Hmmmm....I’m currently out right now, and bars are practically at 100% capacity. It feels like city is “recovering” - still not sure if I feel safe taking my mask off (I’m vaccinated)

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

My depression tends to get really bad in January. This year I can’t engage in my job at all, I feel bombarded on every side. How do you cope? Do you communicate it to a superior?

9/27 check-in: What are everyone’s plans for today?

For me- treadmill, shoulders, chest.

If I forget to click that I’m doing a “run” in activity app on my Apple Watch, would the watch still capture the appropriate number of active calories?

Anyone dealt with early second trimester miscarriage with PGT normal embryos after FET? We transferred two AA normal embryos-- one was a blighted ovum and just lost the other early in second tri. If you have, what did you do differently the next time around for more success? Getting old and just crushed at losing both our normal embryos and 6-9 months.

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

I hate my current job (no longer at BCG). Have been interviewing but no offers except for current one, which I was originally relatively excited about until I heard the numbers. Worse than my current role at this toxic company. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I’m feeling very depressed, hopeless, and worthless. I don’t want to stay here but I also don’t want to take a step back. I feel like either is just more misery and that my life is falling apart.I just want to end it all.

I never understood why lawyers use so much drugs until I became a partner. I use adderal to stay up for 18 hours a day and a lot of pot to relax and sleep at night. I know understand why drug use is a thing in this profession

I’m getting married in two weeks and going on my honeymoon the week after. I’m starting to worry so much about everything that could go wrong and derail everything, one of our parents getting sick, my fiancé or I getting sick so that we can’t enjoy this wonderful life moment. I’m so nervous that something will happen. Anyone else go through this pre-wedding anxiety or pre-vacation anxiety? Need some soothing words I can repeat to myself. Thanks!

Anyone here depressed? Have you ever talked to a professional about it? Thinking about it but don't know how to go about it or if it's safe to talk to someone through the firm

Anyone else uncomfortable spotting women at the gym? When asked, I say yes as I know it’s not easy asking for help, but the responsibility to make sure she is safe & comfortable, is a lot for me. 😩

I’m trying to go back to the basics. How do you guys structure thoughts around identifying the correlation between 2 variables? A basic example: the number of steps I take in a day and the hours of sleep I got that night.

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

I’ve hesitated posting because I don’t now what I’m asking of you all. But here goes. I froze my eggs a few years back and got 5. I’m now married and yesterday I froze another 2. Low numbers I know. I’m in my 40s. This week we make embryos- with 7. And I guess I’m just anxious. What if nothing. What if abnormal. What if something but they don’t transfer. Do I risk n carry myself (terrified of pregnancy btw). My mind is racing. Anyone been through this with such low numbers- anyone in your 40s?🙏🏽

Just got back from an 8 week scan and there was no heartbeat. Second pregnancy in a row. Not sure how many more times I can do this.

What made you feel life was “worth it” again?

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

I have been living in my midtown apt (condo) since Sep 2021. There wasn’t a COVID discount when I signed. Lease is ending 8/31/2022. I would love to sign another year and stay. What’s the best way to navigate this for the lowest amount of price hike? I don’t think it is rent stabilized.

My landlord has multiple apts and has not mentioned price inc. to me yet. Doesn’t seem to be on top of things. Heard there is a 30 day notice rule for landlords to increase rent by more than 5%. Please advise!

Has anyone successfully negotiated a flexible lease break clause into their rent stabilized lease? Rent stabilized units wont lower rent and aren’t allowed to do month to month. I’d like to resign but only if I have a way out mid way if needed (e.g. give them 30 days notice).

I want to live in a fixer upper questionably legal apartment in a desirable area (basement is ok). This would give me the opportunity to design my own space while having cheap rent since the place will suck. How can I go about finding this diamond in the rough🥰🥰
