Get vaccinated so that you don't bring the flu into your home to spread through everyone.

I try to limit my exposure to large groups of people, and in smaller groups I do what I can to socially distance. I always feel that simple precautions like that help a lot. A flu shot can help with symptoms, but it's best to avoid getting sick in the first place.

We try to have some medicine on hand so we aren’t scrambling when we do get something! Also if you have some younger ones, we like to stock up on the pedialyte powder packets! Definitely things already going around and not looking forward to later in the season.

Get a flu shot.

By keeping my immune system strong 💪🏼 havent has the flu for 10 years

I get all of these ahead of it.
-Masks and flu shot
-Meds
-Soup

Personally: hand hygiene, keep a healthy distance from others, and haven’t had a flu shot since 2018. My co-workers who are vaccinated are sick and those of us who aren’t are the ones picking up their shifts when they’re out.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET.

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy.

Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis.

Is that normal?
