The Q below was posted in this very bowl about a month ago... As a BizOps leader at Glassdoor (and a single mom), I see and feel the impact stress can have on our people firsthand.

Mental health matters no matter where you are... What mental health resources at work help you the most?

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month). The doctors either just treat the symptoms or give me referral for a specialist for one or more symptoms, I feel like I‘m getting nowhere with that. Any advice on what tests I can ask for that helped you in the past? Any recommendations for a more complete checkup in Manhattan (ideally covered by most insurances)? TIA!

I started full time at an agency mid pandemic so have never once worked in the office. I find myself working 50+ hour weeks even from home. Everyone who says "I can't wait to be back at the office" - are they really serious? To tack on commute time and public transit anxiety, wake up at the crack of dawn. Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

question of the day: why did you join this bowl? Since I asked, I will start: I’ve been on a journey of recovery from legal-overachiever-workaholism. Changed jobs, city and environment and still working hard to recover from burnout that is, unfortunately, part and parcel of the legal profession.

Newish to FIRE (really after FI). Finally switched to a HDHP in 2021 and got around to setting the investment portion today. Wish I had known about this years earlier. Grateful for the FIRE community and one step closer to getting out of the rat race.

I’m so depressed, have been for years, and don’t see it getting better. I’ve tried everything from therapy, exercise, psychiatry, journaling, self help books, healthy diet, etc. what else is there?

Too much noise out there - can someone confirm or deny whether the US Government funded gain of function research related to Covid?

I just got a promotion that will involve 90% travel, I am excited about the role, but I have kids and me travelling means no one to take my kids to day care on days my wife works as she resumes 6am.

Is it normal to pay for monthly OB visits while pregnant? I have BCBS and thought they would be covered 100%?

Tips on Boston fertility clinics? So far looking between Boston IVF and MGH. (Also cross posting to Boston consultant bowl but thought I’d try here for the fertility fish)

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

Hi! Does anyone have experience training from a beginner to running a 5K?

I am defending an eviction for a client who has given possession of the property (as of Nov. 30). Plaintiff’s complaint has one claim – possession. They did request relief for attorney’s fees. NJT/Final Hearing commenced 10/27, was only 30 min and was therefore continued to 12/20. Plaintiff had counsel at that time but they are no longer represented.  I want to file something notifying Court that Plaintiff claim is now moot, making sure that judgment is not entered that hurts (cont'd)..

I've never watched racing before but I woke up this morning to a Formula 1 Race on TV and left it on. Something about the cars routinely going round and round is surprisingly relaxing to me.

Teaching your sister how to drive again is so frustrating 🤦🏻‍♀️ I cannot! Funniest part is that she has her drivers license just never drove around! UGH

Inebriated thought...What if rhinos are simply unicorns that let themselves go?

Hey 🐠, curious your thoughts on two roles. 27m finishing non-MBA grad school while working. First I’d a manager-level BD role for a startup (but public) company im really excited/energized by. 150k base with 15% bonus and equity. Second is a senior manager level growth & partnerships role for a slightly larger company that’s cool but I’m less enthusiastic about. 165k with 20% bonus and equity. Ignoring equity considerations, would you take the job with lower pay if the company is more exciting?

I've started doing meditation with this group called The 'Art of Living' in New York City, and it's honestly changed my life. Can't recommend it enough for dealing with the stresses of modern life.
