Does anyone have an indoor greenhouse cabinet? Looking for pros/cons/would you do it agains and any tips getting started. Trying to decide if it’s overkill and I’ll regret giving up that space in my townhouse. I’m just getting into rare aroids, the fussy, and the weird, so trying to create a space that’s good for rehab/troubleshooting and propagation.

Hello!

I believe I am depressed and my therapist told me that I am showing signs of depression. I worked very hard to get my current job in July 2021 and currently, I am not liking what I do for work. I also had a hard break up in May 2021. From May - July 2021 I developed eating disorders and I hardly ate one meal a day. Right now, I am on the other extreme. I eat a lot, crave junk food and I don't exercise. As soon as I get done with work at 5, I start binge watching movies/series. Cont.

What's your go-to work music? Or do you work better in complete silence? I can't work in silence without my brain getting loud, so I listen to house music or jazz while I work. My sister (who also has ADHD) can't get anything done unless it's dead silent. Just wondering what works for others

Did anyone learn meaningful ways to deal with stress during the pandemic? Sometimes I feel like I have mild PTSD from how intense everything was. People would not believe the things that pharmacists have had to endure the past few years, really

So when I was young, I laughed so hard at a joke and accidentally stabbed myself with a mechanical pencil to my forehead. I freaked out and pulled the lead out of it but a little bit of the lead was left. I can still see it 13 years later. Can’t sleep so I thought of that and was wondering, will it have any consequences in the future?

Anyone willing to share their experience w Zoloft (starting, ending, if you had alcohol during, etc) ? May be starting medicine treatment for the first time and would love to learn about some personal experiences

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?

Need some advice, expecting an offer from McCann Health next week. Does anyone have any insight on salary bands for Group Art Sup (HCP). The range on glassdoor is really promising but not sure how valid those numbers are.

Just had my 20 week anatomy scan and all was normal for both baby boy and baby girl <3. I feel like I can finally start to celebrate! :) #IVF

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Any WFM nurses out there? Better work-life balance??

Perhaps not directly relevant, but I have a difficult family background. Never known my dad, my mom had serious drug/mental health issues. Grew up with grandparents and aunt & uncle. Somehow I miraculously did well in school and ended up in big law. For Christmas I plan on faking quarantine to explain why I’ll be alone, though I want to be more upfront with colleagues, friends and potential partners, but I’m afraid my story will appear off-putting to them. Or will it reflect positively on me?

Taking Platform App Builder soon, any tips?

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

Has anyone here had a difficult recovery post-egg retrieval? It’s been 3 days and I’m still in a lot of pain. The medical team said I should expect to be uncomfortable for 5-7 days or more due to the high number of eggs retrieved (=very swollen ovaries) and it will take 2 weeks to get back to normal.

Anyone have embryo genetic results where everything was normal but the gender portion?

Feeling a bit down after a negative pregnancy test today - we’ve officially passed the six month mark of TTC. I’m 33, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid all look normal but my cycles suck. They will regularly stretch into the 40 - 50 day range but OB seems really unconcerned. I keep getting the “it’s totally normal to take this long” 😕 I’m scared we’ll waste a year just to find out there is a problem.

Has anyone had a D&E? 21 weeks pregnant and after meeting with several specialists the verdict is that we need to terminate for medical reasons 😞. Aside from the obvious emotional devastation, I am trying to figure out what to expect physically?
