Hi!
it feels like every shoe recommendation I can find are either clogs or running shoes, and I was wondering if anyone had any good options that are similar to a heel (like ones that don’t have any slope for example?) but it’s been really hard to find anything :(

I’ve seen a few people in comments mention that they’ve found good options so I was wondering if anyone could share what they’ve found, I’m really struggling and I can’t go to work in appropriate shoes anymore…

Does anyone have any recommendations? I already have hokas but they aren’t very work-appropriate for me and I’d like to wear more than just running shoes everyday.

This is in the context of pursuing a PhD. I am aware that ETHZ is an excellent university and that it also offers life science options, however I feel like people only ever really discuss its strengths in engineering and computer science. Does anyone have any experience pursuing a life science degree at ETHZ? Is a doctoral degree from ETHZ still extremely valued in the life science field?

For context, I am currently pursuing my masters at a top 30 school (microbiology) so I would want to do my PhD somewhere that has a similar/stronger reputation, academic quality, and connections. As much as ETHZ is reputable, is this still true for a life science degree as well?

I’ve been taking Vyvanse for several years now for ADHD, along with an occasional 5-10mg of Dexedrine on days where I need an extra boost.

Initially, it worked great — I went from failing multiple classes (I did really well on assignments but was unable to do well on the in-person tests since I couldn’t focus enough in class and had massive procrastination issues for studying) to getting straight As and getting into an honour program.

However, I am now starting to see that it s effectiveness isn’t as good as what I remember it being even a year ago, and the completely paralyzing procrastination that I’d experienced pre-medication is back again. I have absolutely no motivation anymore. Nothing has happened to warrant this. It’s so bad that I’ve now delayed doing a presentation for an important project multiple times because I have yet to even start it, even though I know I’d be able to do well and i want nothing more than to have it be done. I’m literally cancelling plans with people to give myself the time to prepare my presentation, but I end up doing absolutely nothing while being filled with anxiety over it.

I’m in a complete motivationless spiral rn and was wondering if anybody else had experienced anything similar, and if they found anything to help them get through it. I’m not sure what to do to get myself to do things anymore, I feel like I’m a shell of who I was before. For context, I’m not even actively in school right now so it isn’t burnout, and I also am not close to menopause so I don’t think it’s hormonal either. Has anyone else experienced this?
