26 years old. Diagnosed bipolar at 17 and life has always been so hard to get through. Just got diagnosed with ADHD (in addition not instead but still helpful info) and started adderall. Omg the functionality I’ve been missing out on?? Turns out I’m good at and enjoy my job?? Literally always thought I’d be someone who was bright but unable to achieve because they couldn’t remember things or made careless mistakes. I finally feel like I might be able to move up? :)

I am so happy for you! Isn't it amazing to find ourselves when we can sort ourselves out!!! Haha I am with you though, it's truly life changing

Married to someone who was diagnosed with both(bipolar+adhd). They love their adderall. I’m nervous about side effects but also being supportive since that’s my #1 job—support. It’s hard. Sending you love and happy for your progress.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
