Unsure about therapist - she is in her 70s and always has problems with technology, frustrated because might not be a good fit but don’t want to start from scratch with someone new. I don’t mean to discriminate against age, but I’m starting to think she should be retired and her flakiness around appointment times makes me wonder if she’s just taking me on for the money. We almost always need to reschedule and she’s offering evenings and weekends- is this weird or is it me?

Anyone have recommendations for a dermatologist, preferably in or near Center City?

Can anyone recommend a good cosmetic Dentist in Chicago? Looking to get some veneers for a few top front teeth that keep chipping.

Hi all,
I joined ey last year. Ever since I lost all my work-life balance. I am mentally disturbed. Could not concentrate or anything because of the job. I am in a dire need of advice. Please help me.

Anyone ever struggle with impostor syndrome? How do you cope? It’s not like it debilitates me, but some days/periods it really gets me..

For the life of me, I do not understand why when I tell people that I’m Nigerian, they mention some irrelevant detail about a trip they took to Kenya or a friend they know from Angola. Ma’am/sir, if you told me you were from the USA and I mentioned that I have a friend in Canada, wouldn’t you think I was unwell?? 😂

I have my baseline appointment for FET tomorrow… our first transfer cycle since a loss in March. I’m pretty scared considering how the last one ended. Can anyone share their story of a successful pregnancy after experiencing a loss?

I feel like I prefer American/Int’l men over Canadian men. Mostly because everyone seems to know everyone here. Even in the big cities, it’s a small pond. But being in Canada, that makes for a long distance relationship by default…which most people aren’t into. Welp

I am so furious. My ex husband just informed me we were not technically divorced! He left the house last July and went abroad in August. Our divorce has been filed in January when I sent the papers to him to get a wet signature and he said he would send to courthouse to get them filed. I started dating in March when our divorce was supposed to be finalized in January! Stupidity on my part, but what do I do now? I am sort of seeing someone. The ex is coming home on Monday for his child’s birthday

Do you ever feel like you’re just never going to experience real love or be that ‘special someone’ for somebody? I sometimes feel like I am defective in some way, because despite being in my early 30s, I have never felt particularly special to any guy I have been with- it’s always felt like I am the space filler until they meet the right person

Anxiety level off the chart this year. Still PTSD from 2016. Only two more days to go.

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

Any tried and tested ivf doctors in Mumbai? Have a low AMH and super low ovarian response.
Thanks

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)

Took my first round of Clomid 50 mg this month and learned today that my progesterone levels are low and I likely I didn’t ovulate. I feel discouraged. Been ttc for 10 months now and I learned recently that Im not ovulating. I didnt think It would be hard getting pregnant as I had regular cycles before covid. Anyone had luck ovulating and conceiving with an increased dosage of clomid? Looking for encouragement and success stories to lift my spirits

I am honestly so depressed, a little about me: Im 26 and have a pretty decent job (make almost 100k), but I feel very low. I barely have friends, and never have had a gf. I have my apartment but I feel alone.I tried going on dating apps and got multiple dates but they didn’t go anywhere. I look fine but struggle with social anxiety and tbh I’ve never even done anything sexual before. I feel really lonely and it’s starting to become tough. Does anyone have any advice on how to feel better?

How much time in advance did you order your IVF drugs from a mail-in pharmacy (e.g. CVS caremark)? Should I wait until I get my period to order them to make sure I'm not already pregnant or buy them in advance? Waiting for the results of my IUI, but will move directly to IVF if it doesn't work.

What kind of dietary resources do you point your patients do when discussing nutritional changes to your patients for their annual exams?

There is no trick to sell, either you can sell or not. The only trick is use your ears and identify key pieces and use them wisely in the conversation. Selling is a conversation properly led to a Goal.

Hello!

I believe I am depressed and my therapist told me that I am showing signs of depression. I worked very hard to get my current job in July 2021 and currently, I am not liking what I do for work. I also had a hard break up in May 2021. From May - July 2021 I developed eating disorders and I hardly ate one meal a day. Right now, I am on the other extreme. I eat a lot, crave junk food and I don't exercise. As soon as I get done with work at 5, I start binge watching movies/series. Cont.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

So my only friend was diagnosed with lymphoma so severe it has been stopping her heart now and again and I am jealous af. Everyone who wants to live is dying and then there's me. Healthy af physiclly

If you’re reading this; you are an amazing human being! Hang in there!

I feel paralyzed with my anxiety, so much so that I can’t work.

Everything I see says to find a counselor or therapy helps. How do you actually find a counselor?

Has anyone else struggled with chronic depression but been functional? Even with antidepressants I feel like I’ve been low-grade depressed for a few years, but on the outside appear fine to people

I’ve been a little depressed after being laid off from my job I only had for 6 months. I took this job to be closer to home with the intention of this being a long term job for me. I’m so lost. I’ve been spending hours and hours trying to update my resume, but at the same time, I’ve been thinking if I want to stay on the same career path because it's what I know and have been doing for 15-plus years. I worry I will fall into a job I don't want.

My brother is being committed because of severe OCD and delusions/hallucinations of hurting himself and the people around him. He has no life and has trouble leaving the house. About 10 years ago he felt better and got a degree in Computer Science but can't/will not work and he collects social security. At this point I am just waiting for him to die and not sure what to do as there is always an excuse for not improving his life. Anyone deal with anything like this?

Has anyone successfully gotten back together with an ex? Is it just doomed to fail again (in my case for a 3rd time), or do you have a success story to share?

Anxious *non*-depressive here — what treatments and medications are available and effective?

I get a horribly anxious reaction to the thought of interactions that I need to have as part of the normal course of my job. It’s plain, irrational fear, and I know it’s holding me back. But I’m generally otherwise happy.

Asking directly as I’m struggling to find posts that don’t have depression hand-in-hand (my heart goes out to you all). Thank you and take care everyone.
