My therapist fell asleep during our last session. I canceled the next session as I’m losing faith that it’s even helping my debilitating depression from being UE for 3 months in the worst city NY in the worst season winter. I know others have it worse off than me, but I’m past being disappointed at rejection emails and fake recruitment.

My heart hurts for you during this tough season of life. I’ve been there, multiple times. The only advice I can offer base on experience is to give yourself as much grace as possible. Spend this uncertain time doing things that inspire you (I hit every free museum day and became an avid runner). You WILL look back on this time and be grateful for the strength you developed. I’m rooting for you

:( this has been a really tough year for so many people I know. It’s very hard to see the positive right now, I totally understand.

This happened to me once. At the least, address the issue with your therapist. I had similarly felt like my sessions weren’t helping and was so disappointed that I sought another therapist and saw so much success. Take care of yourself, don’t lose hope. There are people out there who genuinely care and it might take some time to find the right professional. DM me if you ever need to talk.

Do you live in the city? I know an amazing therapist! It makes such a difference. There’s so many bad therapists out there, you really have to try different ones until you find out you like. Hang in there! It’ll get better! Maybe you should try taking meds.

Long story short, I am leaving my first post-grad job after 9 months due to bullying, toxicity, and complete disregard for employee satisfaction from the management. My mental health has declined significantly because of this job (I’m in therapy now). But, I am so sad to be leaving my patients and co-workers who I have become close with.

I feel very discouraged to be a physical therapist right now. Are there any words of wisdom or advice to somehow find my love for this profession again?

I need help interpreting my Day 3 fertility test results. I am planning on starting a family within the next 5-7 years and wanted to get a baseline understanding. My OB/GYN says my Pap smear was normal. My results are as follows:

Female, 28 years old.
AMH: 8.41 ng/mL
FSH: 10.0 mIU/mL
Estradiol: 22 pg/mL

Are these numbers okay? Do I have time or should I be acting soon?

Designed a social media campaign for a local activism group. When I sent it over they were happy but I felt almost empty or unfulfilled but can’t put my finger on it. Has anyone experienced this?

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?
