Why is going into the office even a couple days a week seem like it’s such a negative now a days? I understand Covid can be a reason but people still go out to eat, socialize, etc. Does anyone miss the in person social aspect of work that a zoom meeting doesn’t fully provide?

I honestly think it’s the commute for most. If I lived within 10 minutes of my office I wouldn’t mind at all, but I have an hour commute in traffic each way.

I really miss the in-person part a lot. I have a commute but i still would do it for not feeling as isolated. I don't have a significant other so I'm sure that makes a difference. A1 lol - I wish people could vote on which people should get to be in the office for what days/if at all lol

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
