Had multiple negative rapid tests and an initial negative PCR tests last week. Only to get a call this AM from local urgent care saying a glitch in the portal system falsely reported negative PCR test results, and the results are positive. I recently attended my company’s holiday party. I’m fully vaxxed w/ no symptoms, I’ve already contacted work and friends I was w/ over the weekend. What do I do now?

Anyone else mentally checked out of work? Going on PTO in about a week!

Y’all, 36+3, FTM and the weather has warmed up where I live (SE US), and the foot swelling has finally hit me 🥲 Wore cute sandals out yesterday - pretty comfy ones - but my feet and ankles were not cute by EOD. Took my shoes off and my crisscross straps were visible in my puffy feet. Lessons learned to drink more water (all day) but also just felt so icky and bloated looking at my feet. Hoping for a cold snap before baby arrives 😂

Anyone else a frequent flier but still get turbulence anxiety? I *know* in my brain that it’s totally fine and nothing to worry about- but my heart rate says otherwise 😂

How can you tell when staying home alone is introversion vs social withdrawal/isolation, which is a symptom of something more serious?

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Job searching with depression feels like an insurmountable task. The idea of finding something that interests me, at a good company, and good comp feels hopeless. Anyone else deal with this? Tips?

Am I the only one questioning how BEC has the highest pass rate? It’s all over the place and there’s so much stuff to memorize! Is anyone taking any supplements to help with focus or overall brain power?

I ended a 5 year relationship back in March because he was toxic and I was very close to depression. Since then I’ve lost 30 pounds and found happiness again. Now due to a serious of events, I’m falling back into that depression. I’ve already gained 10lbs.
This one seems scarier & no matter how many times I tell myself to get up. I just can’t. I feel defeated.
I know I don’t want to end my life because better days will come, but I can’t shake the thought. :/
Any advice would be appreciated.

I am 34.5 and have been TTC for 1.5 years. Failed one cycle of timed intercourse and one natural cycle IUI. At this point, considering IVF- there were no major issues when got tested by RE. Had a microadenoma and have been on medication since. Husband’s count and motility came back normal but morphology was a bit low. RE said low morphology does not matter much. Any advice before going to IVF? Thank you in advance

Has anyone used an Airbnb experience photographer while on a vacation. I know the experience will vary greatly, but generally speaking, how does it work? Is it like when you go to some of these studios and they hold your pictures hostage till you fork over a bunch of $$? The ones I’ve viewed said they give you X amount of digital pics within 2 days. Are you expected to tip the photographer and if so, how much?

Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

I can't find a really interesting bowl here.

Hi Everyone,
I had my 1 to 1 with my boss on Monday, at which time I brought up the fact that I felt like I was operating above my role of Marketing Assistant and said I felt that I was doing tasks that fell in line of Marketing Manager. After an honest conversation, he said that I fit more with Marketing Associate. He said he'd like me to learn more strategic thinking and leadership skills and recommended I get involved with a local business organization. Any recommendations?

My boss and I were having a virtual lunch chat with another colleague of mine. The colleague congratulated him on his new relationship being official. I already knew about it so the chat headed towards the direction of their origin. A week goes by, project is going well, suddenly I get a meeting request from him to give me feedback with 20 minutes notice. He basically called me unprofessional for asking him about his personal life and that he should be able to keep private ... (1/2)

Are career coaches specific to one field or specialty, or do they generally have knowledge of a variety of career fields/industries? I understand it may depend on the coach. Wondering if their help would be limited to jobs within the legal (or other relevant) field or if they could help with an entire industry change. Both are helpful, just in different ways.
