Hi all, I think I’m just in a funk from Lupron side effects and just feel down. Any tips on how to keep your mood up? I tried exercising but the meds got me so exhausted I almost passed out doing a 20 min easy peloton ride. Any suggestions welcome!!

No advice but just here for solidarity. Lupron was the absolute worst. Made me feel depressed and exhausted, and made my hair fall out. But once I got off it, I went back to normal pretty quickly.

also in the Lupron funk 🙃 acupuncture has been helping me and tea. Don’t feel guilty about taking naps whenever you feel like you need them, even if it’s only two hours after you wake up (totally have done that) - your body is going through so much right now. Also, maybe something spontaneous or an activity you love? my husband surprised me w baseball tickets to cheer me up (I’m a huge fan), and even though I was exhausted, headache, and nauseas, it ended up being the BEST distraction and made me really happy. I also have been trying to put my phone in another room for pockets of the day - I love Instagram, but found it was making me feel a bit more down these days while going through all of this.

Not sure if any of that helps, but hang in there!! ❤️❤️

Thank you! It actually really helped reading this, you have no idea! I’m doing it alone but tried a nap and had a friend take me out and it felt great. Thank you for being so kind.

Has anyone ever asked to be taken off of an account or project? For months, I've been working with the most difficult client with the most vicious attitude. Most of what they're frustrated about isn't even our fault. I was recently promoted and don't want to make myself look bad, but the thought of doing more work for them makes my stomach turn. Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired. To add before the surgery, I was given one dose of methotrexate and my hemoglobin tanked from 13.8 to 10.8 between the first blood test ( May 1st week) and the last ( June 1st week). I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).
