Fish, how do you deal with friends and family members who have anxiety? Someone dear in my life has struggled with it all his life, but unfortunately it frequently leads to (for lack of a better word) a lot of dickish and controlling behavior. How much slack do you cut someone when you know this is a disorder they suffer from? (I should add that this person is both keenly aware of their disorder and stubbornly refuses to get treatment).

As someone who also suffers from anxiety, it's not an excuse for poor behavior to the point that you're asking this. Yes, it's really tough, but you can't just put all your frustrations/anger onto others. It's their own mental health, not about else's.

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

Does anyone in this group have ADHD? Are you finding that working in a law firm setting and billing hours is just not something they can do or is it possible with the proper medication and therapy?

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me. I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.

Hello folks,

My current ctc is 23lpa and I have offer of around 36lpa in India
However i am getting an onsite opportunity In Denmark, what should be my expected ctc there? Considering the country is much expensive. If anyone has done research regarding cost of living in Denmark earlier, please share your thoughts on this, it would be very helpful. They are willing to offer 60k euros, but I feel 36 lpa in india is better deal. Companies are equivalent.
