-I will use it probably 3 times a week for shorter distance walk/runs
-used to have a peloton tread+ but returned in the recall. Absolutely loved the slat treadmill on my knees/hips

-need it for the most basic functions & would watch tv or take peloton / Apple fitness classes on my iPad
-it will go in a garage
-not concerned about having huge incline

I don’t understand the value of therapy. After having tried multiple therapists it feels like I am just talking and saying the things I already know. Any actions we discuss are obvious things.

Am I doing something wrong or is therapy just an expensive way of doing guided self reflection?

Ideas for law-adjacent positions in the pharmaceutical/biotech sphere? I see various positions but none post salary so I have no idea how that would match up with expectations. It also seems like most jobs want a bachelors degree plus a few years experience or 8-10 years of experience (without much in between). For reference, I have a MS and a JD with 1 year in biotech and 3 years in biglaw pharma regulatory/litigation.

Remember when Kid Rock was a rapper from Detroit?

I don't understand why so many people expect kids not to learn manners. I'm not saying that they have to be experts on etiquette, but we need to have higher standards for them

Which meme coin are you all gambling on next? How many millions or billions are you buying? I used to fantasize about traveling somewhere for work and never getting back on the airplane but now that my daydreaming has had to stay in my 'home office' this is all I have...

Is feeling suicidal a reason to leave work early/call out sick in the morning?

Dad had to get emergency open heart surgery over the weekend. Now me and my family are preparing to help him recover and determine what those next steps are.

While all that is happening, we’re working on a huge initiative at the agency and our client has been super anxious about it. That anxiety is coming down stream so I’m trying to do my best as the PM to alleviate the team’s concerns.

And today, I found out I got a raise.

It’s too much going on the last few days.

has anyone been placed on a PIP after signing an ADA? i’m only 2 weeks into my accommodation...

Therapy’s too expensive, I’ve been sleeping way too much again (12 hours +) and still waking up tired while having no appetite to the point I’m losing too much weight. I know this isn’t right but I don’t know how to pick myself up.

This may be a long shot but recommendations for male therapists/counselors that take MetroPlus Health Plan insurance in Manhattan (close to/accessible from UES)? Or someone out of network &affordable?

Any tips on managing anxiety? It’s kind of snowballed since becoming a parent and I need to get a handle on it

My partner is suffering from really bad depression and anxiety and it's so hard to concentrate on work when my home life is what needs the most attention. Wish I could take time off to help make him better.

I had a day today where my mind was not functioning well. Stupid mistakes, lots of back and forth, etc. I got kicked off and account once for having a day like this, and I am sad and frustrated. (1/2)

Fake smiles. Fake smiles. Fake smiles.

How do you stop putting yourself down? I don’t mean to do it and it just comes out of my mouth and then I feel SO awk after.

Job technically allows for WFH - take about one a month because of debillitating anxiety and depression flare ups. I actually work too - I just can’t be around people.

Has anyone defined themselves by their passion for this industry so much so, that if they thought about doing something else they’d have no idea who they are anymore?

Does that even make sense?

Has anyone tried SAD lights/ light boxes for SAD? Do you find them effective?

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion. My partner is amazing and I can’t imagine loving anyone this deeply, and feeling so safe with them. But I also love my parents and they’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to cope with this.

Have any of you had to go through multiple different therapists and found one that you enjoy meeting with consistently? Hating myself rn but don’t want to talk to the one therapist i have met with 3x and not sure if the search is even that worth it ultimately. For those that couldn’t find a good match for a therapist - are there other methods of therapy you’ve tried or would recommend?

Im going on two straight months of exercising regularly for the first time in my life! It’s amazing how positively it affects my mood + how I feel about myself. Hoping to keep it up once work picks up

I’ve been fired twice (2017 and 2021) and I always have the lingering feeling that it can happen again so I jump jobs before anyone gets the wiser. It’s not healthy and can impact me professionally. Any one else every experience this ?

Anyone have any experience in coping with someone’s Narcissistic Personality Disorder? It’s my mother, and this has psychologically devastated me all my life, but I don’t know whether to keep trying or cut her out.

Had to pull an all nighter and am convinced I will not make it through this day. Prayers are greatly appreciated.

My heads messed up. Feeling anxious about a situation with my ex (A) but ex (B) shows up after I’ve been distant with A ... I hooked up with B ... I hate that I feel neglected... (continue )
