Question: How do you get your heart rate down?
Perspective: I am 24 and run 25 miles a week. My average heart rate is usually 175 but gets up to 200 (worrisome). My heart rate recovery is 55-75 after three minutes. I just don’t understand why my heart rate gets so high if I’m healthy. Am I breathing wrong?

My doctor who I’ve been seeing for a very long time told me it’s fine to hold off getting the vaccine being that I’ve already had it, im young, and healthy. Think I’m going to listen to him as opposed to y’all “consultants”.

How many times a week do you work out? For how long?

I really really want to get a foot massage but for some reason I feel bad getting one. Like the idea of paying someone just to rub my feet feels demeaning and no matter how much I tip, it won’t alleviate that feeling (totally different than when a guy I’m with does it lol). Anyone else feel that way about some kind of service you can pay for?

Anyone that works at Anthem or United Health Group able to tell me how or what they’re looking for in a therapy reviewer. I’ve applied to numerous positions… and nothing. I’ve even kept ATS in mind but haven’t gotten much of a response.

How do you guys deal with megalomaniacs at work?

For those of you that have kids, would you go back to traveling before the vaccines come out? I’m dying to get back on the road but realistically, I can’t imagine putting such risk on my family :(

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

Has anyone cashed out a term life policy? Any hiccups? What was your experience?

Hi all! Could use some help. I’ve been working out consistently (mostly elliptical and lifting weights) and I’ve been eating well but my weight is not dropping. I know I’m building muscle but I’d also like to drop a lot of lbs too. For context, I weigh 205 lbs but I don’t “look it” (idk what this means but that’s what everyone tells me) as I am curvier and have large hips. Are there specific workouts I should be focusing on to drop the lbs? I’m tired. 😭

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

So was talking to this girl (we’re both mid late twenties) i met thru mutual friends and we hung out a few times/ texted a lot.

What days does your firm close for the holidays? Are you all working on January 2nd?

(I don't want to be a task master, but as an associate, I was expected to work a half day on the 24th, and a half day on the 31st. I'm closing the office 23rd and 26th this year, but currently listed as open on Jan. 2nd).

I was called into HR because a coworker overheard a conversation between me and another colleague taking about cable/streaming shows that we watched or recorded. I mentioned that I recorded a few true-crime shows. My colleague jokingly said, "I hope I'm not on your hit-list!". I replied, "Not anymore." HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

My parents have done a lot for me, but are biased toward my other sisters ( such as mom buying them more expensive gifts than me on my occasion ) .. I feel bad about this whole thing when I notice that she cares more about them than me. As a parent myself I guess it’s impossible to be completely equal with all kids, so I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable and wrong in feeling hurt . Would like to learn from others experiences and perspective

I always wanted to leave for a more prestigious firm just to prove to myself that I’m “enough” and am “better” than before. Now that I got the offer I’m debating - I don’t know if I’ll ever be happy.

I've had a really pensive, emotional day. Just had a huge moment of growth where I was able to identify a trauma pattern I had learned and I stopped and decided to teach myself something healthier.

It's hard and uncomfortable, but it is growth, and I'm really proud of myself. I can't wait to look back on this moment and pat myself on the back, but I'm trying to get better at doing that in real-time.

Just dropping this note to encourage anyone who is in a similar spot. This work is worth it!

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…
