I've been at my current role for three years now and have never received a pay increase. I know it's beyond time I asked, but I haven't because I have crippling anxiety. I get too nervous to schedule those types of one on ones. Any advice on how to go about this and what I should say?

My advice would be to work it into a year end, performance calibration, or regularly scheduled 1:1 conversation with your manager. Putting something on their calendar that directly or indirectly alludes to this topic may result in them having their guard up. I would also do some homework to highlight your strengths, accomplishments, and a market value comparison with similar roles internal and external to your organization. It’s normal to be anxious about these types of conversations but being well prepared will reduce some of the anxiety. Another really effective approach is to build an informal coalition with a well-respected individual(s) at your firm who you have a good relationship with and can speak first hand to the value you add. This will amplify your own logic and introduce an unbiased 2nd opinion. What you don’t want to do is have this come off as an ultimatum even if you truly feel a raise is necessary to continue your employment with them. I love to nerd out about helping people advocate for themselves so feel free to send me a DM if you think you want to explore further.

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.

I think that I have eating disorder. I am always hungry but when I get food I can’t finish it, usually I am done after 2-3 bites and then I am hungry again after an hour. Anyone has similar issues? Have you been to a nutritionist or dietitian? If yes, is it covered by Insurance?

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Anyone else heard of this/tried it?

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
