Well ladies today I turn 30 I keep getting emotional not because I’m getting older but I’m just so grateful for people and experiences I had in my 20s. I’m also someone who stressed a lot about work and my career in my 20s. Now I still want to do a good job, but I don’t care as much. Did you have any realization when you hit 30? :)

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

Pretty much brand new to snowboarding, took a lesson a few years ago but haven’t been much since then. Would love to get back into it, do I need to pay for lessons or can I just jump in and start falling/learning again? I was planning on going up after work during the week for a few days of night skiing and just jumping in. Just not sure if I’ll be frustrated by constantly falling/not improving. I don’t have anyone to go with me. TIA!

I just got invited to a dinner meeting with 20 other consulting professionals from my new office. It’s going to be an indoor dinner and there’s nothing on the invite indicating whether this is optional or mandatory. Here’s the thing: I’m pregnant - fully vaccinated, but I’ve still been trying to be really careful about Covid - no indoor dining, always masking indoors. I don’t actually know anyone at the office yet and don’t want to come off as contrary… Any advice on how to handle?

How do you maintain focus? I find myself distracted every 2 minutes.

Anyone else feel like they don't fit in? I joined a couple months ago and there is no one I feel comfortable talking to. It seems like everyone talks shit about everyone else and acts so fake

We need to talk about the amount people struggling with alcoholism at all levels in this profession.

How do you know when it’s time to get help? I’ve never seen a mental health professional but I just don’t feel like myself lately, a lot of which I think is attributed to quarantine.
