I’ve been home for the quarantine since 22nd February, and I believe I gained approximately ~10kgs (and trust me, I’ve never been normal weight)..
I try to convince myself to have a walk, to practice some yoga.. but at the end I stay at home working or watching Netflix, as I don’t want to meet people. I feel I want to go to the seaside but still I feel so ashamed for my body and I think I’ll be home for the entire summer. It’s like I want to hide myself from the world and disappear.

My firm is having a big conference with hundreds of people. There is going to be lots of mingling and the attorneys are expected to give presentations to the entire crowd and also to smaller groups. I am fully vaccinated but need to avoid getting COVID because of preexisting (but invisible) conditions. I just learned that attorneys are expected to remove their masks while presenting. I do not want to face blowback from management but also want to protect my health. What should I do?

Drug testing question! My company is headquartered in a state where marijuana is illegal but I live in a state where it is legal. Recently referred a friend who utilizes pot recreationally and was curious what will happen if the test is positive. Can they rescind the offer? Or no because it’s legal here and she’d be working remotely from our home state?

How does your office handle late patients when it's weather/road related? We had a patient show up 10 minutes late and threw a hissy fit because he had driven 40 miles on snowy roads to get there. And I felt bad, but we legitimately could not squeeze him in.

9/16 Thread (General):

I'm in the middle of a background check with Deloitte for a Project Delivery role. In the background check application I listed my previous employers - Cognizant/Teksystems etc but my resume only had the client names I worked at . Does this pose a problem if Deloitte HR compares my resume to the background check form ? Also my title within cognizant might have been an associate but my resume mentions the designation for the client. Is this a reason for concern? Will they ask me to justify it ?

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

I am suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. My depression is gone every summer and get worst in the winter. Should I move to warmer climate where there is no winter?

Idk if it’s from the years of mental/emotional abuse or lack of boundaries / respect, but seeing my family has become awkward and tough. I went home for dinner today and just like other times - we don’t talk or I have to force conversation (so plans this weekend or what you do this week).

Does anyone else struggle to accept your diagnosis? I’ve had two therapists suggest I try medication, but I can’t help feeling like I’m just too weak to handle the challenges of the world. That medication is the “easy way out”. In weekly therapy (+other lifestyle changes), but my anxiety/depression just seems to be getting worse.

I've been on the bench for a few weeks and I feel like I have a personality again. Not being stressed, anxious, consumed with work has reminded me what it's like to be more present in my life...

I can’t function. I don’t have energy to do the smallest things. All I want to do is sleep. I don’t have to feel pain or deal with life when I sleep. I left my job because of this. I have a history of clinical depression and this is the worst episode I’ve ever experienced. I made an appointment with a therapist and to get on meds. Do I qualify for state disability even though I quit my job?
