How long did it take to find your group of professional friends? Even now since pre-pandemic, I still feel like a nomad.

I have one strategic communications friend I met in college. Dassit lol – and she lives far away. Has definitely been an ongoing struggle/goal of mine.

I don't have any, I just have colleagues and work associates. I leave friendships for my normal everyday life, but making friends has been difficult for me in general.

Don’t feel that way. Making friends as an adult is difficult.

I’ve connected with a lot of great through an ERG. They’ve become some of my closest friends. It was hard though because I work remotely.

Ooh I like this thread. Definitely prioritizing cultivating my tribe this year!

It is really hard! I work remotely so I don't feel like I know ANYONE. Trying to network on Linked in lately.

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things.

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

My sister might divorce with her husband, they have a baby of 1.5 year. We came from a divorce family and honestly never thought it would happen again - I feel powerless and I don’t know what to do. I feel bad for my sister but I am also mad at her (the fault is always in the middle) because they are not trying to fix it. I am also scared for the baby, I perfectly know what it means to grow up in a divorce family and as much as parents are present is not the same.

My friend invited me to hang out with her and her friends because I was feeling very sad about my breakup. Three of her friends end up hitting on me and just really invading my personal space. I honestly thought they had a joke or game of some sort. I tell my friend it makes me uncomfortable because it’s not something I’m looking for atm. She says I should take it as a compliment, but the only thing I feel is disgust that I now have to look forward to guys only wanting me for my body 😔
