When I sleep well I feel ok, but on days where I’ve slept poorly or not at all, I get EXTREMELY depressed. Anyone else?

Anyone else feel completely drained and exhausted? Physically and mentally...

Lower back pain! First time experiencing it yesterday after a long time sitting, and I still feel it today 😖 Can't sit / work. How do YOU prevent this?

ATTENTION! If you are looking to help your local community during this, DONATE BLOOD 🩸! Blood banks are beginning to dry up and won’t last much longer. COV-ID is not transmissible via blood! Act now!

Can anyone recommend some good resources (books maybe?) for learning about intermittent fasting? Seems to be a lot of contradictory crap online.

I’ve been trying to figure out dosage and medication over the past month and wanted some insight from people who may have more experience with diff doses. I started with 5mg Adderall for 2 weeks but it stopped being effective around the 4-5th day. I switched to 10 mg for a week and it was good but a bit up and down, so switched to Vyvanse 30 mg for a week, which was too strong. I’m now on 15 mg Adderall, but it feels like I can’t concentrate and I’m scattered. Question in comments:

Hey all,
Anyone else feel like this. I love consulting and doing different things and the fast paced nature but sometimes it’s too fast. In college I had extra time because I like having the ability to be meticulous, slow down and verify my work. Not to mention traveling is exciting as well except but how does everyone prevent their brain and life from feeling scrambled?

Any recommendations for an at home weight lifting routine? I just got a new set of dumbbells for my home gym. I’ve lifted before with trainers and in group classes so I feel pretty confident with form/ technique just looking for some structure around which exercises to do and when.

Any 🐠 🐟 do calisthenics or body weight exercises? Couldn’t find a “tribe” in NYC

We have an employee who continually takes intermittent FMLA. She never fully uses her 480 hours but comes close. Then she renews, year after year. Is there a limit as to how many times she can do this? She is a team lead and yes we have a back up for her but this is getting a bit frustrating for the managers. Any suggestions?

I feel like I have seasonal depression. It's been so gray & cloudy. I get tired more and have less energy & have been more moody.

I am using a UV light to help & I do group fitness exercise. Any supplements, vitamins, or things others have found helpful to combat this?

I have severe anxiety and depression around my job. Is this something I should raise with my AD?

Decided to buy a peloton and trying to decide if I should get the first version ($1900) or new version ($2500)? Wasn’t sure if it’s worth to spend the extra $ on the newer one.

What are some good gyms in the city? I like to do a mix of cardio and strength, a pool would be nice but not a must.

I hate emotional dysregulation. It threw me into a complete spiral yesterday and apparently it has not resolved itself this morning. It's currently interfering with my ability to be a good human and a functioning adult. Makes it so I want everyone to disappear off the face of the earth.

Can anyone recommend a good counselor or psychologist near Long Island or NYC ? I can’t find a good one .

Hi fellow neurodivergent consultants.

As someone who is on the Spectrum myself, struggling quite a bit in my adolescence years. Even though, that over the years, I got a lot better in masking socially acceptable behaviour. The fact that Musk himself has disclosed his diagnosis, has truly inspired me that no barriers should exist for us. The road might be tough sometimes, and working in a client-facing role requires quite a bit of our energy. Know, we are as capable as neurotypical people.

Anyone take lithium for BP2? What’s your experience been like? Just starting on it

Anyone have home workout program recommendations?

Any non-SSRI anti-depressants without any sexual side effects (other than Wellbutrin, which seems bad for anxiety)?

Has anyone tried HTP-5 of L-Tryptophan?

I’m curious to hear from strategists who shifted from advertising into more innovation / consulting roles, and how it’s going. I’d love to get out of campaign work and more into solving business/product problems.

Has anyone ever made the jump from consulting to being a full time creative?

Recently I've realized that consulting isn't what I wanna do, but more broadly idk if a 9-5 business job is for me either. I've always wanted to make films and write books but I rarely see anyone in our industry make this kind of jump. Also finances 🥴

Overall I'm just not sure if I can see myself doing this for the next 30 years

I’m in love with Kayleigh McEnany. 🥰😍

Hi! European here who moved to New York and trying to buy a condo apt. Any tips on the mortgage process, any good providers here with good rates and no crazy costs? Condo is $450K and putting $200K down if helpful

Manager: “So how late were you here last night?”
Employee: “2:30 am.”
Manager: “So you were only here until 2:30? Other people on your team were here until 5.”

MBB/K folks in Riyadh offices, is there lesser flying and hotel stays than for people in UAE office, given most Saudi clients would be based in Riyadh anyways? From a work life balance pov, if this is so do you prefer it?

As a Deloitte SC what exit opportunities did you move into?
Please respond with the job titles/company. Were you able to get Manager level roles?

Being a health care provider is about helping others sort through very serious problems and emotions while managing your own.

Those who successfully made it through MBB cases - how did you feel going into round 1 in person?

Any TCSer in kolkata??
Please let me know which is the best office among Oval, Sabrina park and Infospace.

How is the internship program at Crowe? I just applied to multiple internships at Crowe and it looks like an amazing company to work for.

Random thought... My gay male context plus the pandemic has amplified the "this isn't worth it" view of my unbalanced work life balance. I am never going to have kids and don't need to keep grinding for the next promotion etc. like my head of household peers with children. Do you feel the non-traditional household / income demands that LGBTQIA+ we live with are making you more easily say "enough is enough" with work as the valuation of our time has increased during the pandemic? 🤔

How do you balance wanting to be the “go to” person who gets it all done, no matter what, and feeling like you are taken advantage of because of that?

I wonder if all of this masking in public is doing any good. Personally, I'm not sure.

Hey some help FB: had to move rooms at a Westin bc the tv was so broken they couldn't figure out how to fix it -- they were nice but is there a way I can at least get points for that and how?

Why does it seem like most husbands get super deep into an extremely time-consuming hobby, like triathlons or golf, just when their wife is pregnant or shortly after the baby is born? This has happened to me and 5 of my girlfriends. The timing is suspicious.

How to you move onto a new relationship and establish trust in people again after being in a relationship with a female narcissist that ended? FWIW 30M, this was the only relationship I’ve had.

American consumerism is going into $2-3k in debt each month to buy dumb stuff you don’t /actually/ need. Anyway, pls recommend clean and effective side hustles before I go broke 🤡

Dreading Thanksgiving. I love my family but I’ve lost 30 lbs since I last saw them due to cancer and haven’t told them. I know they are going to congratulate me for “losing weight” and compare my cousins to me to encourage them to do the same. How do I handle this?

Question, why do girls like to show off their bodies (insta, constant bikini pics etc.)? Like guys barely make an effort even when they’ve got abs and everything

Unpopular opinion - we inherently rank and cater to certain minority groups over other. We fail to recognize the struggles from these other minority groups and focus on the issues being pushed on social media and in the news.

I have absolutely no filter. I have a problem with just “telling things like it is” and being extremely blunt which sometimes can lead to problems in my personal life and work life. I’ve tried to take a pause before i speak but that doesn’t help 😅

Anyone have the same thing?

Do you ever just spend so much money in one day on random stuff, then lay in bed at night regretting it? Yeah that’s me currently. Fml

I’m addicted to getting fresh haircuts. About to get a haircut now in prep for weekend activities. Gonna get another one on Sunday since a trial starts on Monday. This will probably be the closest gap I’ve ever had between haircuts. Feel kind of guilty about it.

I am lonely

So I recently started working with my Jeweller to nab a pretty nice ring for my lady . . . Now out of nowhere exes have started reaching out to me (think calling, texting, emailing) to "catch up and chat" or for closure. My friends told me something like this was going to happen . . . But I'm asking you all . . . Is this $hit normal?!? Two of them called me around midnight in the middle of the week! That wasn't a fun conversation with the lady!

Has your intuition always been right?

I have a friend who lives inside my head. Every time I think of doing something important, be it a career move, who I date, where I live, I think: what will he think of that? I’m basing so much of what I do off how he will perceive it. I try to fight and ignore it but it’s agonizing and I don’t know how to let it go. We don’t even live in the same country anymore and don’t speak regularly, but we were close throughout high school and college.

I’ve been getting ghosted a lot. Can’t help but think I’m the problem at this point.
