I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

My partner and I agreed that we’d start trying to conceive but not that I’ve stopped my birth control I feel so paranoid and anxious. I keep thinking of all the things that I wanted to get down before a baby and now I’m nervous that it’s not the right time.

The military saved me. I'm serious. I brought so many conflicts into the service, my father was an alcoholic, and I was an opioid addict. I've been clean for seven years thanks to my training. Forever thankful to the troops for that.

I just learned that my younger adult sibling has been severely, deeply depressed. This surfaced when sib said they needed help moving and the family showed up to find that the entire apartment was under 3-4ft of trash, including a significant amount of rotten food. (Sib has no sense of smell due to past medical issues.) We are floored. Sib is very private and no one knew. With COVID, no one has been in the apartment. Sib’s supposed to be moving across the country, and we’re worried…

Has anyone claimed childbirth classes on insurance? Why is everything so expensive?

I must admit that, after seeing the way Covid-19 disproportionately affects marginalized populations, I’m now a strong supporter of Medicare 4 All.

Do you agree?

Think about how outcomes could’ve been improved for so many people had they had accessible primary care since birth. So many people don’t have primary care because they can’t afford it.

I was a skeptic but no longer.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone here has any tips for dealing with burn out? I have been noticing a real lack of focus and exhaustion lately that I can’t shake. It is starting to bleed into my personal life too. I’m a single mom to a 5yo boy so I’m always tired 🤦‍♀️. I love my company and role, but I keep getting more little projects. It makes me proud that they feel like I am doing a good job, but I am worried about how much I have been slipping recently.

Mini vent. I HATE that just because I am female every time I say my stomach doesn't feel great or even that I like eating one food a lot I get asked if I am pregnant. Seriously people wtf. I'm allowed to have a craving for food or get a stomach bug without automatically being with child....

Is anyone changing their retirement plans based on COVID-19 realities and the future of work.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
