gf who thinks I’m successfully but I am drowning in debt still that I truly don’t know how I’ll get out of. Can’t keep up with bills and put this front up much longer. Absolutely miserable

How do you all take care of things outside of work? The last thing I want to do after being hyper-organized at work is figuring out my budget or retirement plan or scrubbing the bathtub or figuring out what to buy at the grocery or planning a vacation. I feel so burnt out I can only just sleep on weekends and can’t bring myself to go out or even do basic self care. I feel bad putting this all on my husband and how would I even have the energy to raise kids??

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?

How do you all schedule IEPs with parents ? Do you figure out what days you/admin/ subs are holding them, then send out the “time” you expect parents to show, or do you contact them and ask what days/ time blocks work for them?
At times,I feel it’s rude to just tell them a time, but some parents get so entitled-don’t want to use THEIR sick/vacay time to attend during school hours. SoTired of overtime as a SPED writing/holding ieps after contract hours though.What works best for you all?

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak. However, I’ve seen her response and mannerisms change (positively) in the presence of parents and siblings which leads me to believe that she is cognizant enough to possibly use a communication device. However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?

What is the best way to encourage kids still in school to pursue accounting? I'm talking like Sophomores/Juniors/Seniors in high school and maybe first-year of college kids.

Spouse is a state department employee and currently overseas. I’m a manager with three years of experience in consulting and 8 years of experience in the military where I left as a O-3 (GS-12 equivalent). SO wants me to take a non-negotiable family member hire role at the embassy overseas for one year so we can co-locate. Job sounds interesting, but is a non-negotiable GS-6 equivalent. Family life would be great but am I derailing my career permanently? Can I explain this in the future?

Hi Fishes,
How do you cope up with impostor syndrome when it comes to coding skills? There are many less experienced Devs who are solid on coding , and getting interviewed by them, sometimes I observe they know so much more. Even if I make it through that round, and learn new things, this constant anxiety of not being good enough does not go away. Anyone else faces this too?

I interviewed for an L6 Sr program manager role and was offered an L5 program manager position at amazon. I have 5 YEO and a masters. I saw the L5 role only asks for 2 YEO. TC for the L5 is slightly more than I make now. Would accepting this be a good long term move? Would I be taking a step backwards?

Buying a luxury watch for the first time, are there any recommended stores I could order online from? Maybe stores that can offer discounts as well. Thank you.

Why do ADs even entertain the possibility of you getting a call for a SS sports watch (for ex: submariner/GMT BLNR) without any purchase history? Stopped into Wempe for the hell of it and the saleswoman talked it up as if it’s even a possibility and whether I would prefer the “green color” lol. Truly don’t understand this when she and I know both know very well that I’ll never be getting a call.

My husband said he would buy me a Rolex as a “push present” for our first child. I would want just a classic, timeless (no pun intended) looking ladies Rolex watch that I can wear for many years to come. Suggestions on a style?

How to deal with change? 1 year out of college and living with 3 of my best friends, just talked about living together for next year but they are all moving to new cities. Another friend is moving to my city so I’ll be living with them but I can’t help but feel a little lonely/like a huge stage of my life is over. Any tips for dealing with this change? I guess I also feel a little guilty because I’m pretty covid conservative so I’ve turned down social outings this past year because of that.

Any female 🐠 have tips for getting ready after a morning workout?

I work out every day, typically between 30-70 minutes (sometimes even 2-a-days) mixing in cardio/weight training/hybrid and have been doing so for the past 3 years consistently. Additionally, I eat minimal/no gluten (sensitivity) and absolutely no dairy (allergy) yet can’t seem to lose weight. Granted, with my clothes on, I feel like I look fine, but feel as if something is missing. Any advice or am I being too hard on myself ?

TMI question but here goes - I eat a high fiber, veggie focused diet. I’ve suspected that I may have IBS surrounding cruciferous vegetables but I ignore it because I enjoy the taste of them and know they’re good for me, even if it causes me a lot of pain, gas, and bloating. The only issue now is I’m finding that I’m constipated way more often… I could definitely stand to drink more water but I’d think with a high fiber diet I wouldn’t have this problem. Is this IBS related? Any advice?
