Any success stories of L-Theanine supplements? After a particularly rough anxiety attack last night, I’ve decided to try some remedies (without resorting to Ativan).

Had my second retrieval yesterday. They got three eggs and two fertilized. So far, this is the exact same thing that happened my last retrieval in January. Three total eggs, two fertilized. They weren't growing super well so we did a fresh transfer for both (and neither stuck).

Feeling a bit discouraged that the same pattern is repeating itself again. Probably will end up doing a fresh transfer for both of these embryos (again). I'm 33 with unexplained low ovarian reserve. Just sucks.

Letrozole with trigger shot and timed IC done. DPO 5. Trying again after a mms. Nervous, hopeful and everything in between. Wish i could just fast forward through this part. Also I want to do some yoga or something, can’t do hitt right now, any recommendations?

I struggle with trichotillomania in moments of high anxiety. Therapy doesn’t seem to be working… Has anything worked for anyone?

Adderall takers, how did you ask your doctor to increase tour dosage? I took 20MG IR twice a day throughout college. Did work without it a year but needed it again. Got a new doc and am getting half that amount. I don’t want to seem like I’m drug seeking but it lasts such a shorter amount for me

Can anyone share a reliable source to keep up with covid cases worldwide?

My back still hurts from last week, these fancy ergonomic office chairs seem to somehow feel worse then the regular ones...

So I’m 32 weeks. I’m finding it very difficult to breathe and it’s hard to explain. I have normal pregnancy congestion especially at night but throughout the whole day too when I breathe (not congested or through my mouth) it feels like my lungs don’t take in enough oxygen and I don’t feel like I’ve actually taken a breathe, if that makes any sense at all. I’ve also been choking a lot recently not sure if related. Anyone else or am I just weird?

Our first miscarriage at 6 weeks and we are overwhelmed by grief. I don’t know how we’re to go through each day now, knowing we have lost our little one. I’m not sure how we’re supposed to try again. There is no way I can go through this loss a second time. I’m not as strong as you all on this channel, you keep trying. I’m in awe.

Just got made redundant today, it comes by surprise I didn’t really see it coming. Now I’m lost. And I’m on Singapore with working visa until christmas. I can’t go back yet. I am depressed.

For the next lockdown I propose we do it like the last one. Meaning all unvacccinated stay home.

Got an offer for non- tech Campaign & Creative Manager and wondering if its worth it to accept. I feel like I was lowballed & downleveld despite having 6 YOE (relev. but not in tech). Not sure it is smart to leave my current role to get my foot in the door.

Was chatting with a CD at my agency and he mentioned that it’s harder for a middle age white guys like him to get a good job right now because agencies are hiring more woman and POC CDs. God that was uncomfortable. People are so not self-aware. Saying that to a minority. Really?? I bet it’s still easier for white men to get more offers than me. 🤦‍♂️

Is anyone looking to hire someone for remote work immediately? I’ll take anything. I work for a parish government and it’s sooooo hard to accrue time off. I’m an extremely hard worker. I just never have time for dentist appointments, doctor appointments, or even personal things like exercise because I spend all my time commuting and in a physical office. I can send a resume and/or CV ASAP.

Well my work gym just added Peloton and I just got my Peloton last month. I really love it so far. Not sure if I should return it now that my work gym has it? Also, I don’t plan to be with my work after summer hopefully. So maybe I should just suspend my subscription for now?

I developed job burnout after 3 years in a toxic firm environment. I left that firm and started working as an independent contractor at a different firm doing tax compliance. I started noticing myself burning out by the end of the fall tax season last year. I was super anxious and lacked focus. I just took about 6 weeks off after the fall tax season ended, but I have a lot of anxiety about my burnout returning. Any advice on what I should be doing to ensure I don’t burn out again?

Looking for treadmill recommendations. A little detail about me:

-I will use it probably 3 times a week for shorter distance walk/runs
-used to have a peloton tread+ but returned in the recall. Absolutely loved the slat treadmill on my knees/hips
-would ideally like a woodway but $$
-need it for the most basic functions & would watch tv or take peloton / Apple fitness classes on my iPad
-it will go in a garage
-not concerned about having huge incline

Thank you for your input!

Does anyone have advice on how I can start walking up earlier, ideally between 4:30-5am?

How do y’all stay awake in your demanding jobs all day? Trying to cut down on coffee/caffeine and I am DYINGGGGG

I am doing dry January (so it’s only been 10 days), but I’m surprised that I’m already seeing a difference. My skin looks better, my face isn’t as puffy and I think I’ve already lost some weight. Which makes me wonder.....how much was I drinking before that I can see this much effect, this fast 😳?

Any treadmill recommendations (that aren’t $1k)?
