Incoming staff in FIDS (Cyber). What kind of work should I be expecting? Also, is travel a lot?

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

My complexion and under eyes get very pigmented when I don’t sleep well. I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks and I know I should sleep more to look ok but I don’t. Any tips on looking healthy and getting some glow for brown skin? I used to get facials pre covid but can’t anymore.

My wife and I just had our second child, and we have also been dealing with her cervical cancer diagnosis. It has been a stressful year, to say the least.

What is something low cost I can do that will be a nice “couples thing” so we can de-stress, but also make her feel special?
