Having an animal friend with cancer is not something easy. This year I have already had 24 animals that went to sleep in order to stop suffering. This is not easy for their families at all. It seems to me that the cancer stats in domestic animals are increasing, is this just me?

Hi all... received medical RFE for my AOS (EB1C India non concurrent filing in December, 140 approved in May, FP complete in April 2021)
They have given an envelope but the medical records cannot fit inside. Any advice on how to handle this ? Should I just tape or Clio the envelope with the sealed envelope ?

Are there any remote positions for 30 years medical experience but only possess an Associates? Our office closed after 16 years and I’m not sure that I want to do Ultrasound anywhere else (believe me, the case load has severely increased since I started and I don’t want to injure my body this late in my career)… looking for suggestions of case managers, etc. (Thanks in advance!)

Im 29, husband is 28. We just recently got married. Ive been unsure if i want kids my whole life but as time has gone on, ive felt more of the desire. My husband definitely wants at least one child. We both arent “ready” now though. Got my AMH tested - its 2.01 , FSH 5.9. My doctor said its nothing to worry about but i know it goes down with time. She didnt recommend i go to a clinic or freeze my eggs. I dont want to rush into motherhood but i also worry about waiting & the risk that poses

Does your insurance require you to transfer frozen embryos before another round ?

Anyone else worried about the effects of delaying surgeries and cancer treatment?

So I've been noticing that when I get moving in my body, my mood changes almost instantly to a better one and my sleep at night is so much better. Would you all be interested in a 5 day challenge this

Does anyone have days where you remember to take your medicine but your brain is still on strike and can’t get anything done? Today is the most useless I have ever been.

Everyone that lives and works in the Tennessee Valley and the path from the storm last night - are you okay/safe?

I was having a great morning and feeling productive till I decided to get a sandwich and coffee from Starbucks. 2 hours later, I have food poisoning. I've heard of life comes at you fast, but this was just unnecessary, and I hate life.

I have not been to therapy since I was young but I know I need to start going due to depression and trauma. What type of clinician should I actually be looking for?

What should the reaction be if the vaccines end up only being reasonably effective. Say we end up with a going forward rate of 100,000 dead per year. Or 50,000. Is there a point at which you say you were willing to take the risk and move back to a normal life (gatherings, restaurants, travel, etc.)? Recognizing they lockdowns can temporarily reduce counts, but not eliminate the disease.

Lately I have been struggling with anxiety. I am now getting panic attacks. A lot of it stems from school. Any tips? I am in the process of getting a therapist. I also purchased otc meds to help

Do you feel like you can be your real/whole self at work? If not, what parts of you do you leave at the door? What would happen if you were your real self at work?

Why do I get an auto-decline from MBB? I usually get to the online/HireVue interviews for every other company (finance, consulting). I have a high GPA and a lot of research experience in popular fields (ML/DL). But for MBB I get a decline the next day. Is it because my undergrad is from abroad and non-target? Am I missing resume keywords?

Does the school look at your IR score? I'm scoring well on the other parts of the exam but poorly on IR.

Interviewed for USC 3 weeks ago, has anyone heard back yet?

Zurich, Switzerland.

So I recently asked for an higher salary, which I have been given. My role and responsibilities are the same. I effectively received the agreed amount of money on my latest salary slip but I didn't sign any "new" contract. Is this normal? How does this work? This is my first salary bump and I don't really know how is it supposed to happen.

Thanks in advance

KFC awards creative business to MullenLowe after FOUR ROUNDS OF PITCHES. That’s right. Not only did they ask agencies to pitch over the holidays, they made them come back… not twice, not 3 times. But 4. Times. Arnold? FCB? Fig?

Godspeed to the creative team on this business. KFC is the reason this industry is shrinking and creatives are fleeing in droves.

Wieden saw this coming from (many) miles away. Good on them.

There are good clients and great brands out there….just not this one sadly.

Need Boston-based photog recommends for some posed event photos @ my clients HQ in Downtown Boston. About 2 hrs worth of time, photog must have on-demand print capes & a site to host images. Thanks!

We got a puppy and I am losing my mind

Having a rough day - single, older & treated poorly by current mgr. I know this is just the way my brain chemistry works sometimes but need to hear about something good in the world (not about me).

On the verge of quitting because I’m stressed, depressed, feel like I’m constantly frustrated with everyone and everything. Don’t have an alternative lined up ...but also less and less able to cope

Take the leap. Book that therapy appointment.

First day of new job outside of consulting... I'm nervous

Dealing with post partum dep/anx. On my 5th day of Zoloft 50mg for the first time and the days are still really really hard. Is it the side effects? How long before I should feel somewhat better/normal? Really struggling today. Any insight into your experience would mean a lot.

Sometimes it feels like I can't tell dreams vs memories apart bc my dreams are so vividly realistic but my life memories are fading/slipping due to suppression (not talking about them, not reliving them) and mostly since becoming anti-social after some PTSD events and growing up hyper independent. Most of the time I question if something I "remember" happened in real life, or if it was something from a dream.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need help? How do I ask for help? Who to ask?

Has anyone’s depression affected their dating ability?

Has anyone been able to wean completely off meds with regular therapy, self care techniques Etc or is it best to maybe stay on a low dose? I know everyone is diff...

Do others get particularly sad/down around their birthday? I always feel undeserving of any appreciation I get

I feel like a failure having to see a therapist for my depression. Am I just too weak? Sorry just one of those days today... I finally made my first appointment to see a therapist but feel hesitant

Feel stuck professionally. Moved to an internal role due to circumstances. Salary has been practically flat since. Tried to get promoted last year, didn’t happen. Trying to find a new job since...

My SO is dealing with a terrible boss who has a history of firing people before their probation period. They have had some really terrible meetings recently and my SO thinks that their boss may be aiming to fire them since my SO is approaching their probation period deadline. Would you quit your job if you were in this situation or is it best to let the company terminate you?

I was let go today after 2 months for “not meeting expectations”. This was my first job in consulting after spending the last 5 years since graduating undergrad trying to break in. I can (cont.)

Having hard time staying motivated. I’m 28 years old. Never had a gf. Have no friends. Hate my job. Feel like jumping out of my window or something. Honestly need advice or someone to talk to

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…

I feel like I am drowning. My mom’s first year anniversary is coming up, things are not good at home with my dad and sister, I am about to breakup with my SO, and deeply unsatisfied with my job.

My fellow 🐠 that take Zoloft:
Have you had better results taking it during the day or at night, and why? (Been on it for over a month now and can’t decide which option seems to help more, and my doctor said taking it during either time is fine.) Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
