Next week I'll have been unemployed for 4 months. I'm at a serious low point. Any tips on keeping positive?

One time I was SO wasted at my now exes family’s big xmas party... when it was over everyone went to bed or home, I had to pee so bad but I was too drunk to remember where the bathroom is so I opened a door and it had a small space inside and I just went in the dark

The next morning it turns out that someone peed in the closet inside of his mom’s purse where she had her now damaged passport and documents. She was furious and the family was shocked, I had no idea how to tell them so I didn’t...

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

Anyone up for sharing your wisdom on preparing for the LSAT with ADHD?

Ladies - any recommendations on a PCP on the upper east side?

My brother is going through some really intense chemo so him and his wife are often recovering at their house for a week without going out.

Since they can’t take any visitors I would love to send them some sort of at home activity kit (wine tasting or anything!) to keep them busy during these lockdown weeks.

Please share any suggestions you have below! No limits in terms of activity or budget. I have about 8-9 weeks that I plans to cover.

Thank you!

Has anyone tried the Dr Dennis peels or Bliss peels for deeper acne scars?

I feel like the fertility process is pulling my hubs and I apart. We’re both not great at communication, but I feel like this stressful process just is not bringing us together at all. I can’t vocalize what I need (because I don’t actually know what I need) and hubs is stressed and I feel like he’s drinking more and just not talking about his feelings. Anyone else navigating this? I don’t even know how to broach this topic. I am all about therapy, has anyone benefitted from couples therapy?

Anyone else self-diagnose ADHD? I’m an over thinker — I analyze things way too much especially my mental health. I’ve seen firsthand the hallmarks/symptoms of ADHD through my friends and could 100% say I have the same problems too (lack of focus, hyperfocus, time management concerns, can’t quit nicotine/caffeine, forgetfulness, impulsiveness). I consider myself a high-achieving/high performer though, unlike my friends who can’t function without adderall...

Any 🐠 get Invisalign in Boston - recommendations on where? How was the experience during your treatment? Was between Smilebar or Align Dental.

Just had a consult at Smilebar. Ortho was ridiculously rude, spoke really fast, dismissed my concerns. Laughed at a few of my questions, rolled eyes at one. Everything was pressure to get me to commit ~$5.8k on the spot during a *15 minute consult*.

When you get stuck in a deep deep depression how do you start coming out? I’ve been drowning and trying so many things since May last year, but it’s May almost and I’m worse than ever.

Hey Aussie Fish!

Londoner here 👋 looking to make the jump to Australia. How difficult is it to get a consulting gig (with sponsorship)? Post COVID of course. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Did any one else’s firm just not engage with them during the majority of the WFH period? While when the lock down first happened we had a few zoom get togethers, they quickly disappeared. I’m only a first year and while my practice group ended up being pretty busy I had been hoping for more engagement from partners/senior associates. While I would set up calls and they would say yes, I can’t help but feel ignored by the lack of outreach. Am I asking too much to expect at least a monthly checkin

Tata Consultancy Accenture Wipro Infosys

Year end conversations are coming up. Anyone have theirs scheduled or held?

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Hi fishes

I have been selected for Consultant position for Mastercard. Its been 10 days since I have submitted my documents.
HR called once last week for salary negotiation but hasn’t called back since.

Should i be worried?

Just watched the exchange between Jim Jordan and Fauci in the House hearing. Also checked the comment section at both CNN and FOX. Boy people are so divided.

The current solution sounds like a compromise between both sides: you can go out; you need to wear mask. Neither side will be satisfied by this and will get more divided while cases grow.

Gucci Dionsys supreme mini. Is it worth it?

I’m a new analyst at an IB group. I’ve felt that I’ve done well my first month or two and delivered higher quality work, but I feel that lately I’ve been slipping up the past few weeks given the intensity of the deal as well as having multiple peripheral work streams. It also doesn’t help the second year analyst quit so I don’t necessarily have a resource to lean into. (Cont.)

Took a much needed mental health day after hitting a wall at a toxic job this week. Immediately get an email from HR asking me to meet on Monday. 😅

Fake smiles. Fake smiles. Fake smiles.

I feel like I’m coming unraveled. I don’t respect my leaders, I feel like I want to cry (or do cry) once a day at work. No matter how much sleep I get, I’m still exhausted, I’m easily frustrated...

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 ?

I get really anxious when I don’t have much to do at work, I start worrying I’m going to get in trouble for being under utilized.. does anyone else ever experience this?

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?

I keep binge eating at night. How can I stop this?

Double murder home invasion two houses down on my street tonight in BK. When it happened I'd just gotten home from pizza place and was stuffing my entitled Netflix watching face. Broad daylight and just like that two innocent people taken down in their own home. Fat unhealthy looking cops show up waddling around and ambulance moved like snails. 4 hours later and they're still out there...searching for clues. But yet they all look so clueless...All of it feels surreal but this happens on the regular here in NY. It's shocking when it's two doors down and all you can think is... why them? Heart broken to my core, and have been contemplating going back down south to run from the trappings of this beast of a city,,,but death- you can't exactly run from it can you? In the bell jar right now. Please send thoughts 🙏🏼

I've struggled with taking meds. I never understood the concept of "take your meds even if you feel good."

Today, I'm 28 days consistent taking my meds and I feel so. damn. great.

I enjoy what I do but It’s ultimately not good for my anxiety. Making good work at a competitive agency seems to come at the cost of my mental health.

So.... what if you're no longer inspired at work? I'm approaching 30 and too young to be this bored. Advice? It gives me such anxiety.
