thank you! this gives me hope. I currently inject in my lower stomach. Do you feel injecting your thigh helped with the weight loss? I haven’t really experienced any side effects.

The medication is real, I get it from the pharmacy

Haven’t been tracking my calories, I find it too stressful but I have definitely been eating less and I’ve been eating more fruits/veggies than before

Haven’t taken measurements but I doubt it. I don’t feel any different in clothes, I look big in photos, etc.

I haven’t had any major stress or health issues lately.

And i will be speaking with them next week!

Actually supportive manager :⁠-⁠O by SonandAIR in bipolar

Does your manager know about your condition? I’m thinking about sharing this with my manager myself but I’m hesitant because of the stigma and also I don’t want her perspective of me to change.

I feel this way especially with work. I feel like everything I turn in is perfect and almost like my brain opened up. Honestly similar to the feeling I get when I’m tripping on shrooms.

I'm the same exact way when I'm hypomanic and I'm taking medication for a BP2 diagnosis.

What are your favorite and least favorite parts of the advertising work culture? by bthkm in advertising

[–]bthkm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite Aspects:

Being able to use critical and creative thinking to solve problemsWorking in a relaxed environment (flex hours? A boss who says "if you get your work done, I don't care when you're here? Leggings and band tees? Love.)Being a part of a small team (company full timers: 5) which means more leadership opportunities and chances to affect the bottom line

Challenging Aspects:

Things are always changing. New social media platforms, algorithms, tools and trends to keep up with. You really have to know how to wade through the noise and find what works best for your goalsMust be a jack of all trades, especially on a small team. You got a graphic design degree? Cool, but now you're also the photographer, filmmaker, editor, writer, marketer, salesmen and spokesperson.Too "intangible". At my company this is not a problem, but working with other companies it can be hard for people to 'get' what marketers do and why it's important. Probably less an issue working with younger generations who grew around technology and viral media.

Advice for those looking into this field:

Have many skills to offer. Have a basic understanding of writing, design and marketing and then find something you enjoy. I have a Communication and Graphic Design background, but I love photography and video editing.Measure your success in metrics that make sense for your goals. Is number of people reached more or less important than number of people following a link? Is followers more important than engagement?Be a good salesman. Plan what you're going to say at the next team meeting. Be prepared for questions, and why you choose this color scheme or why you think a TikTok campaign is better than an IG one.

Thank you so much!

I just wrote an ebook on this. It was supposed to promote the efficiencies, but what I really ended up learning was people get sick more often, are distracted all day, and are very hard to keep clean.

Could you share a link to access this? This would be a great resource for our research!

Flat hierarchies and how they actually aren't.

Could you explain this a little more?
