I can’t figure out this vibe I’m getting from my new therapist. They were resourceful and were able to put me in the right direction for 2 of the issues i had. But at the same time I feel like they behave a bit bossy. Ask me to send them a zoom link, etc. When I’m trying to make an appt they would say X day/hour is the only time I can offer me this week. Then when i decline, they come back & say they were able to extend their schedule for me and can offer Y time now (which works for me).

Anyone got a lasik surgery in the Atlanta metro area in the last few years? I am thinking of getting one and interested in knowing more about where to get it from, your experience and other feedback. Thank you.

My motivation is waning for a lot of my work tasks, which recently have been pretty mundane. Either I need something new or this pandemic is just weighing on me extremely heavily. any tips to re-motivate myself?

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

For those who've done Lasik in Chicago, any recommendations? I'm debating between LasikPlus and Kraff

How predictable is IVF vs conceiving naturally? Would we theoretically have more control in a sense of getting pregnant exactly when we want to (give or take a few months) by having frozen egg/embryo ready to go in advance? Trying to plan around a very strict residency timeline is tough

25M, unmotivated to work out because I’m so weak and scrawny. I can’t really develop a habit because I just get discouraged being the weakest person in the entire gym. I don’t really feel comfortable around free weights and I don’t want to waste a personal trainers time either.

Any advice to break this vicious cycle?

When using the 4A’s Wrap Insurance program through DeWitt Stern do you need to ask them to name additionally insured on the COI or is the agency automatically covered? How do you typically handle this?

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Anyone used bloom app for self CBT therapy? Is it good?

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

I just started training with United HealthGroup for Medicare. I have previous experience in Medicaid-- quite a different role, but similar. I'm so nervous about how complex Medicare can be. Any suggestions or advice? I'm not exactly a dumb-dumb but nor am I the sharpest knife in the tool box.

About month ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and had to go through cardiac catheterization to get a stent.
I am in mid 30s and it's unbelievable that i have got this. Have been quite down mentally for last few weeks, and don't think if I can sustain the consulting life anymore.
I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

Getting lonely in NYC! Trying to meet some fun and interesting women. DM me. 34 M🐠 here

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

Posted about this a while back but didn’t get a definitive response. I have a bunch of Manhattan prep GMAT books from the past few years that have little to no writing in them. There’s probably 20 of them so pretty heavy but I’m looking to give this away to someone for free. Only thing is I asked for you to take all of them versus just a few. I live in downtown Manhattan near the stock exchange and hoping to give by the 24th. Thanks!

Looking for a beach volleyball partner/group to play with at least twice a month - intermediate level. Anybody interested or knows somebody that knows somebody?

Thinking of moving out of Manhattan. I’m a native New Yorker, but longing for some real outdoor space and to get a car again. I’m in my early 30s, and considering kids in the next few years (so the reality of not being able to set up here forever/afford private schools, etc. is real). Welcome all suggestions on neighborhoods ppl love that are still commutable. Yes, I’d love a brownstone in Park Slope, but totally out of budget. Looking for something around 750k or less that checks all the boxes.

Anyone in downtown bk or Williamsburg wants to join our board game group?

We are currently a group of 3, but one person is moving to west coast soon, which reduces our board game options and complexity!

We tend to hangout with limited groups of friends and meet up at least every other week. So ideally just want to find 1-2 more like-minded people to join us.

If you are interested, please leave a comment with what are your top 3 board games and a description of your personality :)
