With gyms reopening, does anyone plan on checking them out or is it still too sketch? If you have, how has it been? If you haven’t, when do you think you will?

I'm a 5',24F and have lost and kept of 15 pounds but can't seem to lose the last 5. I'm not gaining any weight but also not losing any even though I walk 10K steps a day and eat between 1200-1500 cals a day. Any thoughts?

New to the bowl - does anyone have any practical advice on minimising impact of ADHD on work (beyond meds). E.g., transcription software to cover your lack of focus in meetings, task management styles, etc?

My psychiatrist suggests I set up a 30 min appointment every time I need my ADHD medication refilled. I met with him the first couple of times but I feel its unnecessary given that I have been on the same dosage of Vyvanse for the last one year. I take medication on an as needed basis, so a 30 day supply lasts a couple of months.
Can doctors prescribe a years' prescription of these that I can refill every 30 or 60 days? Curious as to how it has worked for you.

Hey former grad students, how long did it take for you to mentally recover?

I wanted to get your thoughts on the following:
1. Health Insurance for your parents (assuming they are 60+)
2. Term life options for myself (under 30)

I recently went through a medical family emergency and realised how important insurance is. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

How do I say to my boss "I constantly drift off in meetings and when you're talking so could you please be more engaging or send this in an email?" without losing my job? Sometimes I'm in a meeting and when I leave I genuinely couldn't tell you what was discussed. Is there a scientific explanation for the brain fog I get with ADHD? Because it sucks.

Any thoughts on the 75 Hard challenge? I’ve started seeing it circulate on social media again and I’m interested to give it a try (I do better working out and eating well in a framework). But, I’m not sure I love how rigid the program is - seems like it could be setting you up for a bad relationship with your diet and/or exercise.

I’m curious how long people were in the peri menopause phase? I’ve read it’s an average of 4 years but I’m curious what people’s experiences are. I believe I am late stage peri menopausal and my periods have been very irregular for the past 9 months ranging 13-60 days between periods. If anyone has any studies you could point me to, I’d love to see those as well! I’m 40 and my mom entered menopause at 41.

Hi everyone. Wanted to get your thoughts on this situation. I was in an extremely toxic relationship with a narcissist for over 10 years. The trauma and abuse resulted in responsive abuse meaning I would turn into a person I was not proud of. I could “justify” some of my actions because I was in survival mode at the time. All of this trauma resulted in extreme depression and anxiety especially in regards to romantic relationships (I now know I have an anxious attachment style). Continued below..

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

Anyone have good running routes for long distance? 10+ miles (marathon training) looking for Scottsdale and north Phoenix areas. Thanks!

My company did a session last week about why menopause is everyone’s business. They shared a bunch of resources afterwards so thought I’d share here, see comments.
