Cant take adderal because the side effects are just too hard on me. Are there any other meds I should talk to my doctor about? I am tired of being Dory.

Do you go see your parents when they are getting surgery?
I've never been afraid of surgery before and my dad's had a bunch (from military). He lives a few states away but I usually get to see him quite often. He's only in his 40s and my mom is with him. The surgery he's about to have is considered high risk. I'm not worried or anything, but it's it customary to go see them when they're having a major surgery? He'll be in-patient for at least a week. Sounds I go after and help my mom? WWYD?

I suck at yoga…
I sustained a back injury about 18 years ago and it’s never been the same since. Friend of mine suggested doing yoga but I really can’t do even the basic movements. I really hope it gets easier 😮‍💨

Hi everyone, I have pretty bad under eye bags for my age that’s genetic related, have you used any eye cream or eye pads that helped reduce them? Thanks all!

Folks, what is the best health insurance that you have gotten for visiting parents?

The pandemic, mental health issues, and financial stress caused my work to suffer. What do I do?

It's been 3 months since I secretly canceled my wife's peloton membership and she still hasn't noticed

I'd like to hear other cases where telehealth has proved to be more beneficial. Me personally, I work in primary care and was able to identify cholecystitis and get them to the OR More quickly as if they were actually coming to the office. I do think it can be very efficient.

I am struggling to spend the time to study for the PHR. I have everything I need, but I feel exhausted from the work week every weekend. I’m looking to take it in August.. help? What do I do?

Seeing a lot of news articles about the second coronavirus wave in Europe. Do you think people are still taking the pandemic seriously? How are your agencies doing business-wise? Hope everyone is staying safe!

Well here is a new issue I am troubleshooting today. We have an ADA reasonable accommodation request for gluten free cookies at the reception after the holiday talent show for an employee with celiac disease. I think we might be required to grant this request. Employee has the same right to access the benefits of employment with us as everyone else - here that benefit would be baked goods at the reception. I suppose celiac impairs a major life function - eating, and is a disability. Thoughts?

5’6 and 143lbs. Is it really overweight for a female? My doctor says that

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?

Anyone have a good dermatologist recommendation in the Bay Area? Wanting to do cosmetic procedures, lasers, etc.

Tips or suggestions for how to keep a positive mindset with each passing month of no pregnancy (or loss)? What helped you stay positive vs. getting into a mindset of sadness/anxiety/stress? Both in terms of relaxing but also in feeling like you were “in control” of as much as you can control

Metformin: Planning to, as per doc, add metformin to my daily pill list. I seem to have egg quantity but not quality due to assumed insulin resistantance due to mild PCOS. I am not diabetic, have lean PCOS. Folks that took metformin for IVF, how long were you on it and did you have good results? Side effects? Thanks!

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

Anyone successfully conceive with clomid naturally? Just got endometrial biopsy results which indicated I’m not ovulating (despite having a period every 22-26 days…) and my doctor is putting me on clomid.

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.

Cont. in comments.

~6 weeks pregnant (IVF and PGT tested embaby) and spotting again.
First time was last week. I freaked out. Went to doc, they said everything is fine.
A few days later it started again. Very light, brown.
Anyone else experience this? Reason to worry?

Any advice on ways to increase your credit score to offset a young credit age?

Moved to the US 5 years ago and wasn’t able to get any sort of credit until 1 year in so my average credit age is low and score is always taking a hit for it.

I live in NYC so no need for a car/car loan and I don’t have a mortgage. I’ve got 2 credit cards with reasonable balances and I have one small personal loan just to show diversity in accounts.

This system is crazy. Any help appreciated

Does anyone else here do non-profit consulting or volunteering on top of their full-time job? How are you balancing the two? Could use some advice or help. Thanks!

I received an offer from a boutique litigation firm and a large law firm on the same day! I want to take a little time to consider both. What’s the typical time frame to respond?

I am an interdisciplinary studies major concentrating on organizational leadership and sociology. I have 17 years of management experience already and I'm not young. I will need an internship this summer, but I tend not to get calls on my applications. I'm nervous because I will need the internship to graduate, and it needs to fulfill expectations of both OGL AND SOC. Human resources, DEI, talent development or acquisition, ethics, all would be great (I think). Best places to look? Thank you!

Newly promoted team manager. My business unit's culture is super competitive but the vibe is much more relaxed at our company's other offices- any ideas on how to change things?

Does PEG do more strategy than PIPE and PEPI? Heard its two counterparts do more DD work opposed to portfolio/firm strategy

I miss the old agency spy like I miss the old Kanye.

Anyone else have XRB stuck on Mercatox...got a lot of money there and can’t get it off their exchange..not to mention an XRB dev said to sell and get it off that exchange.

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!

Would like to take my parents on an all inclusive resort vacation for 4-5 days in south america. Would prefer great beach side amenities, safe, and a direct or 1 layover from DMV.

New manager going to Dubai!?

Paisa kisi ka hoga EY ka?

Hello everyone do you mind getting $100 just for 2 days part time fast job. Of 1 hour daily and 2/3 hours for those 2 days. Only just to assist me with a little residential property listing on Zillow and Avail.

For those who have been to either/both, if you had the option of spending a weekend in Hamburg or Düsseldorf which would you choose?

Looking to connect with individuals who are on the market for a new home in Austin. Preferably new builds and/or considering buying a lot and building on their own. Resale is okay too! Hit my up in my DMs. Will venmo you for a cup of coffee for ~15-20min of your time.

This job’s demanding things from me I can’t even achieve in my (much simpler) personal life - like getting organized, planning head, keeping time, multitasking. I’m smart (I think?) but slow and it’s very hard to focus, stay motivated, and see tasks through. At what point do I walk away? In reality every role that pays well is going to demand these skills to varying degrees and I’m all but convinced I’ll never have them - after all I’ve been trying since childhood. What to do? 😢

Any advice on shifting towards the manager role? I’m finding it hard to maintain focus and energy with IM questions (interruptions) from the team and others and with reviewing / driving progress on the parts of my project scope that I enjoy doing less myself to begin with ?

Anyone try ADHD coaching? Have any recommendations?

Decided to stop taking Adderall because of its neurotoxicity.

I’m supposed to work on spreadsheets with 20+ columns of text to compare, and I’m struggling. An additional monitor doesn’t always help. I think it’s something wrong with me. Anyone encounter this?

Has anyone tried Keto and experienced a improvement in ADD symptoms? I’m really trying to get off medication at some point. I’ve tried exercise, but need more. Thanks! :)

What is an actually fun way to excercise? I’m feeling like a human hamster running on a wheel when I’m on the treadmill.

ADHD advice and suggestions for consistent high-performance on an important 60-80 hour work week project?… Medikinet (concerta) helps with focus but makes you feel bit more tired/lazy, so would you add a bit of modafinil? Anyone mixed these two?

Long one - one of my best friends (10+ years) and I had a drink last week, I told her of my recent ADHD diagnosis and how we had noticed the generational trend (my mum & grandad as very similar symptoms wise and they acknowledge this, but not diagnosed). The friend mentioned her therapist has suggested she may had ADHD (inattentive type) - she then told me a few things like how she's absolutely neurotypical and she's never associated herself with neurodiversity etc, she made a ...

Anyone else pace while taking calls?

How do y’all fall asleep and get your 7-8 hours? Just spent the whole night tossing and turning
