You guys I’m having really bad anxiety suddenly. 😳

Fellow gay fish. Thoughts on a PPO v HDHP (w/ HSA) for health insurance? I’ve always done the PPO with higher premiums because the high deductible scares me, especially with 4+ visits to PCP and lab draws, plus other STI testing. Anyone else have experience or advice on selecting between the two? I did some modeling and it seemed like the HDHP would be better but would love additional advice.

Is there a way to avoid having to fill a zillion paper forms every time we see a doctor?

Hello,

I just wanna say that my head feels better since I take lion's mane extract. I stopped zoning out, I have less narrations in my head simultaneously. I can actually do tasks on almost time. If someone wants to try, it's mandatory to take vitamin c with it. It's a life changer for me. I wanted to share it.

I've started my ivf shots (leuprolide and estradiol) for a frozen transfer next month. I got invited to an NFL game in a few weeks that I desperately want to attend but the game would be during my shot time.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I can't imagine the stadium will let me bring needles in. Did you just do the shot early or late and hope for the best?

How have other firms dealt with employees testing positive for COVID after reopening? I work at an Am Law 200 that reopened in June and has required all employees across all offices to start coming back in to work every day since then. We got notified that an employee in my office received a positive diagnosis but the office isn’t planning to close and doesn’t think contact tracing is necessary though the person likely still came into work every day last week while waiting for their test result.

I just found out my new coworker has ADHD. While that doesn’t bother me, I have never worked with someone with ADHD. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Where do people go to shop for clothes in Austin? I've only seen ultra high-and shops in the domain or four XL shirts. Everywhere else there isn't like a normal Macy's anywhere. You guys here gotta take it easy with the beef and beer diet.

ADHD advice. I have always thought a million miles a min on random things, but I managed to get through the schooling and tests to become a lawyer without any meds. Now I’m licensed and find it ridiculously hard to concentrate on any type of work. I have never been diagnosed but come from a parent who thought Advil was the gateway to coke. I want to try  Adderall, but keep seeing insane side effects / side effects from coming off it. Anyone deal with this? I just want to function ha

Ashwagandha. Look into it. With the Adderall shortage this has been an absolute life saver in my daily supplement pile.

Do you all take anything to ease cloudiness in your brain/think smarter? Also have more energy while working? Wondering if there are any vitamins out there....

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

Feel like I have no idea where to start. I want to lose weight and tone up, lifting weights at the gym is preferred but does anyone have a work out plan they recommend that will get me results?

My husband did his semen analysis last week and his morphology came out to be low i.e. 2 (normal range 2.5 to 4). He had done it couple of times few years ago and results were great. My doctor said I should check with fertility clinic for assessment. The appointments are not available immediately. Wanted to get guidance on these results. Anyone has been in a similar boat? Are these results really scary? His motility seems to be fine. Do these results fluctuate? Hope to hear back. Thank you!

Has anyone used Thesis to help manage their ADHD? I’ve been worried about using stimulants and it seems like a great alternative, but doubt it would be covered by insurance…

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along. Would you just go to a lower rated ob (taking 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp) the first few weeks and then switch when you are able?

Anyone work on a Mac and use parallels when in need of excel? If so, does it work or is it a big no-no?

I'm decently successful, but sometimes I feel so jaded about life

I have missed all the milestones of adulthood like marriage, kids, buying a house, and it’s hard to make those happen at this age. My career is behind and I have high anxiety around aging poor. Wtd?

Advice needed: seeing a psychiatrist first time to assess if I need short term medical leave to deal with anxiety. How did you guys start the conversation with your psychiatrist? What’s the degree of depression that requires medical leave or medicine? Don’t want to make a fuss if my problem is “normal” but neither want to overlook it. I had panic attack before flying back from a case that I thought I was dying...

Can anyone share their experience on Effexor for depression and anxiety? I used to be on Zoloft, which worked great, except I gained so much weight and lost all libido. I’ve been on Prozac for 6 months and I feel like it hasn’t helped for my depression, and it feels worse than before and I’m fatigued all the time. My dr wants me to try Effexor next, but I haven’t really heard much about it before. Does it affect your weight and energy levels?

Ever feel the loneliest when you’re in a room full of people/hanging with a group?

Started a new job about a month ago at a REAALLY good firm. The overall job is very difficult and tough to learn. I’m somewhat understanding it but having a hard time, the support/training is there but at the end of the day having a hard time with trying to grasp it all. Would really appreciate any advice on organization/staying focused or trying to learn a new job and staying optimistic without looking weak.

How to not sweat the small stuff?? Part of the reason I’m so worn out at the end of the day is because every minor thing stresses me out. Even if something is out of my control, I always think of ways I could have done something better to have more control over the situation. My goal is to just leave work at work and unwind at the end of the day without wondering about all these minor things!

Anyone else feel like you just can’t be upbeat anymore? Like you’ve had too many bad/unfortunate things happen and now you don’t trust anyone and feel like the world is against you? I can’t get past these thoughts and feelings lately, and now it’s impeding my work. Already seeing a therapist so I’m just looking for some advice from anyone else who has overcome this. Thanks.

I desperately need out of consulting and back into a normal schedule and routine. I haven’t redone my resume in awhile. Would anyone be willing to assist me in revamping my resume or review it soon

I feel like I am never taken seriously by people at work (left out of the loop on things, ignored, spoken over). I guess it must be some vibe I am giving out, but I don't know how to fix 😞

When anxious, time seems to speed up which makes one perceive time constraints when tackling tasks.

When not anxious, an hour feels like eternity and sufficient time to knock out tasks.

What are your techniques to slow down time?

Mine is to meditate, pop a klonopin, and write in a journal. This 30 minute routine quiets the mind and removes distractions.

I want my ex back.
I'll never find someone as great as her.
Especially not with this attitude.
