Very quick note to say I think it takes a lot of courage for our industry colleagues to open up on here about their mental health concerns, esp considering the shitshow of consulting...

and self-absorbed, take-no-prisoners mentality of so many in our day to day lives. . This bowl is full of incredibly thoughtful responses from strangers who sincerely empathize with the struggles and requests for advice and input. Good for all of you in the Depression/Anxiety Talk bowl - we may have our issues but we are a caring and supportive slice of humanity. I appreciate you all and you guys remind me that it’s not all bad out there

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy.

The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

So I’m 32 weeks. I’m finding it very difficult to breathe and it’s hard to explain. I have normal pregnancy congestion especially at night but throughout the whole day too when I breathe (not congested or through my mouth) it feels like my lungs don’t take in enough oxygen and I don’t feel like I’ve actually taken a breathe, if that makes any sense at all. I’ve also been choking a lot recently not sure if related. Anyone else or am I just weird?
