In case anyone would like to spare themselves a heart attack stroke and possibly spreading Covid to a large group of people as you run around screaming for help. If you child goes missing and doesn’t respond to you calling her name despite screaming it at the top of your lungs 50 times check under the blankets her room. She could be a very sound sleeper and entirely huddled under the blanket on the floor. Also don’t trust your 12 year old to check under the blanket either before calling 911.

Does anyone else feel cold indoors often, even on days like today when it’s not cold out? I‘ll get cold to the point of shivering and end up cranking up the heat.

Zika - part of my family lives in South America, and I will visit them end of this year. We just started to TTC when realized we have to postpone by 8 months (4 until the trip, 1 month there, 3 months after). I was happy we were not pressured but now I feel it. Best case I would be 33 and my husband 40 by the time the baby is born. Freeze? Relax, 8 months won’t make a difference?

Views on IV infusion therapy? And Gluta push for stress and immune

I have been in the US from Canada on contract for the past 6 months. My fiancé and I were supposed to get married and move here permanently in the fall. She has now called off the wedding, and has told me she doesn’t want me to move to the states. I got a great offer. Great job. Don’t want to lose the love of my life but I feel played. I worked so hard for this. She’s ripping out my heart, and taking my livelihood away. Am I wrong to not abide by her choice? Ask for the ring back?

Rejected from yet another company after another final round interview. I feel like I’m wasting my time. Would love nothing more than getting struck by lightning or run over by a drunk driver rn.

I lost my last job a few weeks before Christmas last year and it took me a long while to find a new one. Ultimately I ended up moving to a new city for a job I was really excited about.

I am finally starting to feel like a person again but I'm afraid the ship has sailed on my having success in my new role.

When not anxious, an hour feels like eternity and sufficient time to knock out tasks.
