What do you do to maintain a healthy mindset before the work day begins?

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about a year and it was working…but I feel the depression coming back. I don’t want to just keep upping the dosage (went from 150 -> 200). I’m not too sure what to do and therapy is something I can’t afford right now with my recent rent increase. Any thoughts or advice?

I was trying to figure out what my personality trait was a few days ago. It’s depression, my personality trait aside from work is depression

Just found out we have a death in the family and will need to travel cross country for the funeral. I’m on day 4 of clomid for IUI and worried we’re going to have to miss our window for the month. Is it just what it is, or has anyone dealt with travel issues during IUI?

Does anyone know what vaccinations are looking like? Where to get them and when they’ll be available?

Struggling with separating what's for real and what my anxiety is making me believe. Like when I am stressing about something, I don't know if things are going south and I should be doing something...

Re-read House of God recently. Medicine is absurd as it ever was!

I was today years old when I found out I 100% have high functioning anxiety

At the donor egg phase and just not dealing with it well. Having all kinds of regrets if I tried hard enough. Maybe should have ate better, tried all these different things. Did I do IVF too quickly? Some say IVF makes your eggs worse. Is this true???

Does running actually ruin your knees or is that just a myth?

Finally hit my breaking point. Been nothing but irritable & pissed off these past few weeks. Coach asked me on Friday when I’ll be taking time off & I just broke down. I’m a top performer & a workhorse. I’ve put so much effort into making sure my team is okay I forgot about myself. Now I am buried in work, performance is dropping & I can’t stop crying randomly. I kept telling people I am drowning but no one was listening. Coach is leaning to tell everyone to backoff thankfully.

Hello for those who get periods/menstruate anything you do differently when it comes to your workout routine. How do you deal with cravings the week or two before ( and not let it destroy progress 😭)

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

Any Indian national recently came to US through the London Heathrow airport.

I understand A&M comp is primarily derived from the annual bonus based on collections/performance. However, given the significant increase in Big 4 FDD comp this year, are there any plans to raise the base salary for A&M? I have to pay rent every month not just annually 🤣

Hi guys

Can anyone let me know what are perks of joining Nokia? Or if there's any? What can I expect?

Hi! I’m scheduling a screening phone interview for a senior marketing manager position and I’m wondering what my salary expectations should be? 6 years experience & nyc based. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation. And there's extreme hierarchy, where even after you spend 24 hours working on something, the director decides he wants something completely different and you delete and restart. (Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)

Networking ... 🙌 You have likely heard this since your day 1 at D. Doing good work isn’t enough at D. Connecting with the right people can make or break your career at the firm. How are you continuing to build your network considering the indefinite move to virtual / remote work?

Where do I steer my career? I’m an introvert and someone who suffers from PTSD from my time on active duty. I honestly have no real desire to really go to an office and spend half my day pretending to be social and develop “relationships”. I honestly just want to bury myself in the work. Im not interested in happy hours or office golf functions and pizza parties. What is my best bet to staying in tax but also just doing my work and not having to participate in all this extra stuff?

I am trying to make the transition from a large nonprofit public media organization to a small agency. I’m currently interviewing and it’s looking real promising. However, it’s a whole new world for me! Any tips or suggestions???

It's August! We made it halfway through the year! What are your goals for this month? Let’s stay motivated 💪🏾

Is anyone else struggling to find motivation today? I just can’t bring myself to care about anything work related. I’m trying to push through but it’s hard today.

Just registered for WAATBP end of this month and am looking forward to it!

When seeking a new role, How many different agencies have y’all had to interview with before being hired? I’m on agency number 6 right now I’m so over it. I know my portfolio is amazing because so many recruiters wouldn’t be reaching out if that wasn’t the case. The process is Mad agggggy.

Hi - I’m working on a podcast to showcase real stories of ageism, racism, and sexism in the ad industry. You will remain anonymous if you wish. If you’re interested PM me and if you have ideas on how

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

Hey fam! I’m looking for mentors high and low and trying to find good platforms for mentor matching. (e.g. I used to be a part of NYC’s Women Who Create until I moved abroad) Anything good you know of? Or, perhaps, if you’re interested in mentoring/being mentored, say hey below.

I’m conflicted: Soul (the movie): yay, meh or nay? I liked it, but woke Twitter opinions are affecting me.

Happy MLK day, people,
I know a host of you here and would like to determine if there would be interest in attending an open session on career advice for young professionals of color. Talk 2 me.

How long did it take you to receive your first promotion? I have 3 years of work experience, currently at my 3rd agency, and third associate position. Four people on my brand team have been promoted (across levels and departments, but none in PM). I'm getting sick of being pumped up with empty praise if others are actually being rewarded with accolades.
