NICU Nurse here- I had to tell a mom today that she couldn't see her preemie because of the infection risk. Heartbreaking

Whew, what do you do if you are depressed out of your mind but seem to have it more together than your LDR SO who seems to be struggling more. I don’t think I can be like “yeah so I wanted to die again today” so I’m kinda hiding it. But I’m not doing that ok

I had my lows but managed to work with therapist, have been mostly good about taking medication (still searching for one that works for me), looking for different psychiatrist and therapist as well, started working out daily, and opened up to one person at work who has been very supportive - mostly listening without judgment and less of providing solutions/recommendations. Been eating better and sleeping slightly better also.
Then last evening, couldn't do anything although I had work to do- ctd

When I was little, I used to lie in bed looking at the ceiling and I would get this overwhelming feeling that the future was meaningless. I felt this pressure around me and an empty feeling inside like the one you get when going down on a rollercoaster. I used to cry myself to sleep back then. Haven't felt like that for a couple of years now.

This was the week that traffic fully returned from its Covid hibernation

Had signed for AYDE. Now having to cancel it as I have got fever. Just an explanation I hadn't been to office recently. I wasn't feeling well for over 8 days so I didn't visit office. I probably caught it from somewhere else.

Traveling from India to US, landing in Newark. Do we need Covid test before traveling?

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?

One of my developers is diagnosed as autistic and has difficulties communicating with the team, often criticizing others. How should I handle this?

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

Curious as to what the views on canibas (medical & recreational use) are in the finance industry. From what I've seen, it's a stigma compared to alcohol, but maybe it just appears that way?

I’m so grateful for my late term diagnosis 18 months ago and my medication because i function like a human now. But it also makes me feel a bit sad that my brain is “broken” and even needs medication.

People that are not neuro-divergent are really just waking up everyday and living their lives with this level of clarity and stamina by breathing air.

Sigh.

Who else feels like we are currently living through a long episode of Black Mirror with COVID and all the craziness going on?

I went to a masseur in LV last week and this massage turned sensual. He texts me today saying he’s HIV + undetectable and he tested positive for gonorrhea yesterday. This was my first such massage experience and I feel my world has fallen apart. Our genitals touched and kisses. I did my tests this morning and waiting for results. 😌😌 why didn’t he share this before booking an appt! 😭

Is there way to precaluclate how much deductible i will have for UhC HDHP plan. My primary care doc charged 400 for visit. My oop came 280 which is exorbitant for primary care. Any sites i can use

If my blood sugar is consistenly within fasting levels (not higher than 100 mg/dl), even after eating, does that mean that my body isnt taking sugar from my foods? (I eat high vegg)

When I was diagnosed, I struggled to find any info out there on adults and workplace etc. Thinking of setting up just a blog space for people’s stories, anonymously. If anyone’s happy to tell their story or an experience that might be useful lmk. Happy to provide a framework of questions so you don’t have to write a think piece... could be how it impacts work, advances your work, learnings from medication, learnings from stress, how you tell people, etc - anything that could help others!

Hi people. I have availed enhanced health insurance coverage offered by EY GDS.

Some amount was cut under 'Insurance Deduction' in April and nothing in May and June. In July and August, they have deducted amount under 'Insurance Topup Deduction' and some amount under 'Insurance Deduction Others' with no explanation whatsoever! No tax exemption is also provided for senior citizens.

Any idea folks? Also, whom should we reach out to for such queries?

Interested in hearing how many AE’s are involved in the creative process vs straight client management? My agency size is small (35 ppl) and I’m pretty involved. Is that normal?

Has anyone here used a career coach? Worth it? I’m 4.5 years into audit and am absolutely miserable; I will make manager if I stay but I don’t think it’s worth being further pigeonholed. I’m not sure if a simple exit to industry would solve the problems I have with this job, so I’m unsure what exactly to look for.

I have been here for over a decade, moved several times and had to start from scratch with my network. Recently I am feeling disconnected from friends and romantic interests who don’t share a similar experience to mine ex—family within an hour distance, living in the same city for their entire life that they have many friends local. While I signed up for this, I have an urge to connect more with people who have similar experiences to mine. Curious if anyone else experienced this and what worked…

I've been having some of the hardest conversations I've ever had with a guy that I really like. But he is religious and I'm not. Originally I thought he didn't like me romantically and was just looking for something physical. But he asked me if I would be open to converting and I'm not. I just don't really agree with religion, especially ones with such strict rules. This is really difficult to navigate. Have any of you dealt with this?

It’s not even 1pm and I’m already sleepy 😴

Hey gang, lately I have been thinking if I got underpaid. Graduated from master school right after 2020 pandemic and started by 68K as UXD in digital sales company based in NYC. With 2 YOE the salary went up by 3% and 5% average promotion. Now it comes up to 75K w/ 6K bonus. What do you think of this? My manager honestly told me I was underpaid during 1-1 but since he was newly hired not long ago, he told me he has no solution at the moment. Thinking of starting a new position...
