Looking at My People Link for my vacation/personal/and sick hours. With the new sick policy, are y'all using all 80 hrs regardless of situation? I feel like the mentality is "use it or lose it".

Anyone have a mental health issue? If yes, does your manager know? Scared I’ll be penalized if do let them know...

I feel that former employer might have slandered my reputation. Almost a year ago, I had accepted a physical therapist position with the VA and all was going well until I get a call from their HR department saying that they had to rescind the offer due to something that came up in my background. Never been arrested or have any legal complaints filed against me. VA said I’d have to file a FOIA request. Which meant all the info was blacked out when I got the info I requested. What do I do?????

Does anyone know anything about auditory processing disorder? I had my hearing checked, and it came back normal. But something is still off. I never had hearing issues until I started working in PA. Telephone calls are the worst for me. I keep saying "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"

I realized that I am an alcoholic and ready to stop. Anyone tried aa? Does it work?

My ADHD has been a massive barrier for me in my career. I can’t stay at a job for more than 1.5 years.

My ADHD keeps me from being a consistently great performer. When I manage my ADHD, I am amazing. And when I fail to manage it, I fall short. And everyone then wonders why I can’t do my basic job responsibilities.
It’s frustrating. I am V qualified, talented and capable, but this thing is killing me. Everyone I know is getting ahead and I’m constantly struggling even though I’m ambitious.
😞

I’m like cycling between bursts of anger depression anxiety disassociation

I just learned about rejection sensitive dysphoria. It describes that feeling of severe emotional pain tied to rejection or failure. And it is associated with ADHD. This explains so much about me and how I approach the world and my job. This feels like important information although I don’t know how to use it yet.

How do you stay healthy when going out to eat with friends? I usually recommend somewhere where I can find a healthy option but don’t want to constantly dictate where we go. We also often go to restaurants with small plates and share everything, and I try to get some healthier options but also can’t dictate everything we order. I don’t want to stop going out with friends but I feel like one meal out a week can derail a whole week of heathy eating and working out.

Has anybody gone through robotic Myomectomy for fibroids and been successfully pregnant? Does it lead to any tissue scaring which may prevent you from getting pregnant?

My sister in India is struggling with IVF. What would the process be to donate an egg to her over there or get them her in the USA to do it ? Thanks a lot . Also if you know of great fertility clinics in India please recommend !

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Currently negotiating an offer with another firm. Offer is slightly better than my peers at this new firm, and is a nice bump in my total comp. I think I could probably negotiate another $10k out of the offer, but I don’t have a super credible argument or backup offer to compete it against, and $10k won’t really make a difference to me at this point. Question: is it worth pushing for it or just accepting the standing offer if I know it’s already fair and I’m happy with it?

Recently my documents was verified in Ibegin , when will I get the offer letter, please do suggest!!

Has anyone heard from Yale yet?

Hi everyone - Is anyone doing a workout program they’ve seen results from? I’m looking to tone up and lose about 10-15lbs.

I know eating is a huge part, and I do put a lot of focus on that as well. Just wanted to throw the question out in hopes of some ideas/inspiration. TIA!

Seems like the hot flashes just started getting really frequent and I haven’t slept well for weeks. Does anyone know how long this typically lasts, and do I really need to go to a doc for meds? I just finished cancer treatments a few months ago and completely over going to the doc. I’d much prefer to try supplements first. Right now it’s black cohosh, I’ll up the dose a bit see if that works

Hello! I'm reaching out to a Doctor I know who is passionate about Menopause and treatments. Hopefully she can attend a live session. Does anyone else have any other speakers in mind that I could reach out to? I know there was mention of a nutritionist and / or therapy counselor.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!

I’m curious how long people were in the peri menopause phase? I’ve read it’s an average of 4 years but I’m curious what people’s experiences are. I believe I am late stage peri menopausal and my periods have been very irregular for the past 9 months ranging 13-60 days between periods. If anyone has any studies you could point me to, I’d love to see those as well! I’m 40 and my mom entered menopause at 41.
