For those who live in cold climates and cycle for commuting, what do you wear for eye protection? I bought some (nicer) safety glasses from a hardware store because they’re also clear and anti-fog and I figured they’d work the same. I save like 60% than buying cycling glasses.

Does anyone have a case for NOT doing this and going for fancy cycling glasses/goggles?

Ever since the Ukrainian invasion, I can't sleep well. Anyone else feeling this way?

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

On the news, there was a report that "stress" causes negative health effects. Um. OK. Don't people feel "stress" just by being alive? Like, what would be the control group that you could measure the results against? I don't know why, but it always makes me wonder

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it. I work 3 feet from my bed, I find the barriers of a phone/email between me and a senior to add a huge amount of stress to my life and I think it’s stunting my career development at my firm because I can’t build relationships as effectively. I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Feeling really low cause I got diagnosed with a serious uncureable disease. Trying to process and come to terms with the implications of it. I wanna go out but struggling to motivate myself to even get out of bed 😔

Any good gyms in the West Village/Soho area (excluding Equinox)

After months of depression and suicidal thoughts, I had a big realization that pulled me out of it.. that I’m alone in the world and I can’t rely on anyone else but myself. As a chronic people pleaser, this was liberating.

I drank too much tonight (not in the US - time diff) and I’m currently lying in bed not going to sleep to not relax to not wake up to not throw up. I hate alcohol for ever

I’m 6 month pregnant with a good amount of lower back pain that gets worse with standing and walking. Insanely, I’d like to take my 2 older kids to Disney before the new baby arrives. Has anyone been to Disney Land (CA) and Disney World (FL)? I’m curious if Disney Land being smaller would be less walking and possibly a better option.

Thoughts on Ashwagandha to feel better? more energy, less stress, etc. Has anyone here taken it and recommend?

i had my canadian pr last year but didn’t do the landing since covid hit. the deadline passed of course and the immigration office reached out to check if i’m still interested and if so i should re-do a medical. assuming my medical goes through and my pr is processed and accepted again, does anyone know if landing is still a thing? my original plan was to do a landing and move after 2 years. is this still possible or does canada basically want you to move in a year or so after pr is granted?

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?

Any recs for a therapist in Charlotte? Would also appreciate general tips on finding a good therapist in your area (besides asking friends)

Does anyone have suggestions for a refresher course/presentation on critical care? I'm an OB/GYN wanting to keep myself educated.

Is anyone or does anyone have a good personal trainer in the NYC area? I’m quite an experienced lifter but have hit a mental (and slightly physical) plateau and would benefit from some coaching. TIA!

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed. Although in that time she has started communicating less and I literally had to beg her to get on face time. My gut says she wants to end it but unsure. Any advice ? It's been 2 weeks since this event

Have been struggling to context switch between different projects that I am working on simultaneously. Any tips? Thanks in advance :)

Thoughts on calendar being double booked? What are the etiquettes to be followed. Often people double book and it feels like “ my meeting is more important that whatever you have booked time for in yours”. If both meetings are same urgency/importance - what’s the best approach ?

Can you learn to ride a bike as an adult? Where should I start?

What do you ride ? I’ll go first!
Road- Cheap unnamed road bike 🤷‍♂️

Teach me!
How do you try new bikes? A car you can jump in, move the seat and drive around. A bike needs a fit(something for another post), time and it’s impossible to ride all brands to see what “feels” best. Love my local bike shop, but they only sell Trek and are obviously biased.

I mostly only get to ride on weekends. If I'm lucky, during the week I'll get in some peloton. How do you get in leisure rides with work during the week?

Cold weather cycling 🐠 any clothing recommendations? Not trying to break the bank Thinking of gloves, hat/ear muffs, leggings, etc. (I’m 27M, avg height on the thinner side if helpful)

Do you guys have a set mileage to hit while riding, or just go with the flow?

Is anyone still riding fixed gear?

Hi peeps! Trying to get into biking as a sport but I don’t which bike to start with or where to find a bike club. I’m in the DFW area. Recommendations welcome and appreciated!
