Our family just found out my dad may have cancer. He’s older and has been in ill health for several years, this just feels like a cherry on top of an already difficult situation. Luckily I have a sibling and we’ve taken turns caregiving for several years…but we’re fully aware this is about to get much, much harder. And we’re expecting to receive biopsy results just a few days before Christmas. I’m not sleeping, crying a lot, exhausted…how can I handle this with a full time job?

Looking for treadmill recommendations. A little detail about me:

-I will use it probably 3 times a week for shorter distance walk/runs
-used to have a peloton tread+ but returned in the recall. Absolutely loved the slat treadmill on my knees/hips
-would ideally like a woodway but $$
-need it for the most basic functions & would watch tv or take peloton / Apple fitness classes on my iPad
-it will go in a garage
-not concerned about having huge incline

Thank you for your input!

Where are the moms on this app? I want kids and I’m planning for the future. How do you schedule for child care/ who is your child care provider? Do you use day care, a nanny, a family member who lives with you or close by? And roughly how much do spend on child care per month?

Gays bottom, how do you clean yourself "down there". This year I started to bottom more. I spent the last 5 years being 99% top, so I don't know how to prepare myself. How much water is too much? And so many other questions...Any other technique?

Might be a silly question - but can we choose to have a c-section over natural delivery? The thought of natural delivery scares me

Vaidam Health review

New dad to a 6 month old who doesn’t sleep well. Really struggling with over tiredness, no more exercise, and not eating healthy. Any parents with tips who have been through this? I know it’s temporary and I do love being a dad, but struggling with the sacrifice to my own health at this point

Question for those with children and high deductible health plans & HSAs: are there still negotiated rates between the insurance company and providers that lower the costs drastically? I feel like i am wasting money paying $5k a year on health insurance, when i could pay $1k and put money in an investment vehicle of HSA.

An example is that my son was in an accident and...

I have an intern who's hygiene has slowly deteriorated over a few very stressful weeks at work. Should I leave them be, or gently remind them?

I moved to Philly roughly a year ago for work and have been having a hard time meeting people here post Covid. I have been using Bumble BFF for roughly two months but haven’t met up with anyone yet. Any recommendations on how to get social and meet people here?

Has anyone ever transferred abnormal embryos?

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in this bowl. Fertility is such a complex and emotional issue, and everyone here has been not only incredibly well-informed and helpful, but also just so kind and supportive. The lack of toxicity and judging is so refreshing. So thank you!!

HELP! I feel like I can’t even blink without my COVID patients dying.

Desperately in need of a job. If anyone is hiring please reach out. I’ll take anything at this point. Bills are officially in the red, trying my best to stay motivated. I’ve been unemployed since October and I’m completely drained at this point. Thankfully I’ve been able to instacart but it’s not enough unfortunately. I have administrative and project management experience but again, I can take anything and I’m more than willing to learn.

Has anyone been able to get their hands on a 3070,3080, or a rx 6800xt?? Starting to lose hope

How often are engagement teams over budget? And by how much?

ONE p&t partner? yikes.

URGENT: Can anyone refer me for an entry-level software engineer/ Trainee Software engineer role (Java preferred)? I need a job on an urgent basis as my current organization has asked me to put down my papers due to changed business requirements (read layoffs) and has given me 30 days to find a new job. And I would really appreciate you guys if you can provide me with any help in this situation.

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?

Sunday Scaries are already in full swing and the sun hasn't even set yet 😓

Anyone on here religious/spiritual? Praying helps me a lot - I had a dark day today and bolted out at lunch so I wouldn’t freak at work - I’ll be praying extra hard tonight.

Have any of you had to go through multiple different therapists and found one that you enjoy meeting with consistently? Hating myself rn but don’t want to talk to the one therapist i have met with 3x and not sure if the search is even that worth it ultimately. For those that couldn’t find a good match for a therapist - are there other methods of therapy you’ve tried or would recommend?

I’ve gotten to the final stage in interview process at 5 places now to be told no. First and second interviews at a bunch of other places too. Starting to really feel drained. So much work for nothing

Any success stories of L-Theanine supplements? After a particularly rough anxiety attack last night, I’ve decided to try some remedies (without resorting to Ativan).

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion. My partner is amazing and I can’t imagine loving anyone this deeply, and feeling so safe with them. But I also love my parents and they’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to cope with this.

How do you stop putting yourself down? I don’t mean to do it and it just comes out of my mouth and then I feel SO awk after.

Is feeling suicidal a reason to leave work early/call out sick in the morning?

My heads messed up. Feeling anxious about a situation with my ex (A) but ex (B) shows up after I’ve been distant with A ... I hooked up with B ... I hate that I feel neglected... (continue )

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.

I was depressed last year, did therapy and on antidepressants and got completely better. But now I’m feeling depressed again, even though I’m still on antidepressants.
Feeling stuck- will I always be battling this?

Has anyone tried SAD lights/ light boxes for SAD? Do you find them effective?

Im going on two straight months of exercising regularly for the first time in my life! It’s amazing how positively it affects my mood + how I feel about myself. Hoping to keep it up once work picks up

Is anyone here sober or a friend of Bill W?

My agency isn’t revolved around booze but the industry is and it definitely can be isolating. Sober 4 years and I’m only 26 so it’s weird

Yesterday I couldn’t get out of bed and told work I wasn’t feeling well and would be working from home. I just really didn’t want to be around people and feeling pretty down. Today is no better...

Dad had to get emergency open heart surgery over the weekend. Now me and my family are preparing to help him recover and determine what those next steps are.

While all that is happening, we’re working on a huge initiative at the agency and our client has been super anxious about it. That anxiety is coming down stream so I’m trying to do my best as the PM to alleviate the team’s concerns.

And today, I found out I got a raise.

It’s too much going on the last few days.

Therapy’s too expensive, I’ve been sleeping way too much again (12 hours +) and still waking up tired while having no appetite to the point I’m losing too much weight. I know this isn’t right but I don’t know how to pick myself up.
