So I had a couple panic attacks and stopped smoking weed as I was worried about my heart/racing/pains and was having anxiety about that. It’s been a month now not smoking and I’ve had more panic attacks and my resting heart rate is up almost 10bpm. I also ruled out any medical heart issues with my doc. I guess my question is... how can I manage my anxiety without medication when I was clearly self medicating with weed before? Im trying to get pregnant so pharmaceuticals are not really an answer

Now'what and all would be the consequences she might face. Is there any chance of these things are being escalated? Please advise!

I thought I found the perfect position in March but I was let go today. I was blindsided. Never a complaint, my reviews were excellent and I got along well with the owners. My only issue was the PEO not speaking with me and going directly to the owners with her agenda. I asked ownership to work with me and I would pull the PEO in, if necessary. Apparently, they have a longstanding friendship and he does not think of them as a vendor as a friend. She suggested a on-site PEO rep and out I go!

I have really been working on myself to start dating and I met someone who seemed pretty cool, but within two dates dropped some massive baggage. His ex was pregnant and it turned out after it was born he found out it wasn’t his.

Would you have a conversation or run?
