I was prescribed Lexapro by my doctor. For anyone who has taken it, can you speak to your experience with this medication? What impact has it had on your day to day life?

This is the time for our professional organizations, AMA, AAP, NMA to step up and make a statement on behalf of the safety of physicians.

How do you know when it’s time to get help? I’ve never seen a mental health professional but I just don’t feel like myself lately, a lot of which I think is attributed to quarantine.

Anyone noticed that with aerobic / cardio exercises it gets more difficult to focus? It is like my mind a TV and someone else gets the remote and goes through every channel every 30 seconds or so

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Anyone talk to a Muslim therapist? Muslim matters because I’d like to talk about marital issues, and not sure others will get the religious context. NYC preferred. TIA!

I've decided to head back to NYC, where I first trained, to join in the effort against Covid-19. Wish me luck!

Does anyone have visceral fat around their tummy? I’m 28F and people will look at me and thing I’m thin. However, if you were to see me in tight clothes, a crop top, or bikini you would see that all my fat is concentrated in a circle around my tummy/hips. Other than that area, I would look pretty fit. Obv diet and exercise is key and I have begun focusing on the foods I eat more. Is there any other specific advice anyone can give for getting rid of visceral fat?

Are there any good apps to help a newbie get into weight training?

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

PwC 🐠 - health insurance coverage. What are the deductibles for the high-deductible plans? Still want to use the HSA. Thanks!

a few weeks ago we had a super busy day with scripts and i think i went into ‘autopilot’ because i don’t remember it happening, but i handed out the wrong prescription to someone (before you get mad, i only started a few weeks ago and i’m a junior assistant), out of all people i could’ve given the wrong medication to, it was a blind person. i have severe anxiety already and want to know some tactics to go back to work without guilt? i take guilt very heavy and struggle to get past it all

My manager feeds me 100 chole bhature & then my tummy hurts so I ask her to give me a leave but then she declines my request and feeds me 1 more plate of chole bhature then I die because of excess gas formation inside my stomach, then I poop & become alive once again then my boss notices that im alive again and feeds me 109 plates of kadi chawal and this goes on and on and on and on

I mostly only get to ride on weekends. If I'm lucky, during the week I'll get in some peloton. How do you get in leisure rides with work during the week?

I started an antidepressant treatment for my generalized anxiety disorder and it’s been life changing! It’s only been a week and I already feel so much better, any other fish in the same bowl? 😏

How does this work? I desperately need an accountability partner

Anyone else need to study for technical interviews? I'm planning on interviewing in the late fall/early winter.

Studying 2 hours on weekdays, 4 hours on weekends. Also going to be networking and looking for places to apply on the weekends.

I want to lose 20 pounds (starting at 165). I did really good for the month of July but now I’m losing steam. Any suggestions?

How are y'all enforcing accountability?! I got a 'buddy' that is ready to work with me. But wondering how is it working with everyone.
Do y'all just message for check-ins or send motivational quotes or something else?

In December, my goal is to
- lose 5 lbs.
- lose 1 inch from my waistline.

This is part of a broader goal to lose 45 lbs overall.

I will have a weekly update on my progress.

Really need an accountability partner for a few things below:
1. Wake up at 5:30
2. Exercise everyday for at least a half hour
3. Eat more home-made balanced & nutritious meals & less takeout
4. Lose 8lbs
5. Meditate or journal every day

Current weight - 121lbs.
Desired weight - 112(like always)
Mood - tired & grumpy during the day cos of no sleep, bad sleep, bad food choices
Focus & productivity - absolutely failing cos of the above

Anyone interested? I can support you in your goals.

I’m looking for an accountability buddy. My initial goal is to lose 20 pounds in two months. To do this, my plan is to eat healthier and in smaller portions (track my food intake), and workout at least 3x per week.

This is going to be *the most cliche* thing to come out of this bowl but, I need someone to whoop my ass into studying for the gmat 🙏🏼

Hi! I could use an accountability buddy for two things: learning Portuguese and finishing my outside of work client work. Any takers?

I need someone to keep me accountable for eating right, walking on treadmill and studying for cpa. I’ll do the same for u. Please dm if interested

Learn public speaking by starting a YouTube video explain random concepts in less than five minutes. Suggest me concepts below

Hi All, this probably sounds extremely dumb but need someone to keep me accountable to be very productive (I have trouble waking up and focusing). Anyone sailing the same boat?

Welcome! The purpose of this bowl is simple: keep posters accountable for the tasks they would like to have completed.

Step 1: Create a post regarding a goal you want to accomplish. Make it as (non)descriptive as you desire.
Step 2: Provide weekly update regarding the goal until it’s completed.

All incomplete posts with no update in 2 weeks will be removed.

Plan: 1) Meditate am/pm 2) exercise 60 minutes every day 3) Loose 5 lbs every month. I think this is very doable 4) reach out to 5 clients per day. Any takers

Hey Guys. Anyone here wanting to learn play a musical instrument ? I want to learn to play the keyboard and could use this bowl to avoid procrastination.
