How do you all manage exercise and meds? I take vyvanse and have a peloton, but am kinda scared of the heart rate increase combination. I find the vyvanse takes about 2h to kick in and so I try to take it by 6am otherwise I’m dealing with the “hitting me” feeling when at work (which has resulted in some really embarrassing situations). In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!

Feeling a bit down after a negative pregnancy test today - we’ve officially passed the six month mark of TTC. I’m 33, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid all look normal but my cycles suck.

Started at a new firm 5 months ago and I still don’t have a full workload and because of that my billing sucks. I’ve reached out to my supervising attorney, 2 partners, and even looped in someone from admin just to see if she knew if anyone needs help. I specifically say things like “can I take some work off your hands? I need more billable work” and I get a few small things but still behind on my total billables. One of the partners talked to me about my billing but I just feel stuck. Cont’d

It just won’t stop. In life or at work. In the office it seems like I can’t get ahead and every day it’s some new catastrophe I have to deal with. Outside of work it’s the same. Just one thing after another. On top of that money issues don’t help. Just can’t seem to get to a place where I’m dictating the pace of life and not having it dictated to me.

I wake up at 3 AM everyday for 2 years and can’t go back to sleep till 6 AM, I go a therapist, he listens but my condition hasn’t improved since a year. Any suggestions?

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Recently diagnosed with Cyclothymia by a psychiatrist. My therapist suspects I have bipolar 2.

I have really been working on myself to start dating and I met someone who seemed pretty cool, but within two dates dropped some massive baggage. His ex was pregnant and it turned out after it was born he found out it wasn’t his. I feel like he hasn’t really dealt with it, and he’s made some really uncomfortable comments about women that are slowly waving red flags, even though he doesn’t say anything directly about me. Would you have a conversation or run?

If you're open minded to alternatives I recommend looking into Ayahuasca. It is a plant medicine that has been used in south America for years and it can change your life. Full story in comments.
