I’m going through a bit of rough spell. In a job that I don’t really enjoy ; struggling to find love and find it really hard to make new friends. I’m making a conscious effort on all these areas . . .

What would you do if you expressed concern to your manager about your work/life balance because you have two children in two different schools, both play sports and you’d like to ... continued below

Hey Folks, My dad has US visitor visa and in past he visited us alone but had several issues during his stay ( he has multiple preexisting conditions) This time I want to find a way to bring his caretaker with him for the duration of his stay. My dad can sponsor the visa. Just want to check if someone has gone through this process ? is there a way to sponsor a visa for someone who is not your relative.

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

An honest confession. I am 35 years old female, married to a guy and have 1.5 year old son. I know I like females and often have those dreams where I see myself with some female or the other. Contd..

I miss truly being excited about someone, getting the butterflies and all. Being excited about your day all because you will get to see someone… must be one of the best feelings in the world.

Is anyone married to someone who feels a cultural duty to support extended family? Spouse feels obligated to provide for parents, aunts, and uncles—money, time, and effort—while putting our relationship and our finances on the back burner. Will extended family always come first?

Anyone here practice family law around the Baltimore area, to be able to represent a friend of a friend on custody issues?

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

What are best places /sites to find out professionals who have never been in relationship before (cultural requirement ) and looking for serious relationship , marriage and open for interfaith apart from Christian mingle or any other religion based site ?Any suggestions

Alright so I have been with my partner for several years and recently she said that she wants to get married. Im Happy with what we have now and don't feel the need to get married. Why do people get married? People all around us are getting married and engaged and I feel like that is weighing on her but when we drown all that out and it's just us we are happy!

Miss my ex 😩

I have a baby of 15 months. She is very introvert and start crying if any of friends comes to visit. Can any one suggest things what I can do to make my baby extroverted?

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

Hi everyone, first timer here. Having some issues w. our 4 yo being pushed around and bullied at preschool. He’s really sad and upset. He’s also super shy & introvert. Any advise? Pep talk? Discuss with teacher?

Every day of my life feels the same. The monotony of my job and taking care of the young kiddos is just the same over and over. I love my kids dearly (my job not so much) but I think this never ending repetition is impacting my mental health. Anyone else go through similar feelings or have any advice?

If you could go back and start over would you still choose this path? Or would you choose a different career and/or a different time to have children? I accidentally became a working parent in law so while I love my job and my children I don't think I would have planned it quite like this.

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.

Every manager at Alphabet probably passed out with relief once Warren dropped out. No big breakups for now.

Looking like I'm moving to Houston early next year from DC for work. Any favorite neighborhoods for someone in their late 20s? Priorities are really just good food/bars. Would love to be in the $2-2.5k range.

I am an engineer, but want to get another degree in biology. But even though it's my passion I'm worried that I won't be able to get a job quickly, I have a loan to study and I'm too young to declare bankruptcy. Any hope?

Off topic but does anyone have experience in starting something of their own in the US while on a H1 visa? Would love to get some insight into the experience/path taken.

Can someone help I am clinical data manager would like to know what is package of senior CDM please?

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??

So the National Consumer Helpline really works.
I had filed a complaint against Goibibo, who delayed my flight cancellation request until 1 day before departure hence the airline charged a higher cancellation amount.

A friend of mine introduced me to the portal when I filed a complaint explaining the matter in detail, uploading Twitter DM screenshots, where the company was clearly denying responsibilities on the above.

Took 2 months but today my refund was initiated by Goibibo.

Newer manager here (18 moths). Recent org announcements and hiring holds have put major stress on my team. Some are hyper focused on all the bad, how do I get buy-in that this is temporary and we still have a job to do? I feel it’s more important than ever to show value vs being task takers.

How much less does an associate make at Constangy vs. one of the 4 Big L&Es?

Does anyone know what a senior manager and director make at PWC in the UK? (assurance specifically, if it matters). Thank you so much in advance!

Any trainings that you all would recommend requesting from your agency?

Is it just me or does consulting really make you insecure about yourself - doing the best you can but can it ever be enough? Also, what’s with all the optics and crazy judgment all the time?

Thinking of getting the semicolon tattoo as a reminder to myself of my growth, but at the same time I am afraid that if seen on the job I will get questions I do not want to answer

I'd want it (cont)

I’ve been reflecting and realized I have a lot of unhealed trauma and my mind is just fucked. Sometimes I wish my brain was normal like other people. So tired of the attachment, obsession, rumination, anxiety, depression. 😔 So much work to do and meds to take just to try and be a normal person.

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?

Has anyone tried a weighted blantet such as gravity? Would you recommend it to have a more relaxed sleep?

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to share something with you all that has helped my anxiety and overall well being. I started doing 10 minute mindfulness meditations daily and it has been the biggest game changer. I find so much more calm and peace throughout my day. I even do it in the middle of the work day if I feel myself getting reactive. I use the calm app (they send you 40% off the 1 year subscription) and they have great material! Hope this helps. Have a blessed day everyone!

Has anyone suffered from frequent panic attacks and got it to stop or found a mechanism to avoid triggers ? What type of therapy is best suited for panic attacks !?

Anyone have recommendations of Talkspace vs. BetterHelp?
Also, how did you all get over the hump of talking about very personal feelings with a stranger? I’ve never done therapy before, and it’s...

Don’t know what to do - advice please.
Thought it was burnout with the kids. Have cut back to 4 days, husband takes kids one day… now I realise I’m still depressed. Is it loneliness? Deep depression (I’m on lithium already)… I mean what is it? And how do I find friends when I’m miserable?

My roommate is depressed and won’t really talk to me much lately. I asked them recently how they’re feeling because I’ve noticed they’ve been sad and they admitted they’re depressed. I Invite them to do stuff and they turn me down. We are pretty close but they told me they just want to deal with it alone yet I want to help. I’m just not sure what to do and I feel guilty for feeling sad that they don’t want to hang out with me. Any advice?
