I don't know what else to do. I have major depressive disorder. I've been on almost every medication made, been hospitalized, been through "therapy" with multiple therapists and social workers, and even had ECT, all to no avail. I'm trying to stay strong but it's getting hard.

I’m over a month sober from alcohol. I’m not in a program or anything and I’m just keeping myself busy. It’s been hard some days especially being young and single. But I’m doing what I can and improving myself slowly

My husband is an alcoholic and it’s getting worse with the holidays. He’s started every day drinking high alcohol-content IPAs as early as 8am. And he drinks them all day and all night like soda. He did AA when he was younger but is now vehemently against it. He is high-functioning. Has a PhD from MIT and works for a venture capitalist firm. I wondered how he gets through the day, but he started to come home early (mid-afternoon) and immediately open a beer while working. What should I do?

Any acupuncturist recommendations in Chicago?

Hi Fishes,
I am really looking for some serious advice to cope up with a cracked tailbone. I broke mine during a horse riding incident.

Now, I am getting seriously overweight, in fact, on the verge of getting obese, and this injury right now is pretty much killing the 2022 dream.

I do walk right now, oddly at a slow pace, for about 3-4 km each day. If there any kind of strength training I can introduce in my regimen to err not feel all so depressed with the way I am in for.

Anyone else get your workout in this morning! Feels A M A Z I N G to start the day.

Is it ok to eat carbs for every meal when you are trying to lose weight? I’m talking about one slice of toast or 40 g of rice. Or should you eat carbs only during the days you workout.

Weird that COVID19 didn’t disappear today. So strange.

I didn’t have the egg retrieval yet, but the IVF nurse that called me to give instructions happened to be someone I know personally. Is it possible to request to change the IVF nurse? I don’t feel comfortable with this person being present during my egg retrieval. Our interactions will be so awkward afterwards. What is the chance that happens? Such a small world

Concerning, as a pediatrician, to think about the effect this pandemic will have on young minds used to seeing faces and interacting with the world

Now the CDC says teachers don’t need vaccine shots to reopen schools?

Sex after positive beta? Not sure when it’s allowed again.

Is going to a small firm actually worth it for WLB or is it just taking a pay cut to have substantially the same hours/stress levels? Considering a move to a smaller firm for mental health but not sure if it’ll end up being more of the same.

I saw a great thread online about a Black physician who saved the day when a patient came in for an urgent MRI, but had metal pins in her wig so none of the white nurses or doctors could get it off. Black Physician rushed in with some alcohol and got it off in no time. We are crucial to the healthcare field for so many reasons, remember that!

So I was supposed to do an FET in a couple weeks but the baseline ultrasound showed a cyst that the doctor says might ovulate so they have to cancel the cycle. I was on birth control for 10 days leading up to the baseline. Any idea how this could happen? Also have PCOS so ironically I don’t usually ovulate.

I've struggled a lot with my ADHD in my new position. Lately I've had some really good days and done good work. I know I should be happy about it, but my thoughts keep getting negative, like I know it won't last. Do you guys ever get imposter syndrome like this? How do you deal with it?

Anyone know where I can get some face masks? None of the CVSs and Walgreens I went to had them. Doesn’t need to be N95 and I just need to wear them when going to grocery.

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

Does anyone have any recommendations on personal trainers? Currently workout at equinox but can’t justify the premium they have on their trainers.

Prediction 3: People will adopt practicing washing hands and legs prior to entering homes across the world .

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers

Feel like I’ve got the workplace ‘yips’ at the moment, confidence at an all time low. Anyone got any advice to help pull me out of it ?

Hi all,

Hoping someone could advice on it. I recently accepted a job offer and it has been discussed and confirmed via email/phone that my starting salary is £26k and will raise to £28k after 6 months probationary period. Now, I have been sent the contract but there’s no specific statement about the £28k salary after probation.

It might be a stupid question but I am worried about raising this as an issue. Is this normal? Or is it better to ask for a revised contact with the specifics?

I am an EY employee based in Chicago and putting in my notice next week. I know EY has moved to an unlimited vacation policy but given that I am in Illinois, am I entitled to any kind of payout? I also had a substantial amount accrued last year as of Dec31st. Any advice or guidance would be really appreciated from folks who recently left the firm and were based in Illinois. Thanks.

Alright. I am very much so not an Excel genius; I have the Excel skills of your 90 year old grandma who just owns a Jitterbug. Im semi-tech savvy (young millennial), but I’m new to corporate after transitioning into my role from the classroom. Among some skills I know I need, understanding basic Excel functionality is the most immediate. Does anyone have any recommendations for a very novice look into Excel? Thank you in advance!

Where would you begin w/ setting up your own solo practice? I am a military veteran and in need of some serious help (w/ starting a business that is). It is a long story, of which I might reveal more depending on the responses in the thread. Thanks in advance for entertaining such a broad question!

Company doesn’t offer tuition assistance/reimbursement for MBA - highly considering getting my MBA. Goal would be MBB and eventually CIO at a big data company. Do I take a pause from work and get MBA?

Recently was ghosted out of nowhere by someone I really liked. Completely threw me off my game (I’m usually a very confident person). Still waking up with anxiety about it. Doing better now but still can’t help but think of what went wrong and why I wasn’t good enough

Tell me it’s ok not to want another child. Tell me that having one kid is enough and he won’t regret not having a sibling. I am not mentally ready for another child. I’m 40 years old and I’m just done. I like where I’m career wise, life wise. I feel horrible about lying to my spouse. But I can give so much more to this one child than to two.

I have very low self esteem and just find it hard it hard to believe in myself. Any advice on getting over this? It has become really tiring for me to always seek for reassurance from the people close to me or the people I work with. Like I don't ever feel that I am good enough.

I am very very anxious today. Deadlines coming up and I have an interview with a company that I really like coming up tomorrow. I have practiced 9 cases in the past 3-4 days. Could see my casing skill progressed a lot but still not at the advanced level that is needed for this firm. Please send advice on how to stay calm and how to practice cases interview more effectively. 😭

I’m getting married in two weeks and going on my honeymoon the week after. I’m starting to worry so much about everything that could go wrong and derail everything, one of our parents getting sick, my fiancé or I getting sick so that we can’t enjoy this wonderful life moment. I’m so nervous that something will happen. Anyone else go through this pre-wedding anxiety or pre-vacation anxiety? Need some soothing words I can repeat to myself. Thanks!

What's causing me so much stress about work? How can I slow my heart down? Sunday PM is a nightmare walking into the week.

Please help!

I’m really struggling mentally. The understanding of how insanely busy and overwhelming it will be because of this COVID-19 crap is giving me severe anxiety and panic attacks. I want to leave so badly but no one is hiring right now. I don’t know what to do. I feel trapped with no way out.

I am realising that “being happy at work” is a myth, and the whole love what you do stuff is also BS. Novelty wears off eventually. I guess job/work is something I’ll have to do if I want to be able to afford the luxuries of life and I’ll need to find happiness elsewhere. Does anyone else feel the same way? I don’t want to be negative but I feel I need to change something somewhere.

Dealing with post partum dep/anx. On my 5th day of Zoloft 50mg for the first time and the days are still really really hard. Is it the side effects? How long before I should feel somewhat better/normal? Really struggling today. Any insight into your experience would mean a lot.

It’s my birthday this weekend. I am in a new city, don’t have any friends here, and separated from the boy I moved here for. I had weekend project work planned to keep my mind off the fact that I’m alone. But the work just got cancelled.

It just feels like everything is against me lately. Last year, I went to key west and partied with my friends. This year I just want to hide from the world that seems to get harder and harder to get through the day.

So, my timing isn't what it used to be. I left the firm in January after I had a real talk with myself and admitted that this was not what I wanted to do and was not at all good for my mental health.

23M here. Anybody have any tips or book recommendations on not feeling haunted by your past and anxiety about the future and consistently stay in a “FLOW STATE”.I’m currently reading the Power of Now. I have a habit of burning bridges because I feel that I’m perpetually trying to fit in and act “cool”. I feel that I’ve always been somewhat unconfident but every year it seems to be more and more difficult to manage and taxing emotionally. I go to the gym 4 times a week, try to eat clean, socializ

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Chest pain from stress? Is that a real thing?

Friends - facing weird neurological and anxiety symptoms, but remains a mystery what it is. Wondering if this is an anxiety disorder or stress hyper stimulation or vestibular issue. Hoping to hear about your symptoms with anxiety disorders or if you have symptoms similar to mine. My symptoms: tinnitus in ears, jittery sensation in morning, light dizziness, slight balance issue, tension headache, slight numbness / diffused sensation in left toes/ left fingers, occasional pain in left knee.

Has anyone been able to get prescribed anti-depressants during COVID? I’m struggling so much right but not sure how this will work out with telemedicine, etc. I don’t have a primary therapist.

I really struggle with sharing any personal hardships with anyone, including my wife. Anyone else the same way? Why is it so hard to open up?
