I might have PTSD from being a retail pharmacist during flu season...my first year post grad was the H1N1 outbreak and I couldn’t imagine being a 2020 new grad in retail, big chain pharmacy. God bless you all...but also, take care of yourself! There are no awards for fewest bathroom breaks taken or most self-sacrifice!

Is the COVID shot mixed in with the Flu Shot?

I get anxiety thinking about vaccinating in droves. I am the only pharmacist at my location who administers vaccines. It’s daunting. I’m licensed since 2013. I wish i chose a different career path.

Born in US and have always been proud to be American, but this 4th of July I don’t feel the same. We have a 🤡 as President, completely failed response to the Coronavirus, banned from entering Europe, and racial tensions and divisions all around. We are the laughingstock of the world. Anyone else feel the same way?

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

Coronavirus family drama - supposed to take a vacation to OCNJ in two weeks with the in-laws, two brother-in-laws and their wives. MIL is super worried about the virus. Wants everyone to isolate and get tested. We are. Already doing this, but no testing. Debating whether it’s even worth it to go anymore. I’m worried about things too, but I feel like she is being hypersensitive. What’s the point?

48/M, average health. Few weeks ago I had a seizure out of the blue. First time ever, no family history. At the hospital given lots of tests: MRI, CT, EKG, EEG, blood/urine/COVID tests. Everything came back normal. Since hospital discharge I’ve seen cardiologist and wore halter monitor for a week. All good. Have neurologist appointment next month but afraid no one knows why this happened. In the meantime no one wants me to drive a car. Can this happen again? Can anyone relate to this situation?
