Is it true that burn more calories than you consume when you eat celery sticks because of the thermic effect it has on the body? In that case, would eating celery sticks all day be considered a good weight loss strategy?? I could definitely do that because I actually like the taste of celery!

Quit the booze back in September. It mostly hasn't been that hard but I can't get a grip on my emotions this week. Feeling overwhelming sadness for no real reason. (Cont)

Do you share your struggles of depression and/or anxiety with your parents/family? Especially when not living with them.
Should I be? It's a lot of effort to sound ... happy or normal on the phone. But don't want to make them worry either.

Just got my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. The pain is unbearable. Help!!!

Are there any virtual races we can enter for a 10k or half? Or anything competitive other than spending 2k on a peloton and waiting 6 months for delivery?

I’m afraid I’m emotionally unavailable and that by the time I figure out how to be emotionally available I’ll have lost the good guy I’m currently with. I love this guy with my head but not my heart. But also my heart feels dead in general so 🫠. I’m already in therapy. What if this is as far as I can go in terms of emotional capacity? I am stressed.

That is all.

toronto folks (gta, too… im desperate), how should i go about finding a family doctor? havent had one since high school under parental care, and emailed a handful from this govt link but all either no capacity or no response. much appreciated 🙏

Are any of you on Lexapro or similar antidepressants? I was just prescribed it for anxiety and am curious how it’s worked for you?

When did you decide to get medicated? I have what I’d call “high functioning” depression and anxiety. See a therapist and all, but still deal with lows that seem hard to overcome for weeks on end - losing interest, hard to focus on work, sleeping difficulties, etc. Hard to tell when to make that decision!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Can we pin a post with recommendations for professionals and therapists that you can trust in your geographic location? If so, I’ll start in the comments with my recommendation.

Anyone know of a good massage therapist that is not terribly expensive? The one I go to went out of business and I'm desperate

Any recommendations for a therapist that understands high stress/high demand professions, and whose recommendations don’t include “just turn off of your phone or try not responding to emails”? Bonus points if they understand ADHD as well.

Anyone have senior leadership bragging to the trade press this week about how great their agency is at handling staff’s mental health when in fact they’re personally responsible for leaving disaster in their wake?

So I started a new job a few months ago at an agency. Though my work performance is good I have been extremely stressed and anxious nonstop since day one. The work pace and load is significant. Even my spouse can tell a difference in me. The pay is good, but at what point is your mental health worth more than a paycheck? Is this new job blues or is this a sign of toxicity? Should I stay or should I go?

Anyone do yoga as their primary form of physical activity? I love doing it, but to me, it doesn’t seem nearly as beneficial as doing cardio or strength training. My personal goal is to lose 8-10 lbs.

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?

Hey everyone,
Is there any portal for IBM ex-employee where they can raise their concern or requests?

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues
