Can anyone recommend a good couples therapist in the city? I know its all about personal fit, but any leads would be helpful. Thanks.

I’m in a tricky situation that affects my mental health. I’m in a long distance relationship because I wasn’t happy in the country where I got my diploma and felt trapped. I moved to the US for better opportunities, I would say I am proud of my professional career now. However my SO doesn’t see it that way. He was resentful at first bc I left but then he understood why I did that. I wanted him to join me or build a new future together. He’s blaming me for putting my career first before him. (Con

Just discovered that I am pregnant!! So excited as it has been a long journey of infertility. Any recommendations for prenatal vitamins after getting pregnant?

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

So I’m 7 weeks 3 days and I haven’t been sick at all. I know I should count myself lucky and not worry at all because it’s normal but I can’t help myself but worry because I feel…normal? I got a handheld ultrasound at week 5 and the doctor saw the gestational sac but nothing else (which apparently is normal at 5 weeks) I have my first real ultrasound in 3 days and I’m so so so nervous. Any reassurance? Anyone else feeling this strange mixed emotions of grateful for feeling fine but also worried

Anyone else build out their home gym? Thanks to EY’s generous fitness fund (which luckily was doubled if your team was picked during the fitness challenge), I was able to build out my ideal home gym at a heavily subsidized price.

How does your office handle late patients when it's weather/road related? We had a patient show up 10 minutes late and threw a hissy fit because he had driven 40 miles on snowy roads to get there. And I felt bad, but we legitimately could not squeeze him in.

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

How to deal with quarter life crisis?

Most of us joined their first job after college with very high hopes (Like : Yeaah my job, I'mma be solving real world problems now).
Most of our jobs turned out to be not so impactful. (like rudimentary shoveling data into neat piles of PPT).
And we have to do this for life.
I can't seem to shake of the feeling completely even after almost 3 years into working.
(Normalise time to ~1.5 years due to distorted sense of time due to Covid)

What's your priority right now - gaining value/experience or getting a higher comp/better benefits/better lifestyle?
