Please put a note and I would love to pray for you. God bless you all!

Hello Everyone!!
Happy Friday!
I wanted to let you know we are having a beginner meditation session next Tuesday Feb 9th from 8:30 - 9 PM EST.
You should see a reminder on Monday.
I’m very much looking forward to this event! If anyone else wants to volunteer to lead these mindful sessions please let me know as I’d love to make this a regular occurrence.

Starting on my journey to sobriety today from sex addiction. I’ve been clean from alcohol for several years but my therapist has pushed me to start attending AA meetings in addition to SAA meetings. I know I can’t overcome this alone.

I am an elementary art teacher. I am also in the national guard coming off a recent 2 year deployment my marriage is struggling, my school was unsupportive, and my 3 kids are having issues with me leaving. I took to alcohol for about a year it was a bottle of whiskey per day. I've been sober 4 months now but none of the other issues went away and it gets rough. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to go back or be gone.

How is everyone staying motivated at work while going through fertility treatments? On days when I have appts or get my period, all I want to do is google and read forums about it. My utilization is tanking (not because I’m blowing off work, but because I need to find and take on new work) but can’t get the energy to). I’ve told my manager about what I’m going through and she is supportive, but feeling guilty when I hear about how busy everyone around me is and I just can’t find the motivation.

I just learned about rejection sensitive dysphoria. It describes that feeling of severe emotional pain tied to rejection or failure. And it is associated with ADHD. This explains so much about me and how I approach the world and my job. This feels like important information although I don’t know how to use it yet.

I am membership director for a medical based fitness facility on the west side. We offer corporate partnerships. I would love to network with companies in Indianapolis!

Any good primary care docs in Shaw and or NW DC? Thank you in advance. Not looking at OneMedical.

I desperately need a vitamin for brain health (memory, focus, concentration) and something for energy. What do you use?

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.

I find it really hard to drink water but drink ton of Gatorade. Is this going to hurt my health?

TMI question but here goes - I eat a high fiber, veggie focused diet. I’ve suspected that I may have IBS surrounding cruciferous vegetables but I ignore it because I enjoy the taste of them and know they’re good for me, even if it causes me a lot of pain, gas, and bloating. The only issue now is I’m finding that I’m constipated way more often… I could definitely stand to drink more water but I’d think with a high fiber diet I wouldn’t have this problem. Is this IBS related? Any advice?

Is feeling suicidal a reason to leave work early/call out sick in the morning?

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have really been struggling with work lately. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the winter and prescribed adderall. While it helps me get up and start my day, I still completely lack motivation to actually do anything even as simple as responding to an email. Prior to the ADHD diagnosis I battled with a panic disorder for about the last decade and was prescribed xanax. However my doc didn’t feel comfortable with both scripts so I no longer (cont)

My boss started harassing me because he found out I am vaccinated against covid. What does a vaccine have anything to do with marketing?

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…

Looking for feedback from people with similar experience. If I get rejected from Amazon’s sister company (AWS/Twitch), will I be still able to apply to Amazon or is your application not accepted till the cool down period of 6months - 1 year . Appreciate any feedback.

I work in-house on a media team for a B2B organization and I’m the only person on my team who deeply understands media. Two new hires who I had zero say around hiring have both asked me basic media questions (how programmatic works, media mix and how we work with vendors). My boss has ZERO media experience and is more of a bottle neck than anything else. I’m venting here but I’m wondering if other in-house media folks have experienced this and how do you navigate it?

Is it common to get raises every review cycle brand side (every 6 months)? Like the classic 3-5%.

I feel like agency side you had to fight for a raise and here it falls on our laps automatically? I work for a tech company but not FAANG.

Anyone looking for a girlfriend? So hard to date within the tribe! Or even your son, set me up 😂

My fiancé just made Aliyah for med school. Long distance is hard but I love my job/firm culture. I wish I could stay, but I’ll need to switch to a firm that allows working abroad in a year at the latest. In a year, we get married and I make Aliyah too. I’m afraid to tell anyone at my firm. I’m also looking for American companies that pay well and allow employees to live in Israel. Thoughts? Advice?

Hi Fishes,

In my offer i see this line " We may require you to travel to other locations including in India and internationally." ,however in my earlier post I came to know that there are no travel opportunities in Telstra .Does it mean in the future I can negotiate with my manager for the travel?

A reminder to my fellow creatives - be strong and courageous.

Just discovered this bowl and wanted to say hi! I feel a little less alone now. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Do you guys volunteer as creatives at your church? I feel like that’s work and the last thing I wanna do as a volunteer. Give me anything else. How do you guys feel about this?

Hello, all. I would appreciate your prayers. I’m looking hard for work, and I need a breakthrough. I’ve had innumerable phone screeners and a few in-person interviews. Rejection is hard.

If anyone needs a prayer, put your needs on this post. I wanna pray for you.

My agency is all about booze and drugs.

I thought I was choosing a career path, not a nightclub.

Would appreciate some prayers for my husband. I could tell this evening he had gotten into his head on his self worth and value. He has bipolar depression which can be a strain on everyone. Thank you.

How does Christians feel about therapy sessions? Should we be taking our problems to therapists and psychologists or should we take them to God and pray about it?

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.

Getting interviewed in 2 great agencies.

Please pray for me.

Do you remember any case of a Christian Church winning awards with its work?

Thank you for starting this bowl. I come from a strict Christian background and it’s becoming hard to reconcile my faith with agency life. I never used to drink, now I am borderline alcoholic. Need 🙏🏼🙏🏼

trying to wake up every morning and give thanks for the good in my life. I spent so much of the past few years focused on all that was wrong or didn’t go according to my plan. thankful

Is there a church that is popular with people in advertising?
