I still ate it.

Any suggestions for self help books on anxiety? Been dealing with anxiety for quite some time now and have been seeing a therapist but also just want to see what other resources are out there.

Processing a breakup with someone who’s an alcoholic (no longer in recovery), bipolar (gone off his meds), and has sociopathic tendencies. I realise he’s sick, but the extreme PTSD and panic attacks a

It's really strange to me how radiation can both cause cancer (melanoma) and also be used to treat various cancers

Hearing rumors that someone who entered the CNN building near Union Station got Coronavirus

For ppl getting vaccines: how are you planning to navigate social and family get-togethers with people who you don't know/know are unvaccinated? Do you:
(A) remain cautious, maybe distance/mask to reduce your own exposure/avoid any transmission to them?
(B) Not go if group not fully vaxxed?
(C) Or feel confident that you're well-protected so let them assume any risks and get back to normal?
Am interested in people's approaches, since we don't seem to be getting much clear guidance.

Any recommendations for plastic surgeons in the Charlotte-area? Or any good questions to ask/red flags to look out for?

Hello. Would like to know what all is tested in pre employment health checkup.

So I’m currently in the training process (20 weeks) and we start live phone calls next Monday and I’m a bit nervous to start talking to people on the phone in regards to their insurance. It’s been a lot of information to retain.. I know that we get 6 months of coaching after training but I still feel really uneasy. Is there any advice for a new health care concierge? Thank you!! @

I’ve been trying to figure out dosage and medication over the past month and wanted some insight from people who may have more experience with diff doses. I started with 5mg Adderall for 2 weeks but it stopped being effective around the 4-5th day. I switched to 10 mg for a week and it was good but a bit up and down, so switched to Vyvanse 30 mg for a week, which was too strong. I’m now on 15 mg Adderall, but it feels like I can’t concentrate and I’m scattered. Question in comments:

Chest pain from stress? Is that a real thing?

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

Anyone got some ideas for stuff to do between end of current job and start of new one? Feel like covid has sucked my adventure away 🤦‍♀️ and want to do some stuff before things get hectic.

Would you say summaries are as effective for self help books like "the subtle art of giving a fk" and other similar books? I feel the books themselves ramble on too much on a side story only to tell a point that could be summed up in a couple sentences.
Or am I just not getting good book recommendations for growth/development on mental well being and productivity

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

So had my IUI last Friday, I go for bloodwork this coming Friday. But I’m so tempted to test, I just don’t want to be disappointed… any tips?? I waited this long what’s another few days 😬😩

How are things going in your area now that cities have more or less dropped all mitigation measures like mask mandates and vaccine mandates?

Is it a red flag for a dr to ask for a specific medication? I’m seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow and have a diagnosis already but want to try a different medication. I’ve done extensive online research and there’s one that I know is a bit pricey but I’d like to try. I obviously need her input to ensure it would be safe for me to take.

Apple Watch owners…⌚️
Im getting into swimming and I’m like OCD about my watch tracking my workout as accurate as possible (even if it’s not the most accurate 🤷🏻‍♀️). I used the open swim for the first time yesterday and one down is 25 yds but one full lap is 50 yds and regardless I don’t think it tracked my swim accurately. Is there a trick? Lol I input 25 yds as a lap but maybe I needed to put 50? Silly little thing but it’ll drive me crazy haha

Stay sober this holiday my friends! Pro tip: eat enough turkey so the tryptophan builds up and pass out from that...

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

The smart cube
Hi,

I have a interview scheduled with The Smart Cube for Senior Digital Analyst.

I have 1.7 YOE.

What kind of interview questions could be asked?

Well it was a great season. 11-3 going into today and the Cardinals decided to not show up. Murray, Ertz and the Defense will cost me the first round in the playoffs and it’s not even 2:30PM.

How many of you have ended relationships or been broken up solely due to time issues with this job? Did you have a wake up all and quit after or stay put?

Would you be upset if your SO showed up at your house without an invitation but knew you were going to be in the neighborhood?Even if you weren't expecting them, would you leave them outside knowing they were there?

What does the PwC FDD case interview consist of? And does it vary based on if you’re interviewing for sr. associate or manager?

I don’t care at all about any of it anymore. At all. Been faking it for years.

Being recognized for my “talent” ie I iterate like I will die if I don’t make all possibilities, and given more control and management responsibilities are all good and positive things for my career but I really wished I felt excited and vindicated, and not just this intense weariness at the prospect of doing this more

Should I read anything into the fact that since being laid off I’m finally sleeping well?

I poured a Monster energy drink into a coffee cup today to survive an early morning meeting without letting onto what a complete and total degenerate I’ve become.

I was really pumped to be a finalist for young ones but I just found out I got a merit and I’m a little bummed tbh.
