Sometimes personality just doesn’t fit what’s required of the job. That leads to further anxiety and development of depression, where the only reasonable solution is to leave a job that better suits your working style/personality

Where available, alcohol. Otherwise i came to learn that it’s all about perspective. It’s still difficult for me at this point, but when i remember i try to convince myself that I’m no less than anyone who makes me anxious. That I’m a badass and yall better think i am one!

You’d be surprised at how many very successful consultants suffer from social anxiety. Find what works for you. Maybe start the day at the gym or yoga. If some activities are too much, take a break or trade with a college. You can make it work, just know your limits and accentuate the positive

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
