Has anyone here dealt with PTSD anxiety after a really intense experience? How did you hold it together and heal while having to work in a fairly high-pressure environment - meds, CBT, any other tips?

Anyone here take classes for meditation? I've tried so hard to get into it but I keep falling asleep or getting distracted. Used Calm, Headspace and Oak apps before.

Hello ladies!! Sorry for lack of engagement as I’ve been spending most of my time leading the WiT bowl. I wanted to let you know we are still on track for a speaker on February 25th. She is a certified menopause practitioner and OB/GYN. She will be answering questions live related to all topics concerning menopause and HRT. Please attend if possible!! When the event is scheduled I will post a link so you can add it to your calendars.

Hello,

I hope someone here can help me 🫶🏽. I graduated from Rutgers Business School with a double major in Supply Chain Management and Marketing, 2021. I am currently an Area Operations Manager at Amazon ( 7 months in the role). However, I am looking for a better opportunity.

I feel burned out working 14/15 hours a day and only getting paid for 10hrs. With no motivation to go to work, my mental health it’s not where it needs to be because there’s always so much drama in my work place.

8 weeks pregnant, no sign of morning sickness. Should I be scared?

Has anyone ever gone on disability at a law firm where you’re the only paralegal to the partner of the firm? I’m worried I’ll be replaced while I’m out or that I’ll be letting him down. I’m already behind on my workload so I can imagine how backed up and out of touch I will be when I come back. I don’t want to let him down. I’ve been with the firm 5 years and I’m really his right hand. But I am concerned about it.

At what point do you decide to switch labs when IVF isn’t working. I’ve had one cycle so far, and 2 FETs with an AA and AB embryos (both genetically tested), and no luck yet. No underlying infertility issues (doing IVF for genetic reasons) so I’m kind of confused as to why I’m not having success. I have one AB embryo left and if that doesn’t work I don’t know if I should stick with the same RE/lab or go somewhere else? Like how do you know if it’s you or them that’s the problem?

FYI:

Hi there, is anyone on here from MHP North America? How is it going? Is the business strongly affected by Covid?
Thanks in advance

So I knew this coming but… how do you manage to inject yourself the trigger shot? Do you have your partner do it? Im so scared😱

Decided I finally want to try to get back into shape after years of neglect. I found a personal trainer a few months ago that can work around my schedule, but the quote I received last week seemed really high. It’d be 1-on-1 and at a private studio, so I knew it’d be slightly expensive, but the monthly cost is like $1,500 for 12 sessions. Is that reasonable? This is in a HCOL city.

Best way to deal with family members who treat you like the family therapist? Over thanksgiving my aunt disclosed some intense stuff to me and asked me for my help/opinion, and it was uncomfortable. I don't feel good saying just don't talk to me about stuff like that, but I also am not paid to give therapy to my own family and the things they tell me put me in weird situations with other family members. Help!

What are some good exit opportunities for someone about to be discharged?

What is a salary to live comfortably? Like no roommates, nice little living room in a popular/safe neighborhood? I make 110k and most recent apartments are minimum 1700 for 1bd. Sounds a little steep for Philly.

Anyone in Mexico City?

For anyone who practices tax lit in the US Tax Court, what’s your experience with the independent office of appeals? They don’t seem quite that “independent” to me and so far, I’ve only had one appeals officer who seemed knowledgeable and nice. It’s been a real headache. Interested to hear other people’s experience.

Balancing utilization and budget

I got laid off because of covid and need to discuss the severance package with my ceo tomorrow. Company offers 6 months, I want more as it probably will take much longer to find a new job.

I was laid off this month from a US-based company where I've been a reporter for the past 3 years or so... I live in Europe. I wonder if I'm likely to have luck with other remote-friendly US companies. Or are we already past that?

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload. I haven’t had much work on my plate even after asking many times for more than six months. I’m ready to move to a larger law firm. However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

For a Rule 45 subpoena duces tecum, can I mail it to the stat agent for a company or LLC? I took a case over from another firm and they sent subpoenas with a process server who was unable to personally deliver the subpoenas to the stat agent. I have always just mailed them.

I desperately need out of consulting and back into a normal schedule and routine. I haven’t redone my resume in awhile. Would anyone be willing to assist me in revamping my resume or review it soon

Anyone else dealing with eating disorders/what did you do about it? Have had them ever since university and consulting (expensed meals, little sleep, stress) made it way worse.

I want to overhaul my life to help reduce my depression/anxiety. I’m starting at 0 (horrible diet, irregular sleep, no exercise/sit all day, messy home, struggling at work). What are some changes you have made when you had little bandwidth that had huge affects.

Just find out my employer has been hiding a secret rubrik for how they promote people. I've been here 5 years. Already have big issues with being lied to, on account of being raised in a cult. If I can't find another job asap, I dunno what to do. This is absolutely

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?

I am blessed with so much, but yet consistently been unhappy for the past few years. I feel I dont get the love and appreciation I seek from family and marriage. At times, I feel my life should go to someone else who wants to live and I can instead leave this world. I know I will be fine eventually (dark thoughts will go away) but I am no longer interested in this life, even though I am blessed with so much.

Currently in therapy every week at lunch because that’s all my therapist had available. It’s been fine when we’re work from home, but what would you say you have every week while in the office?
