Best self-care tips for dealing with loneliness/sadness this time of year? This is my first Christmas without my mom and it just feels like nothing will ever be the same again 😭. If you’ve lost a parent can you give me advice on getting through the holidays? Being a parentalish figure to my students is both healing and heartbreaking.

Started this bowl because I unexpectedly lost a parent years ago and it still affects me to this day. Wanted to create a safe space, ie a group where people who are going through similar experiences can vent and realize you’re not alone (: welcome to the party!

I have become frustrated with the profession (no discipline, labeling every student for something, students not prepared for grade level content, parents who don't really parent). Anyone with me?

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.

We got along great and the physical chemistry was still there. So what could be missing????

Moved to the DC area about two years ago and have yet to establish myself friendwise. I usually tag along with my partner to all of his events as I’m traveling 5 days a week and have no forum. Any...

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.

Have any of you decided to not have kids ever? How has that conversation gone down with your SO? Have you regretted that decision (for those who are older)?

My daughter had tears streaming down here eyes this morning as she begged me not to go to work. I'm heartbroken. The weekend can't come soon enough.

My partner (male) doesn’t know how to cook and I find it utterly infuriating. I’ve tried coaching him, have micromanaged him in the kitchen, watched him ruin countless expensive steaks. Contd...

I’m fixing taxes for 3 states, should I get help from an agent or use one of the tax softwares like turbo tax or sprintax?

Marital counselling, mental health and therapy (through certified professionals) has been a taboo everywhere, but this is especially true amongst desis - be it in India or desis abroad. However, I’m curious to know how effective or useful it has been for people who have ACTUALLY gone through counselling when going through marital issues, for example. There are many comments recommending it, but are people speaking from personal experience or because it’s been popularised in web series/movies/TV?

How do y’ll save money on taxes? Other than obvious routes like 401k.

Anyone here has used Saregama Carvaan and comment on if the product is good? Looks perfect and I am thinking of gifting one to my parents.
