Has anyone purchased a Peloton on resale? Any advice or whether or not to do it and what to look out for in a used bike?

Has anyone been diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma/hemorrhage in their first trimester ? How did it go for you- did it go away, stay without impact, or lead to a miscarriage ? It’s basically a form of internal bleeding- I’m super high risk already (44 yo, IVF)- but it increases the likelihood of miscarriage even more. Thanks!

Anyone else loathe doing discovery, put it off forever, then get sick to the stomach when OC throws a fit about it being late? How do I break this pattern?

First consultation with fertility doctor tomorrow! Any specific questions you wish you had asked the first time? Hoping he says we can start IUI fairly soon. Have been trying the old fashioned way for a year without luck and heart broken.

Does anyone have some recs for a good ENT doctor?

So how did you fix your depression?
What was the final solution that helped pull you out of that funk?
Was it a specific medicine? Therapy? A combination of?
I am working out and eating healthier, but still struggle with depression and anxiety.
I’m tired of the frequent thoughts of nothingness, the lack of any desire to do things, as well as the constant and immeasurable need for me to force myself to do things.
I just want to be happy.
I don’t want to ruminate on mistakes.
I want to be free.

Feeling a bit down after a negative pregnancy test today - we’ve officially passed the six month mark of TTC. I’m 33, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid all look normal but my cycles suck. They will regularly stretch into the 40 - 50 day range but OB seems really unconcerned. I keep getting the “it’s totally normal to take this long” 😕 I’m scared we’ll waste a year just to find out there is a problem.

Last week, I mentioned that I needed to take an appointment (my therapy appointment) this Wednesday at noon. I also mentioned that this is a medical appointment, and I don’t feel comfortable moving the appointment. I just received an email that I need to be available. How can I stick to my boundary?

Doe's anyone else miss Covid pay👀🤷🏾‍♂️

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

Texas biglaw: which firms are offering flexibility (at least two days a week of WFH) going forward?

My firm is saying “we aren’t mandating a return but once vaccinated we encourage you to be in the office frequently.” I am still going to WFH twice a week until yelled at but would like to lateral to a firm that’s more flexible.

What’s the single biggest piece of advice you’d give the A&M administration right now?

I recently found out that a PT aide was making the same amount as me. Later, I found out the other aide who had been there very few months was also making the same (if not very close) to me after a recent $1 increase (due to my discovery). Both of these aides are men. The level of responsibility that falls on them verses what I am responsible for is truly laughable. I have seen jobs advertised for lead administrator coordinators for 24-26 an hour(with less responsibilities). Anyone else?

Is anybody inserting extraordinary supply chain shortages/delays/disruptions in their Force Majeure clauses and having luck with customers accepting that language?

Sometimes it feels like I can't tell dreams vs memories apart bc my dreams are so vividly realistic but my life memories are fading/slipping due to suppression (not talking about them, not reliving them) and mostly since becoming anti-social after some PTSD events and growing up hyper independent. Most of the time I question if something I "remember" happened in real life, or if it was something from a dream.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need help? How do I ask for help? Who to ask?

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

Has this ever happened where you’re trying to explain or discuss things, or rebutting something someone else said, and the other person says you argue too much? Like if someone is saying something and I have information that directly refutes what they’re saying, why does me saying it insinuate that I’m “arguing”? Starting to think maybe I should just go to law school and save my rebuttal ability for that.

How much reading are you doing now with hybrid working? What are you reading now?

Sometimes I unsubscribe from my own posts because the responses get overwhelming.

Yet another 2-page COVID19 update that could have simply been a one-line email saying “Hi there - we do not know any better this time than what we knew the last time we sent this update. Hence, no update. Keep doing what your are doing.”

If they ask me to return to work next Monday I will need the following: unlimited PPE, N95 Mask, Haircut, Lysol Spray Dispenser at every cubicle, handsanitizers, automatic doors/touchless faucets.😂

FRIENDSHIP problems. Me and my best friend’s relationship drifted far apart during Covid where we don’t talk anymore. Nothing happened, just lack of effort. We used to be inseparable sisters. I tried making the effort to talk, but all I would get is short fake texts. I’m worried that I won’t have any friends or BFF to stand by me at my wedding. My circle of friends to talk/connect is getting smaller. I used to have a lot of friends but now not so much, I’m 27.

So the US is going to start offering COVID boosters now. Has there been any mention of whether the government is still footing the bill?

Thoughts? I've got mixed feelings... on that and the need for boosters in general.
