I love the taste of coffee, but I feel like my consumption goes up, up, up then mixed with the stress of my job i get anxiety and I burn myself out. I also feel like I need it to handle the long hours required in my job. I quit for 9 months last year but always go back to it. Any tips for how to maintain some sort of balance or cut it out for good? I read in the decaf sub Reddit and they act like it’s awful for you but I don’t know how I feel about that.

Any recommendations for a therapist in Manhattan?

Anyone had a uterine polyp? One was found during my d&c after a miscarriage and it was removed and sent for testing. I also have PCOS and am very nervous.

Need some inputs on a pvt matter. What's the best way to get rid of phimosis?, surgically removing front part of skin or use steroid creams with rings?. It is moderate, not as bad. Does it hurt after getting married if not removed?.

How are you’ll doing? Has life gotten better …I am still trying to adjust

Any ideas when visa holders like us can sign up or will get covid vaccine?

Just discovered some Westin properties have workout rooms - exercise equipment in the hotel rooms! No excuse to not workout with a treadmill in my room this week 😉🏃🏾‍♀️

Has anyone been on a wellness retreat before? Lots of anxiety and my therapist suggested going to one to help, but they're pretty pricey. Wondering if they're worth it/anyone have reviews or recs for some affordable options?

Got selected in the August 2020 2nd lottery. My h1b application is finally approved today!! So happy just want to cry. Ive gone thru so many anxiety attacks in the past 7 months.

I am currently situated in the US and plan to do a landing in Canada for PR stamping. Any recent experiences going through this? Can I just land, get the stamping and fly back? Or do I need to wait back for negative covid test?

Was just billed $550 for totally routine and in network bloodwork. Figure it's at least worth giving Aetna a call and asking why as the PDFs online don't shed much light but I'm not optimistic

Are there any remote positions for 30 years medical experience but only possess an Associates?

At what income does it make sense to speak to a financial advisor? I’ve been fortunate to see quick rises in income, but family has history of poor financial management, and I want to be smart. I know there are flowcharts and guides available, but also want to be wise in my my decision making, and I’m young so need some sanity checks

Is anyone else here simultaneously studying for the LSAT as a paralegal?? If so, how many hours to you usually put in a day preparing? Thanks! 😊😊

At what salary would you consider buying an apartment in NYC vs renting?

Follow up etiquette advice needed (public relations industry) : hey everyone- needed some advice on if it’s appropriate to leverage offers and everything within the PR digital industry. I’m expecting an offer soon with a firm, and I’m in the last stage at another. Is it appropriate to send an email to firm one telling them I’m in final stages with another and asking where I stand to maybe get an offer faster? Any insight would be great!

I am interviewing for director/group PM roles (10 years product management exp) and I was asked as a second round to go through a “product sense” interview, conducted by a junior PM reading the script. I know product sense is needed as PM (i have recruited many PMs in my life) but it felt quite underwhelming to go through an hour of this … the PM was very nice, but couldn’t answer any complicated question either … is this still the norm for senior processes, is it FAANG legacy or just bad luck?

I need your help! Bough BF a coat he LOVES but doesn’t fit but was the largest size available (Asian brand). Does anyone know of a tailor/seamstress in CHI to build a bigger version of the coat? Thx!

Hello all. I'm a Foreign Medical Graduate who recently moved to US looking fot better life. Currently not Board Certified to work as a physician in US territory. I'm currently working as a Patient Care Technician in a dialysis company because it was the 1st job I could get when I got to the US. Is there any other option I can do where I can get a better pay or growth within the organization? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m stuck in a pub cause it be storming 🙄. AMA?🤔🧐

Yes or no to cord blood banking? Pros and cons please!

Some context: agency let go about 15% of the company a month ago. I was warned by my dept lead more layoffs could happen if we don’t win new business soon. I’m 35w pregnant.

What scenario (if any) is most likely:
- That I’m let go before my mat leave begins
- I’m let go during mat leave
- I’m let go immediately after returning from mat leave

Seems like potential PR nightmare for them, but I can’t ignore the fact that I was given a heads up that layoffs could happen.

I just started my third trimester and recently fractured one of my molars while eating soft fries (not sure how), but I had a root canal done on that tooth years ago so the tooth is actually a crown. I went to a dentist for consult and the dentist informed me that I will need a new crown since I lost a big chunk of the old one. The dentist wouldn’t even consider any other options because he doesn’t believe there is a good temporary fix… (More in comments)

My lower belly is so bloated starting at around 12w, similar to the feeling of days before period. It’s not painful, but certainly uncomfortable. Anyone had similar experience? When does it go away? Thanks.

Hi Mamas, what do you wear to work when your belly is showing? Where did you get them? Anything else that you recommend for working mamas? Thanks!

Is it weird to not have a baby shower? I’m not interested at all

Just need to vent, I’m 35w+5d…
And found out my baby is already 7lbs. Pray for my vayjay.

Stressing about my gestational diabetes test Tuesday. I have a lot of risk factors and have been feeling horrible lately after feeling not so bad for the last 2 months :/

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant. Now reading the label I realise that it’s not advised and a category C by the FDA - I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have obviously stopped now but really scared I might have caused serious harm to my baby.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Are you planning on working until your due date? If not, when will you stop? Or how will you slow work down a bit toward the end?much appreciated as I am figuring this out now!!

Just graduated from our IVF clinic at 11 weeks! 1st time pregnant, can’t believe it finally happened.
What products or tools are absolute musts (for pregnancy or for baby)?

Concerned about not gaining weight. I’m 17 weeks and haven’t gained a single pound, not even an ounce. I have a small baby bump and doctors said my baby is growing well but I really don’t look pregnant…. Doctors said baby and I are healthy but I’m still super worried

Any solutions for back pain? In the middle of my second trimester, and my back has been aching, especially when I need to travel for work or have a lot of activities to do (reorganizing, grocery shopping, etc.).

I sleep with a pregnancy pillow, but was wondering if any pregnant mamas have some recommendations for pain during the day.

About to be 32 weeks and need to pack my hospital bag. Any tips on what to bring and what not to bring? TIA :)

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Is it possible to have symptoms straight away? I’m 1 week before my period but felt nauseous yesterday and today. Could definitely be something I’ve eaten but now I’m stuck in a google hole!

Have you had to facilitate a presentation with a nauseous feeling? What is the best way to combat it?

In my first trimester and I want to make sure I’m not being overly skeptical of my OBGYN. What are some red flags to look out for when searching for a good OBGYN?

Y’all just a quick vent - I am 10 weeks 4 days and just really f*cking tired of being tired and nauseous. Work is like pulling teeth right now with a difficult client and a director/partner who aren’t respecting boundaries particularly well with some utilization BS on top of it. I have anxiety and ADHD just normally and this is our first child (but second pregnancy after one miscarriage earlier this year). Just uuugggghhhhh. Tips for coping appreciated.
