What would you do if you found out today that you only had a few months to live? I recently had a health scare and was (thankfully) misdiagnosed, so it was a false alarm, but it really put life in perspective for me.

I'd travel as much as possible. There are so many beautiful places I've always wanted to see but I put it off because of money/time/work constraints.

Love more my kids.

Great reminder to show them more love now, while you can!

I think I would quit my job and spend the rest of my money traveling and seeing everything the world has to offer.

This made me exsitential on my desk. Hold up, I'll take time to think about it.

Deep thoughts....Any ideas yet?

I'd quit my job, move to the countryside and appreciate slow life. Plant a garden and read books. I don't have long so I'll probably feel what it's like to live. Thoreau's book "Walden" gave me the idea.

Never read that. I'll have to check it out!

California LCSW

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Canada, moving to California in 4 months (LCSW transfer for CA in progress).

I currently have my own virtual practice in Canada and would like to relocate this to California. My question is, how difficult is the process of credentialing in-network with various insurance companies and do they provide reliable, consistent referrals if you are credentialed with them? Any other advice on building clients in a virtual space in CA is welcomed

Anybody scared that COVID is going the same route as HIV.

Always a threat, but we find ways to mitigate by either wearing masks always, or quarantine any time you get tested positive.

I will be going back to work after a STD leave due to stress (both personal & professional). I feel like I'm ready and am looking forward to work even. Today I was told that the insurance company recommends a gradual return to work (3h/d ) for the first few weeks. Now I'm nervous about how that will be perceived by my practice, which focuses on chargeability. I'd rather go back at a 100% capacity to avoid any negative perception. People who have gone on STD leave, what was your experience?
