Where to find a good therapist in Chicago? Most of the PHDs who take insurance seem to be mediocre

Any men here done keratin treatment for hair? Do u recommend?

I have started 'no screens' hour as the first hour when I wake up and the last hour before I sleep.

I realized there is no need to start thinking of that meeting, or how to create that presentation from the moment I wake up.

What is that 1 change you made to your lifestyle that has helped your mental wellbeing?

Hoping you all can stand with me in prayer. I’m emotionally and spiritually tired. I want my peace back. My self esteem has taken a huge shot. And I feel like I’m in a spiritual tug of war.

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

Ya’ll take ya vitamins today?

How are you taking care of yourself if you have depression? All of my ways of staying grounded and motivated were attached to my routine and the fulfillment from work. I feel like I’m losing all motivation and struggling more the longer remote learning goes on.

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

Any other sober folks in the sales world who can give me some advice? Really struggling to keep up with the office culture when happy hour is impossible for me. 1.5 years sober and want to stay that way.

Moved from Canada and I have to say, big pharma in the US might very well be the devil himself. In Canada, medications that cost $30-$40, are hundreds of dollars here. Honestly thinking of leaving the field because I can't stomach the corruption.

After years of dragging my feet on getting therapy, today I realized after 3 sessions how warped my thinking has been and how it has held me back. I wished that I had worked through and unpacked this shit a long time ago. Anyways , just wanted to recommend anyone on the fence to give it a try

Any recommendations for a therapist that understands high stress/high demand professions, and whose recommendations don’t include “just turn off of your phone or try not responding to emails”? Bonus points if they understand ADHD as well.

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

F*****-up story…please be constructive (but also open & direct)
With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

Will get COVID vaccine today. That means party is an option at b school?

Help me get over my covid anxiety: had plans with a friend but they got exposed to covid. Got a neg rapid test but feel like they have a sore throat and still want to hang. Given rapids don’t necessarily detect omicron plus the symptoms, I’m a bit concerned. I’m WAAAY more cautious than most when it comes to covid (not doing indoor events yet, still masking). We’d be outdoors anyways, so do I put my anxiety aside and risk it or ask them to get a PCR and just postpone to next week?

Pharma Insight Bingo!? I’ll start. “Patients have settled for a new normal.”

Too much noise out there - can someone confirm or deny whether the US Government funded gain of function research related to Covid?

Anyone with US Trust as a PCA? Looking for additional details in terms of the culture, day to day type of things and how you’re doing there vs. what the recruiter stated was the average?

To all the event profs out there, could anyone please advise on what is the base salary of a Senior Event Coordinator in Toronto? Thanks!

What are the companies I can switch from Eli Lilly? Can I try for product based companies like Amazon and Uber?

Heading to Las Vegas for New Year's, any recommendations for hotels?

Where do y’all work? I work as a consultant at a big four in San Francisco. Looking to move to phoenix but am trouble finding consulting firms that operate in the city. Any recommendations?

Have any 🐠 out here pre-ordered, “Quit Like a Woman?” I’m excited to read it. I subscribe to Tempest and Love Sober and Soberistas.

I'm a fresher & will be joining Deloitte Hyderabad this Dec. How is the food in PG? How safe is Hyderabad for girls? Bus connectivity is good?

TIA

Hey Fishies
I interviewed at Infosys yesterday and it went well I am expecting positive feedback from HR. Does anybody know how much time they will take in reviewing after my interview i received a message from them that we are reviewing your profile.

Just had a phone screen today for the Account Strategist role. The recruiter said that the target level is l3 or l4 (I have 5+ yoe in performance marketing). Should I push for l4? Additionally, how long does it usually take before I hear back from the recruiter. Thank you!

We didn’t listen!!!
