Has anyone taken short-term or long-term disability for anxiety/depression? I’ve been trying to find resources, but I’m not sure where to begin. I’m days away from walking into oncoming traffic. 😔

@OP how are you doing?

I've been thinking about you and wanted to check in

That’s a very serious thing. So there are a couple of things you can do. You can enlist the help of a psychologist to help you. Use your medical insurance directory to compare to yelp or some form of scoring online so you can find someone for you. You can speak to your HR rep in confidence and see what can be done from their side to ease your issue, it might be something as simple as changing hours or moving things to someone else to ease load. Alternatively, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1.800.273.8255) for someone who can help you if you feel like it’s gotten to be too much.

I am on short-term disability for bipolar disorder now

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Is sticking up for yourself even worth it? My boss is always on my ass as if I’m constantly missing, or about to miss, deadlines. I’ve never missed one. I’ve received the same damn lecture/email about monitoring all case deadlines a hundred times. I always just professionally explain that we’re not about to miss any and discuss the progress. Well, I’ve about had it and am ready to go off. I’m sick of basically being told that I’m not doing my job. How should I address this issue?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
