Pretty sure I’m clinically depressed. My wife is going to be caring for positive patients and we basically won’t have human interaction for 2 months.

Same here, my SO on front lines in covid ICU. We are living apart. You’re not alone.

Same, My SO has decided to live elsewhere as well to not put me at risk. We’re all in this together!

I’ve found some things I know he wouldn’t approve of and am gleefully doing all of them now. My favorite so far? Letting our dog sleep in the bed. In this case, what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him....

Got covid from the UK , double vaxxed , and symptoms are wildly atrocious. Everyday I have different issues. I went from no fever to 102.4 in a couple of minutes. Blood oxygen dropped dangerously low and bounced back in a few minutes. Chills , cold sweats. My newest one is that my legs are so achey and sore it feels like they were beaten with a bat , just nonstop pain and can’t sleep. Anyone else experience these? Pretty sure I’d be hospitalized at a minimum without the vax

Lately I’ve been feeling like all my friends and family around me have such great careers and are very successful and I’m behind. I would like some help trying to figure out what my next career move should be. I know I’m capable, I just don’t know what I should be looking for in my next opportunity, or what (strategically) I need to do to work my way up the ladder. Any resources or suggestions of who I could hire to help me figure things out?
