For the desi men here, anyone gotten full body laser done? How’d it go?

Is Equinox worth it? I live on the same block as one. My primary form of exercise is currently Peloton/my very active dog, so I am primarily interested in using the gym for weightlifting (and yoga classes when they come back).

Any partners on here that would consider themselves happy and successful that have struggled (or continue to struggle) with mental issues (e.g., depression)? How do you consistently perform well?

Anyone else struggling? My wife is pregnant with morning sickness and we have a toddler so I am basically doing everything In between working. Feel like I’m about to break.

Have 2 kids now and close to late 30s. I am diabetic but otherwise healthy. Looking for life insurance policies. I don't know where to start. What should be coverage and monthly premium i need to target. I don't trust agents as they will try to get me into something i don't understand and may get locked up. Any good resources online or companies that are recognized for providing coverage. What type of policies you guys have.

DNA tests -fellow desis, requesting everyone here to get them done and build up the Desi reference database. Had a 23 and me test done recently, result was 100% South Asian -duh.

Any thoughts on the 75 Hard challenge? I’ve started seeing it circulate on social media again and I’m interested to give it a try (I do better working out and eating well in a framework). But, I’m not sure I love how rigid the program is - seems like it could be setting you up for a bad relationship with your diet and/or exercise.

Anyone here got veneers and/or Invisalign recently. If so, how much did it cost you, where did you go and how was your experience with the dentist? Thanks

How do I care less? No intention of making partner. Here to learn as much as I can for as long as I can stand it. But I have panic attacks every f’in day.

Can you please share tips on optimizing home office setup to deal with ADHD and organizing emails/notes/to-dos etc. Starting a new job in 2 months and would like use this time to set myself up for success.

Diagnosed with ADHD at 40. Tried Vyvanse for a couple of months. It works in terms of depriving grogginess, afternoon post meal crash, and suppressing appetite (at times).

However, I still needed help planning/prioritizing my day,  listening and active note taking, and keeping myself accountable. So decided to replace meds with coffee. Also, the fact that most people on meds had to progressively increase their medication over time did not sit well with me. (cont'd)

No motivation to workout since the year started. I was doing so great. How do I get back on track? No negative comments please, need some motivation

Had a really rough drinking episode this past weekend. Broke some things in our house. Don’t remember. For 20 years now, I can have 1-2 drinks and be fine 9/10 times, and that 10% I go HARD. Sometimes I just really need it, but it’s always filled with regret the next day. I really want to be able to drink a glass of wine or have a couple beers, but now my SO says 100% abstinence. Is it possible with my background and history or abuse to even try to do this anymore, or should I completely stop.
