My tradescantia just developed these weird white patches in the dirt - they look cottony and almost like eggs 😱 any idea what they are and what to do? Should I put it outside??

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

Changes in the healthplans are going to drive me to spend hundreds in out of pocket early on and I'll meet my deductible whether high or low. Any advice on how to choose a policy?

Has anyone tried getting their CVA? If so, what was your experience like (besides awful I am sure)? Looking to sit for it once I return to the states.

Is TRT worth the life commitment?

Real question: how does a hospital system using a leading EHR not know where in the facility a patient is? Father brought in via ambulance at 215pm.....and when my mother called a few hours later for an update on his status they had no idea where he was. She played “transfer me to Dept X bingo” (ED, med/surg, OR, PACU), til she found a nurse who knew where he was. How does this happen?

How is your company dealing with Covid.

(Please no arguing but I’m curious)

Our company is making Vaxxed people come into the office but non vaccinated are required to wfh.… I support choice of vaccination or not and this isn’t a post trying to lean to any side.

But I’m more confused as this feels like punishment for getting the vaccine while those who chose not too are allowed to wfh during the holiday season. Our company is required all vaccinated people to come in 3x a week but those who

Anyone try ketamine for treatment resistant depression? I’ve heard great things about it, but I am scared and it’s very expensive. I would love to hear about anyone’s experience.

Fellow getting fit fishes- I have what I think is a good at home lifting routine and a really nice home gym (slam balls, kbells, dumbells, hex bar, ex curl bar, plates, bands). However, I really don’t have back exercises or machine that I love. Any one or a few back exercises or machines/tools that are a back blaster that might be a fun or effective way to ramp up my non existent back workout game?

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

Looking for some advice. I'm 35 turning 36 soon. After 2 months of trying with my husband, I got pregnant. We were so happy until finding out 7 weeks later we miscarried. My doctor is telling me to wait another 6 months and keep trying. Then we would start looking at fertility and going down that route. It has been 2 months and haven't gotten pregnant (after the miscarriage). I'm thinking of setting up an appointment with fertility clinic now versus waiting another 4 months. Any advice for me?

Anyone else’s firm not give billable credit for trainings? For context, we’re being required to do 3 full days of training with a 1950 billable goal as mid levels. Seems unreasonable to me, but can’t think of a polite way to say “hard pass”.

Do you buy your "main" Partner a gift? And if so, what do you get them?

I feel like I have seen this, so just curious: to the extent you move to a state (where there is no office) and work remotely for your current office (in a state you are barred), do you absolutely need to be barred in the state you move to?

I swear I see certain instances where someone is not barred in both states…

Transactional, if helpful.

So, I have lil Spanish lavender plants from Trader Joe’s and a midsized French lavender plant from Home Depot… the care info and the internet all say to give them full sun and water occasionally - what does that actually look like…? In case it matters, I live in Southern California somewhat by the water. Thanks in advance!

Watering Strategy - i am not an expert, but I water once a week for all my plants. Many places I have read, allow the soil to completely dry out in between waterings and some say just check the top 1 inch. What is true?

My apartment has large windows, so I get plenty of sunlight. I’ve never really taken care of plants, but I would really like to have a few. What plants do you suggest for newbies???
