Been on welbutrin for a year for depression (triggered by pandemic induced loneliness) with mixed success.

Visiting home half-way across the world after two years and my depression is suddenly gone. Happy/surprised but also scared of going back :/

How are things going in your area now that cities have more or less dropped all mitigation measures like mask mandates and vaccine mandates?

I lost a baby at full term pregnancy (no genetic cause) and we are ready to plan for a second one. I am wanting to go through IVF because the genetic testing would rule out any bad surprises that could come later and also my husband and me are carriers for AMD. I am lost where to even start from. Would I need a referral for IVF? Will I be paying all the cost? My husband’s company has a plan but I don’t know if we would need to qualify?

What paths are there for a veterinarian who doesn’t want to perform surgery?

Any recommendations for things to help you wake up in the morning that’s not caffeine?

How do you know when to up the dose on your meds? Currently on 40 mg Vyvanse. I usually get the peak euphoria feeling (super alert) about 1 hour after i take my meds and it lasts for a couple of hours. I work late but have noticed that i spend too much time staring at the screen and keep jumping between tasks. Would upping the dose help me concentrate on one task at a time? If not how do you manage this? What tips would you have to prevent the constant back and forth between tasks? TIA

Has anyone recovered from COVID but continued to test positive? Did this mess up any travel plans for places that require a negative test? Currently COVID positive (mild symptoms thank goodness) and have a trip to Hawaii planned for Christmas. Wondering if I should try to get refunds while it’s still possible or take the chance and hope my tests come back negative by then. Would appreciate any advice!

Anyone had any luck getting leftover vaccines? Have you waited in line at a site or called ahead?

Energy during a cut... have done the bulk and cutting cycles many times but this cut seems to suck the energy out of me really quickly during a workout... anything you all do to help maintain (cont)

My husband did his semen analysis last week and his morphology came out to be low i.e. 2 (normal range 2.5 to 4). He had done it couple of times few years ago and results were great. My doctor said I should check with fertility clinic for assessment. The appointments are not available immediately. Wanted to get guidance on these results. Anyone has been in a similar boat? Are these results really scary? His motility seems to be fine. Do these results fluctuate? Hope to hear back. Thank you!

Moved from US to Europe and find the inefficiency and disorganization at agency very frustrating. Anyone else go through this? Any advice besides increased drinking?

Has anyone used a private health clinic? Looking for comprehensive health profiling for myself and possibly family members. Thanks

4+ months sober. I do zoom AA every day but this was the first time I shared as a newcomer. I have some phone numbers from the group and hoping to get a sponsor soon. I plan to be sober 1 year before I can think of doing the steps. I read Living Sober and The Big Book every day in addition to prayer and mindful meditation. But would love to chat with someone “telephone therapy” can be something like Discord or WhatsApp.

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?

Second year at lit boutique. Being asked to draft a lot of briefs from scratch. Work product is great but I take way too long. Not necessarily procrastinating. I just struggle to get a flow state. I rewrite the same sentences over and over. Constantly restructure outline. Always stop to check westlaw. I want to just power through a first draft and add cites/revise prose later. But can’t figure out. Flow state only comes when I’m backed against a wall. Currently on medication. Any other tips?

Looking for treadmill recommendations. A little detail about me:

-I will use it probably 3 times a week for shorter distance walk/runs
-used to have a peloton tread+ but returned in the recall. Absolutely loved the slat treadmill on my knees/hips
-would ideally like a woodway but $$
-need it for the most basic functions & would watch tv or take peloton / Apple fitness classes on my iPad
-it will go in a garage
-not concerned about having huge incline

Thank you for your input!

Guys

Can we expect 80% hike after 6 months in the current organization. I'm not actually planning to move out because of of hike, but because of the project which I got in which I'm not comfortable with. I'm interested to stay in the organization. But my supervisor said I have to stay in this project for atleast 5 years and HR asked to stay for atleast 2 years which I feel would loose my career.

Kindly provide a solution.

Hey managers, how do you keep company culture alive when managing a remote team?

Hi Techies,

Is it only Cognizant that is suffering from mass walkout? Or every other service company?
People who have stayed back in Cognizant, how are things now? Has the management been trying to make the culture more employee friendly or it’s the same?

I think society was told “herd immunity” but heard “herd impugnity”. That’s why we are in such a mess. We should just wore masks and kept the economy open.

I'm decently successful, but sometimes I feel so jaded about life

Ever feel the loneliest when you’re in a room full of people/hanging with a group?

Does any feel like they suppress their own positive thoughts? Like there’s a very positive development in my life that I am happy about but every time I think of how great it is, there’s a voice that tells me to stop and curb my excitement- for the fear that I will somehow jinx it or that something bad may happen. I can’t just be happy without it being accompanied by worry that I might lose something in return. Can anyone relate?

I feel so depressed about working a corporate job, anyone have any cool alternatives, I’m 26 and have enough saved up to take a risk and not work a traditional job for a year, open to any suggestions

Anyone else feel like you just can’t be upbeat anymore? Like you’ve had too many bad/unfortunate things happen and now you don’t trust anyone and feel like the world is against you? I can’t get past these thoughts and feelings lately, and now it’s impeding my work. Already seeing a therapist so I’m just looking for some advice from anyone else who has overcome this. Thanks.

How to not sweat the small stuff?? Part of the reason I’m so worn out at the end of the day is because every minor thing stresses me out. Even if something is out of my control, I always think of ways I could have done something better to have more control over the situation. My goal is to just leave work at work and unwind at the end of the day without wondering about all these minor things!

Currently in therapy every week at lunch because that’s all my therapist had available. It’s been fine when we’re work from home, but what would you say you have every week while in the office?

I am starting to wonder if I am on the autism spectrum. My daughter got diagnosed with autism, she is very high functioning. All her traits seem so similar to mine. How can I find out for sure?

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Can anyone share their experience on Effexor for depression and anxiety? I used to be on Zoloft, which worked great, except I gained so much weight and lost all libido. I’ve been on Prozac for 6 months and I feel like it hasn’t helped for my depression, and it feels worse than before and I’m fatigued all the time. My dr wants me to try Effexor next, but I haven’t really heard much about it before. Does it affect your weight and energy levels?

I want my ex back.
I'll never find someone as great as her.
Especially not with this attitude.

Put in PTO to recharge from a bad project. Manager threw me under the bus to SM claiming I didn’t provide her a coverage plan. Going into PTO feeling like shit.

desperately need to talk to someone, I’m suicidal, if anyone has a couple minutes, it would mean the world to me, I promise im being genuine…

Started a new job about a month ago at a REAALLY good firm. The overall job is very difficult and tough to learn. I’m somewhat understanding it but having a hard time, the support/training is there but at the end of the day having a hard time with trying to grasp it all. Would really appreciate any advice on organization/staying focused or trying to learn a new job and staying optimistic without looking weak.

Trust. I had three situations in the last 24 hours where things did not work out as they should or I was given wrong information. These situations were small and are definitely first world issues.

But it underlined for me how important trust is and how I feel so alone not having anyone there I know 100% I can trust them.

Everything around me is I have the fight a little or a lot for the actual truth. And that saddens me

Fell into a deep depressive suicidal hole and missed work for two days. Honestly surprised I woke up the second missed day, took a bunch of pills. Now need to face family and work. Don’t know what to do next.
What do I even say to my manager? Do I just show up and not say anything? How will this hurt my career?
My family I know it would hurt but I can be honest there at least. Plan to speak to family once I can come to terms with being alive.

im having scary thoughts everyday and desperately need someone to chat with
