Can someone not on your health plan leverage Accenture’s talkspace benefit? My partner is going through a tough time and I want them to utilize this benefit (it would help me focus better as well)

My psychiatrist recommended for me to try Ritalin. I’ve been on Dexedrine for a few months, and I’m not really having negative side effects.

Is she a pill mill, or is it worth fixing something that’s not broken?

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

I'm looking into homeowners insurance for a new build townhome. Does anyone have any suggestions on providers? Thanks!

I tried counting my calories while on this trip. My lunch was basically my whole day’s worth of calories and I barely finished 2/3rd of it 🙃 man I HATE calorie counting. Why is weight loss so dependent on it 😭 whatever I’m just gonna enjoy this vacation and suffer the consequences. Plus side is at least we’re hiking/walking a lot.

If you have trouble with female foleys- go shadow a midwife.

I’m considering a move from NYC to LA. I work in health and am curious what the top agencies are out there? There might be some apples to apples but figured I’d ask as I start my search. Also, would love any salary variations that may be worth considering.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

Will the 4th of July become an end of Coronavirus party? I feel like those celebrations will, realistically, be the effective end of lockdown. They can take our (small f) freedom, but not our FREEDOM 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

China has implemented mandatory anal Covid tests for foreign visitors. This seems extremely woke, since anal tests are more accurate than nasal, and I think we should implement this back home in USA. Like for people who go to the store or gym, just a quick butt test to keep people safe. Thoughts?

Does anyone use a private chef to prep meals and snacks for the week that they would recommend. Looking for a healthy alternative to not having time to cook. Would be for me and my partner (2 people total).

What does everyone think about workers comp defense? I just started at my new firm and seems ok but wondering whether I should make a career out of it. And would I be pigeonholed away from other areas of insurance defense?

I'm always shocked by how many partners I tell about three holes during the new OB appointment. What have you observed regarding knowledge of the female anatomy?

@Moskowitz, are you ok? Haven’t ‘seen’ you in a while and know you were dealing with COVID and then the fires.. please check in.

Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

Tip for anyone taking the CAIA exam, get UpperMark. Was using willey and was abt 1/2 complete and borrowed a friends test bank … night and day much harder and honestly was more like what I expected

Will try to keep this short - After parents visited a few months and I visited India and left, i feel like a void, everyday i feel like a machine with my mind still back home. Though its been a month

Completely psyched myself out in an interview. How do I recover? I just got so nervous

Anyone here who left fed job and regretted it?

A close friend from abroad is looking to register an online business in NY and use her team abroad to do the work remotely. Since she is abroad, she asked me to register an LLC on my name and in exchange receive a share of the profit. Is there some management agreement under which risk can be capped. What’s the worst that can happen- business having to defend some litigation case…?

Sell?

FDD 🐠 I will be promoted to audit SM in October, however looking to transfer to the FDD practice. Based on discussions with partners in the practice, I would be brought in as an experienced manager with opportunity to promote to senior manager in FDD next year. Is the learning curve steep, or should I push to come in as SM? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

What's Deloitte view on boomerang. I've got a federal GS offer that's 20k more I'd prolly work a year there and then come back to advisory federal.... Good learning opportunity for my Cyber skills

Is anyone actually specific when putting their out of office message? My boss will put that he’s “feeling ill” or “at a doctors appointment” and I think it’s weird

Do partners sometimes say nice things about your work just to encourage you and less so because the work merits the compliment? Or is my impostor syndrome really messing with my head?

Just got the hardest sell I’ve ever gotten after giving notice to leave my small firm for BigLaw. So tough but it’s too good of an opportunity….right???

Worst luck ever. My group was very slow from Jan through may, so I won’t hit my hours, but am now (and will continue to be) very busy…. About to do 1990 hrs the most painful way possible. Fml.

Anyone done the billing superbadge? Need some help with step 13

After panel interview how long does it usually take for the recruiter to contact with an offer?

Unusual situation: My client called her advisor for an account held away from me, and asked for her RMD from that firm be aggregated with $2700 RMD which represents her RMD with me. Because she forgot

Reccomendations for casual and/or professional wardrobe/image consultants for women, no trunk club like services. Thank you.

If an employment agreement has a restrictive covenant that the employee cannot join the board of a competing business, but “competing business” is undefined, how do you make that determination?

How is the work life balance in biz ops? Currently have an offer but haven’t been able to really figure this out. I’m moving from consulting

I flunked out of school and had no options when I joined the army. I hated every second of my time in, and spent all my weekends getting as drunk as possible.

Now that I’m out, I graduated with my BA in Econ, got a job I love, and somehow got into an M7 Bschool with a 670 GMAT. I look back on my time in and laugh, and still talk with some of my old army buddies (though not as often anymore)

Amazing how time can change your perspective, because 10 years ago I never thought I’d be here.

Boy do I love to compare myself to other people and then spend a weekend spiraling in self hatred. It’s just *chef’s kiss*

I’m in a new job and feel so lost. It’s slightly outside of what I did in the past and I constantly feel overwhelmed by everything. I feel extremely stupid and keep thinking of all my past failures and I think I’m failing at this job. I’ve been in this job for 2 months and just don’t feel confident about myself or my knowledge anymore.

Been seeing a therapist for a while now and feeling worse than ever. Been having suicidal thoughts. Not sure what to do.

I’m struggling to get through this week...join hands with me and let’s get this sh*t done!! 💪💪🏽💪🏿

I feel like every time people talk to me, they can tell there's something a little off about me. I just joined a new job, and all the other people in my class are getting along really well w our office, but I feel like im left in the dust

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression? I first started noticing difficulties in articulating my thoughts at university and my career in consulting has only made this more prominent. I feel embarrassed, really depressed and incompetent because of this. This is one of the greatest anxieties I have regarding my performance and I find it is really effecting my development.

Faaak ma lyf

When did you decide to get medicated? I have what I’d call “high functioning” depression and anxiety. See a therapist and all, but still deal with lows that seem hard to overcome for weeks on end - losing interest, hard to focus on work, sleeping difficulties, etc. Hard to tell when to make that decision!

Why can thanksgiving and Christmas be such harder days? I had a lovely day and am lucky enough that my latest bout of anxiety ended (more like mostly dissipated) about two months ago. I haven’t had high levels of depression in a while and I almost NEVER cry even when I’m depressed. Yet, I ended my day in tears today. Is this normal? I have so many blessings in life at the moment compared to other during such a horrible times bf really am appreciative. Is it guilt because others are suffering?

Does anyone else have a constant nagging feeling something bad is going to happen?

How do you track your progress towards goals?

I usually write down my reflections and goals in the notes app, but inevitably (after 1-2 months) i break my habit and fall off the wagon. I’m wondering if people have suggestions on how they stay on track

For those of you in consulting/finance/high intensity jobs, what medication do you use for anxiety? Currently using a beta blocker as I’m afraid anything more will cause cognitive impacts.

About month ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and had to go through cardiac catheterization to get a stent.
I am in mid 30s and it's unbelievable that i have got this. Have been quite down mentally for last few weeks, and don't think if I can sustain the consulting life anymore.
I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

Having a really hard time this week. Everyday just feels the same. I have zero motivation to work, all I want to do is lounge around and not be responsible for anything. How do I get over this feeling?

I just can’t imagine not being depressed anymore. I have days peeking through of clarity but they are rarer and rarer. Can’t escape my tension headaches or stress. I feel like even if I quit my job which causes all of the stress. I’ll have less purpose

Anyone the only single family members with a flexible job that always gets called upon to help everyone out? Watch kids/sick parents, travel to vs being visited?
It’s like your 2nd class in the fam 😔

I was just laid off due to COVID. Felt invincible when the crisis began but now feel lost as if my career was ripped out with the tide. Slowly gaining motivation to get back on top

After years of dragging my feet on getting therapy, today I realized after 3 sessions how warped my thinking has been and how it has held me back. I wished that I had worked through and unpacked this shit a long time ago. Anyways , just wanted to recommend anyone on the fence to give it a try

How long should it take a company to check references? It's been 2weeks since I've provided this info, I'm anxious everyday. Assume I did not get the position & move on? Losing hope- really need this.

I no longer tell myself I want to be dead. Meds and therapy have helped. But I also seem to not care if I die or get a terminal illness or disease. Like I won’t put myself in danger but if I get a disease or illness I won’t mind either. Does anyone else feel like that? Maybe that’s one reason I don’t bother to get myself in shape.
