I am totally exploiting the “threat” of COVID to avoid going to a monthly CLE that I am supposed to be attending in person. The meeting is going on, live, in person, no masks, etc. But they still offer a zoom link. So, I’m streaming it at home (mic and camera off) while I clean the kitchen, make food, eat, and post this confession. Totally used it as an excuse to come home early and not have to go way across town in traffic.

Got a panic attack for the first time yesterday. How to handle these situations?

My MOH is probably not going to be able to attend my wedding bc of covid restrictions. Freaking out slightly because I don't have someone close enough to replace her / I don't know how viable her zooming in would be? Any advice / tips?

Every time I attempt to mediate, my mind wanders to my to-do list or other things that start stressing me out and defeat the purpose of meditating in the first place. Does this not happen to anyone else? How do you block out going to the stressful places in your brain?

Good recommendations for physical therapists in the area?

Egg nog has hit the shelves, weight gain here i come!

My husband and I want to start a family so in preparation for pregnancy I tried lowered my Vyvanse dose from 40 mg to 30 mg to see if I could get by on lower dose. I feel like I’m not even taking medicine at all. When you lowered a dose did you get used to this feeling or should I know right away that this isn’t going to work? I feel withdrawal like my brain is slow and I can’t keep a thought in my mind long enough to finish the thought. I’m on day 4 and it sucks!

Anyone noticed that with aerobic / cardio exercises it gets more difficult to focus? It is like my mind a TV and someone else gets the remote and goes through every channel every 30 seconds or so

Hi! Welcome! What are your positions in an inclusion classroom? How’s it been going so far this year?

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated. My work is scrutinized to a degree that no one else experiences (I could give concrete examples of other people delivering design work that haven’t met BASIC design principles and it’s gotten approved) compared to me where I frequently get feedback that somehow makes my work worse but I just comply because it’s not (1/2)

Need to update my LinkedIn page. Anyone have tips on the best things to call out? Clients, projects etc?

I joined my current company 3 months ago when I suffered from depression, but I didn't tell the recruiter or anyone. Now I feel I'm really not able to contribute 100% in my current role, but I don't want to share my depression with my employer. I still need the $. Suggestion please?

Nothing infuriates me more than seeing cops pull people over at the beginning of rush hour on the Beltway. Out of all the times to do traffic stops, 4:15 on one of the nations busiest freeways is not it.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

How strong is your impostor syndrome on a scale of 1-10?

(10 being I feel like I'm a day away from being found out).

Going back to work tomorrow after a 2 week long vacation. Scared to check my emails 😭😭😭

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

Failed NNN, there’s always next year

I know we're supposed to live every day like it's our last, but damn it, after a long, stressful week of work, I'm so happy to just lay on my couch all night with some takeout and a cocktail!

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't need validation from certain people. It's hard.

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

Is it a red flag if someone says they don’t believe in self help books like Atomic Habits, Attached, etc?
