I live in Chicago, the rest of my family is in the San Francisco Bay area which has been hit pretty hard with the coronavirus. I can travel to San Francisco tomorrow, should I?+

No you shouldn’t! It’s a natural reaction to be with family but it’s much too late now and you risk infecting them with the virus if you pick it up during your travels.

This is a tough spot to be in OP, I’m really sorry you’re there. If it were me, I wouldn’t go. Right now, there’s nothing you can do if you were there that you can’t do with regular calls and FaceTimes. If something were to happen, I know there would be nothing stopping me from getting back home, plane, trains or automobiles. Do what you think is best, but I wouldn’t act until I absolutely had to.

I’m afraid that if I don’t go now and something happens to my mom who is in her 70s I won’t be able to fly there in a couple days or a week. At the same time I know it’s irresponsible of me to fly back to Chicago so I have to put my life here on hold at least until this blows over

I’m sorry, OP. This is tough and was also me last week. People thought I was overreacting when I said I was going to fly home to the parents and...here we are. That being said, I’m extremely glad to be here. I would follow suggestions and drive if you can.

Second this! Might take you two days but just keep some clorox wipes in the car and wipe down at gas stations, you'll drastically reduce your contact with other and drastically reduce the risk of spreading to family, I totally understand wanting to be with family and given your moms age I feel this is the best course of action

I would also stay away from her the first few days - you can still spread it without showing symptoms

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
