I am someone who loved to develop solutions, creating and solving problems. As a scientist I got to do that using my critical thinking but a bad boss pushed me out of it and I am considering PM. What do you love about this job? Does it allow you to think critically?

Hi all! I’ve had a crazy but fun career trajectory. I started out as a computational researcher, did an internship as an MLE in a clinical research org and got a full time role there. Didnt get promoted for 3.5 years and decided to apply to any and all roles, recently got an internal promotion for a PM role and very excited to leave my bad ex boss behind. However, I love research and biotech and would eventually do a PhD but in the meantime, I want to get closer to Biotech like either working in pure research scientist roles or PM in biotech. How can I achieve this? Thanks!

Hi all! My parents got me a guy last year around May or something. At that time I wasn’t interested and the guy was based on the opposite end of the country and I did not find it feasible to make it work so I told them no. The guy was decent on paper and a decent match. Towards the end of last year, I reconsidered and added him on social media without telling my parents to see if he was interested. He added me and i saw he’d gotten married. I was a bit surprised as I did not know people get married so quickly in AM but I guess lesson learnt. Anyway, I kinda regret it now but couple of questions - have any of you let a good match pass? How’d it go for you? Any regrets?

Hi all, I am looking for a consistent plan to build muscle. Which one would you recommend? Ideally, it would incorporate running too but if not that is fine as well as I am mainly looking to gain muscle.

I talked to my mom this week 2ice for an hour and with my dad about 5-10 mins, with my sister for 30 mins twice. How often do you guys connect with your parents?

Hi guys! I just completed a half but during this process could not focus on weight loss because was constantly hungry. Now, I want to focus on weight loss but don’t want to give up running completely. How can I focus on losing about 10 lbs while running and strength training? If any of you have done it successfully, pls lmk! I’m 27, 153 lbs and 5’7 if it helps! Any advice would be helpful. TIA! :)

Hi guys, I am a new addition to this sub but I realized I most likely have pmdd recently. I am feeling severely anxious right before my period and could not get enough sleep last night. What helps you around this time?

Would love to hear from people who are close to their immediate families as well!

Hi all! I have a bone to pick about something with my therapist said recently. I was telling him how I am close to my family and my sister seems to be growing distant and we worry for her. I call my family multiple times a week while she calls them once every two weeks and barely talks. I come from a culture where family is given a lot of importance. We’re all very close or used to be and open as a family. He said calling parents multiple times a week is a lot and should not be an expectation. Is it considered a negative thing to be close with family or maintain regular contact with them everyday or every other day to check in? I think it’s essential to strike a balance but that’s my general thought around it. People who are close to their families, what do you guys think? Maybe it’s a culture thing idk.

ETA: He’s been a great therapist otherwise except this one thing he is a bit biased about! Is it worth bringing it up with him?

Hi guys! I did HM end of April and took a break until last week. Are 2 weeks enough of a break? Thinking of starting another HM plan!

Hi all! I struggle with anxiety but am generally able to manage through my coping tools but I get really bad anxiety a week or few days before my period and it goes away once period starts. I was reading on this sub that depression is a major symptom of PMDD but is anxiety too and what are the solutions to tackle it? I am not on any medication for anxiety. Is it similar to that but taken during the week before the periods? I am worried about weight gain, loss of libido and other side effects associated with taking anti anxiety medication. Thanks!

Hi guys! I have a studio in Manhattan so I am looking for 70ish couch recommendations as I cannot find any good ones. I am going to be sitting and working on it for long periods of time so I need it to be comfy. I am looking for good seat depth. If you have any recs please let me know! Thanks!

Hi all! I have a younger sister who has been in a good relationship for 2 years or so now while I have been single almost all my life except one relationship when I was 18 and that was also pretty bad. I am 27 now and I had several short term relationships during this time which did not translate into anything more and I’ve made peace with the idea that I may remain single. I am trying to put myself out there thru hobbies and dating apps but they havent led me to relationship. All this to say, I am doing my bit. However, I can’t help but feel jealous of my sister’s relationship because it feels like she has something I wanted for such a long time. It’s getting so bad that I try to actively avoid meeting or talking about her partner so I don’t have to think about it. I have talked about this in therapy but the solution is to focus on getting myself the life I want and that is simply not happening for me. I understand it’s not nice to be jealous of family but I think I try to be there for my sister in a capacity that doesn’t hurt the both of us but also creates a distance between us. How have you managed something like this? Thanks!
