I know my anxiety is getting in the way of my legal work. I have writer's block every time I need to prepare pleadings or a Response. Some harsh criticism my writing skills a year ago has really gotten to me. I realize I am being ridiculous, but if rational thinking were enough to overcome anxiety then none of us would be in here. Do any of you have go to methods for conquering your anxiety and just getting the work done?

Which tracker(s) do y’all use for your health and fitness?

I’ve used an Apple Watch since 2015 and love it, but also just picked up an Oura ring for better sleep tracking. Workout tracking and general health metrics on the Apple Watch have been great.

Any quitted big 4 right after a year? I got delayed with good rating but with the reason of not getting enough experiences (I took 3 months study leave).

Silly question: When is the second trimester?

If truly 40/3 I would think 13w2d, but sources say 12, 13, and 14. You hear 12 weeks referred to as a milestone, but is that accurate?

Sharing my story: I carry an abnormal gene in which me and my wife's first child was affected. We decided with our second child to use IVF. We started our journey in January 2021 and my wife went through 4 IVF cycles using my sperm in a 9 month span (her choice). We decided after the 4th round failed to go a different route and use sperm donation to rid us of the gene. During 2022, she went through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got one that stuck. She is now 14 weeks pregnant and due in April 😊

Hoping someone can help - I got an email to collect my passport and saw my skilled worker visa has been approved but I have not received any official communication from the UKVI regarding my outcome (although my collection email said that my decision was emailed). How long does this usually take to come through?

Thanks in advance :)

Dear Amazing and incredible folk of fishbowl app, I received a HireVue interview for the 2022 New analyst position within Internal Audit at Goldman Sachs.

I will be greatly obliged if you could please share your experiences and what kind of questions I should expect. Further, do you get do overs if you start to mess up an answer? I had applied to technology audit so how much should I be prepared to talk about auditing as a service?

Once again any insights will go a long way. Thank you :)

I am an associate at a small firm and was licensed last fall. I clerked at this firm through law school, so I knew most of the partners before starting as an attorney full time, except some of the new ones we have acquired since. I have several cases that I am the only responsible attorney on and quite frankly, feel like I have no clue what I’m doing half the time. I ask questions, but feel like I’m being a nuisance if I ask too many. I guess I didn’t expect to be solely (cont. in comments)

For corporate midlevels and seniors, how many 300+ hour months did you have within your first three years? Really getting over this job and want to see what is “normal.”

I need one suggestion, I am staying in a PG which is charging me a huge rent but refusing to provide me a rent agreement. My last organization only required me to upload landlord’s Pan and rent receipts to claim for HRA exemption but here in ZS the HR told that we would be required to compulsorily provide rent agreement.
Can we create our own rent agreement or can we claim HRA exemption in ZS only by uploading rent receipts? Or the only option I am left with is to change my PG?
Please help 🙏

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

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?

New to therapy question - I had a consultation with a therapist last week where I unpacked all the shit I kind of want to work on / talked about my life / background. Am I supposed to come to the next meeting with an agenda / stuff I want to talk about or should I expect that therapist to lead? I want to reduce my anxiety overall but I’m not sure what conversations are supposed to accomplish that.

Hesitant about taking medication for my anxiety but it’s been affecting me so much lately 😭 1) do you take medication - pros and cons? 2) what helps you other than medication?

I’m really good at the work I do, but really bad at selling myself and always look like I do less than those who talk better even when I put in more hours. It sucks
