Anyone else been binging the most egregious foods/amounts that nothing is even satisfying anymore? Like food tastes dull during and nauseating after I’m finished. And nothing even sounds that appetizing anymore, but I’m still addicted to purchasing food, it’s still all I think about, and I still eat like I’m a motor despite feeling sick with myself and the food. I don’t know. I just feel more trapped than ever by this.

I just moved back from out of state after 4 years and I’d like to have my birthday celebration downtown with friends. I’m no longer super familiar with what’s going on in the city, so I’m looking for some recommendations. I have 10 people in the party, men and women. It’ll be on a Saturday. I’d like to do dinner somewhere that’s not overly fancy but still a nice time with good food, and then something fun to do afterwards. Bar recs or otherwise are appreciated!! I’ve gotten recommendations for fancier restaurants, but I don’t want my guests to have to spend a crazy amount on food! Thank you :)

I am concerned for a friend. Whenever he comes around these days, he spends up to two hours in the bathroom while at the get-together and usually ends up sleeping for hours, or going home to sleep. He never stays long if he’s not sleeping or in the bathroom. He recently moved into an apartment with his girlfriend — come to find out, they broke up because according to her, she “just can’t help him anymore.” This was relayed via his brother. He and his ex are still living together even though they are not a couple. He told us he’s on medical leave from work; he’s also mentioned that he’s in a lot of debt and seeing a therapist regularly. Since he’s not working, he has been mowing lawns for mon

I’m looking for a restaurant to take my extended family to celebrate graduating medical school. I’d like it to have nice a nice atmosphere and be on the fancier side, but still have great food. Italian or steak options would be especially helpful!

My rabbit is molting terribly but he won’t put up with brushing or me pulling out the loose tufts on his sides/rear. It really seems to bother him — every time I manage to pull out a tuft, he immediately runs away and gives me some feet flicks. But he hates the metal brush, won’t even let it touch his head (it does seem rather uncomfortable on the skin tbh) and he barely tolerates the soft brush, especially where he needs it most. I’ve tried letting him eat way too much banana from one had while I brush/pluck with the other, but it’s a back and forth game of him tolerating it for a few seconds, running away, giving my the butt, coming back for a repeat of events until finally he refuses to p

The older I get, and the more responsibilities I have to take on, the worse my ADHD is getting. My self esteem is so low. I’m chronically burnt out and fatigued, making sticking to shit even harder. This is more disabling than my panic attacks/anxiety, because it doesn’t FUCK OFF. If I’m not on meds, I’m fucking my life up. I just failed a course two months before graduation because I forgot to submit the 8 click-through online assignments on time. This is after a month of busting my ass and getting a good evaluation from my preceptor, I now have to remediate because of one stupid mistake. Because I forgot. And that excuse doesn’t work in the real world, it’s the most helpless fucking feelin

My bunny was rescued from an animal hoarder with 12 other rabbit and as a result he’s very skittish and food focused. I have a hard time getting him to pay attention to anything else. He won’t play with any toys I’ve gotten him — he ignores stuffed animals, chew toys (unless they’re food), and only plays with stacking cups if I put a treat in them. I tried playing “reverse fetch” with chew sticks but that didn’t interest him. He doesn’t do chasing or anything of that nature. I just feel bad because he’s not aggressive whatsoever, purely skittish, and I worry that he’s not enjoying himself as much as he should. Does anyone have some play ideas they could share that he might enjoy? I want him

I'm trying to send a letter of interest to a program, however, I cannot find the PD's email anywhere -- not ERAS or the residency's website. I have the program coordinator's email -- should I just sent it to them and not mention that I don't have the PD's email? Is it even worth my time to send it only to the coordinator?

I'm on an audition rotation and have to present a short lecture for didactics. I want to do a topic that's relevant but not overly easy. Any suggestions appreciated.

I’m applying FM and I’ve been fortunate enough to receive 12+ interviews. All my signaled programs have invited me, but I’m still holding out hope for a few other programs. Is now a safe time to start cancelling interviews? Most of mine are virtual.

I submitted my application before 9 AM but I missed assigning my boards transcript to the programs I applied to. A coordinator emailed me about a few hours after apps opened for review and I was thankfully able to correct the mistake. I was so anxious last night that I had badly hurt my app but I am happy to report that I’ve received multiple interviews today! So if you made this mistake but corrected it quickly, you’re probably okay. Hope this helps someone. (Disclaimer is two of the three invitations came from my home state and we’re ones I signaled. The last has a mission/patient population that aligns with my preferences and PS.)

I received a message in ERAS from a program I applied to this morning letting me know that my boards score hadn’t been uploaded. Everything else was assigned and uploaded before 9:00 AM today, but I forgot to assign my boards score. I cannot believe it. I rushed to pay the fee and assign it to the programs I applied to, and ERAS does list the transcript as successfully sent, but my main concern is that I just blew all the effort it took to submit early. How bad of a screw up is this?

As a high schooler/college student, I was engrossed by 9/11. Every year on the anniversary I’d dive back into learning about it, largely from the internet. I was obsessed with finding every last anecdote, recording, photo, etc., to the point that it began to damage my mental health a bit (definitely was too young to be seeing some of it). About five years ago I decided to stop for this reason, and I’ve kept my distance until this year when I felt ready to revisit.

But in my search this year I’ve realized that the internet had been totally wiped. I have vivid memories of videos of people falling, pictures of the injured, and recordings of final phone calls. Amy Sweeney’s call from Flight 11
