Female 🐠: basically all of my pores are visibly clogged and enlarged. I get breakouts from this regularly. What do I need to do? I assume I need to go to a spa or derm. Should I be seeking an extraction facial?

Anyone have recommendations for ADHD coaches, preferably focused on managing it in a senior-level role? Also preferably if focused on the female ADHD experience. Open to remote coaching with folks in other locations but I'm based in NYC.

I just booked my venue for October 2022. I am very excited but want to lose weight to be comfortable on my wedding day. I put on some weight during the pandemic and I am about 40lbs over my comfort weight. Anyone follow a plan that worked for them?

How do hit 10,000 steps these days? I workout at 6am, start work at 8 am and finish at about 8 pm and sleep at 10. Any tips how and when to squeeze in a walk?

Hi.. I’m really struggling lately with stress and anxiety. I’ve always had depression but it’s been more maniac and often manageable. I’m at my breaking point now and don’t know what to do. I made an appt with my doctor (PA) tomorrow. Will they prescribe me an anxiety medicine? What should I ask for? I’m looking for something low dose and minimal side effects. Help!!

Panic attacks and anxiety for public speaking in front of strangers. Anyone in a simular situation who have tried Toastmasters?

Sick of people saying don't wear a mask. Wear a mask people, if you have one. The CDC says only wear them when you are sick. But isn't that the tricky part of Covid19? That you can be asymptomatic?

Anyone else dying this week 😅

Just completed my last shift in the ICU. I'm glad to be shifting back to the Maternatity ward. It was exhausting, and emotionally draining working with such sick patients. I know the work we did made a big difference, but I'm glad to go back to my favorite role!

Just restarted stimulants and already I'm dealing with twitches again. Does anyone else get these? No type of pain or anything just every once and a while my body will twitch strongly. Afterward I feel normal, but it's a bit annoying, and I can't control it at all which is a little disconcerting. Don't remember this from when I took stimulants as a kid, but it's been a while.

What are the healthcare options like in India? I'll be needing regular care and I'm not sure what the insurance providers are and if care works differently in general.

How to reduce stress? Provide real workable solutions please. Don’t copy paste google stuff!

Anyone know of any good road bike cycling clubs? In NC, I used to ride every Sunday with a club that was networked with the only brewery in town. But Denver’s so big I don’t know where the local group rides are…I’m in the West Highlands area

Planning on taking my Indian parents for covid vaccine in CVS (they are ~61 yr old and we live in. CA)
Does anyone know if they ask for resident proof and doctors note ? CA’s eligibility is still critical health condition for anyone below 65

Trying to decide between a natural cycle or a synthetic cycle for implantation. As I understand it the major difference is doing either vaginal progesterone suppositories for one or progesterone injections. How bad are the injections? Thoughts on either cycle would be appreciated.

Should I plan to Uber or drive a rental car to get around NYC tourist sites? NY fish, would you take a child on the subway in the Bronx right now? I'm hearing horror stories and supposedly there are more homeless living on the subway who need/cannot access mental health treatment. But driving & parking are nightmarishly stressful & expensive 😩

Do you think people working in the pharma industry will gain more trust, respect, or positive vibes in 2021 after vaccines are widely distributed? Right now it’s the industry with one of the lowest perception scores

Anyone taken the Series 62? Difficulty ?

At work I tend to eat just to eat. Any advice on how to break the habit?

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?

Has anyone else tried Strattera, had success, and a few months later felt like work was a struggle again? Am I imagining it? There are reasons why I should not take stimulants, but I miss that feeling of being a “regular” person at work and so am curious if others have had a similar journey and where you all ended up

Thoughts on buying pre-construction homes in markets that are popping and flipping selling them when construction is complete?

My uncle does this (he’s a realtor) and usually gets 2-3x return. Obviously there is huge risk because property prices can change a lot in 1-2 years, but at the same time the upside is hard to ignore.

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

When asked,do you disclose your current rate in an interview? Are you required to provide evidence? What is the norm? Thanks!!!

Can someone suggest?

Hello Folks ,

Can anyone tell me how much time BGV takes place in HCL Tech as my joining date is very close and they are updating me it is ongoing . Will it impact my joining date ?

Would you switch careers for a 2nd time? I actually like what I do now 80% of the time, and I am really hesitant to switch again after all the work that I did to get here and the stability and benefits. Only reason I am considering it is because of the pay. I’m ok with the pay, but who wouldn’t like to make much more ?

Is anyone’s company offering to pay portion of your rent as home office expense? Especially if company is no longer paying for commercial office space?

This year has aged me 5 years. Happy Sunday everyone..!

Info on a new job the company is SAPUTO Dairy inc.

If you’re looking for a good show to watch, I recommend White Collar. I watched it about 8 years ago and just started it again.

Hot take: permanent WFH is NOT here to stay and we will all be back in the office by Feb 2021 14 days after you're vaccinated (just like in Contagion).
It's simply impossible to train new staff to the same standard. Juniors do not learn from seeing other people doing things.

I feel like I have to work but I don’t want to😩 happy Labor Day y’all

Let's say through a combination of aggressive saving, high income, and savvy investments, I manage to save several million by the time I'm 40.

If at that time I decided to pursue my passion and go to law school so that I can be an affordable attorney for worthy causes, will my age hold me back from getting into law school?

Power out so I’m off early on a Friday! But, now my power is out…

I’m currently taking a complete break from dating (no one on the horizon, no hung up on an ex, no dating apps) in order to get back to being myself and figuring out what I want, and in that self reflection I’ve realized that I have met/dated so many people who think or say they are dating to find their person, but are really just filling some void or insecurity. I think we get so caught up in always needing to date to fill our short term loneliness that we stop thinking long term goals and needs

Recommendation as to which Series 5 Apple Watch I should get? F 🐠, very active (running, hiking, etc).

When we go back to the office, I wonder how I’ll be able to lie on my bed and stare the ceiling, reconsidering my life choices
