About to start adderall and im terrified it will make me disassociate / zone out more. Im trying it for the first time on the weekend to be home in case I trip out mentally but has anyone experienced this?

Do you just have adhd, or adhd + another diagnosis? Wondering if most of us are neurodivergent in more ways than one

PSA/rant: If you are sick, please stay home and do not go into the office!! Surprised that this even has to be said. Please do not try to be a martyr/hero by coming in - no one’s job is important enough to come in and get everyone sick (esp before Labor Day weekend!). And it’s so selfish to come in and risk getting everyone sick because you want face time with the boss.

One of the research scientists was talking about cytotoxic autophagy and I actually understood part of what he was saying, I guess I've been working here for awhile

For the parents with babies - is anyone finding formula in stock? We give my daughter enfamil nutramigen and cannot find it anywhere. Looked at CVS, Wegmans, Target, Harris Teeter. Even pediatrician didn’t have samples.

Are the rumors about a longer and earlier flu season and a hard Covid winter true? I'm not personally noticing an increase in patients who need prescriptions for flu-like symptoms but it seems to be what everyone's talking about in and outside of the pharmacy. Can anyone weigh in?

Marital counselling, mental health and therapy (through certified professionals) has been a taboo everywhere, but this is especially true amongst desis - be it in India or desis abroad. However, I’m curious to know how effective or useful it has been for people who have ACTUALLY gone through counselling when going through marital issues, for example. There are many comments recommending it, but are people speaking from personal experience or because it’s been popularised in web series/movies/TV?

People that have given up drinking who didn’t have a problem with alcoholism or addiction: how long have you gone? What were the positive outcomes?

If your brand isn’t willing to put their money toward a brand action that genuinely helps people in a tangible way, then maybe a coronavirus brief isn’t for them.

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

I got assigned to big pharma client that has problems re opioid crisis. My sister is an opioid addict, homeless, ruined my mom financially. How do I get off this gig & stay professional about it.

1.6m vaccines sent to Georgia and 1m administered. If there are 600k available why can’t my eligible family members get an appointment? Looks like they are only using 30k per day.

How do you make time for exercise with a full time job, studying etc? I feel like whenever I get into a regular workout routine it becomes a huge time commitment and it distracts me from doing other important things. I have been thinking of trying some ideas I heard like breaking my workout apart throughout the day in short 10-20 minute increments. Are there any other suggestions? 🤷‍♂️

Just discovered that I am pregnant!! So excited as it has been a long journey of infertility. Any recommendations for prenatal vitamins after getting pregnant?

Mom of two here (21 month old and 5 month old) who is starting to consider having a third. I am in my late 30’s and my doctor just recommended I start trying at 6 months postpartum. I am thinking I want to start closer to 8-10 months postpartum but have no idea what to expect with a third. Is anyone in a similar situation? Moms or Dads of two, do you ever look back and wish you had tried for three? Moms or Dads of three, how was the transition from two to three and how much did life change?

how have covid outbreak cases been in the city? moving back soon and want to gauge what it’s been like for vaccinated folks

I still see the eyes of my patients as they are intubated and the fear they projected. So many died. My heart hurts for them, their families and all of those who cared for them until the end. Having some serious PTSD from this pandemic.

Reviving the happy hour idea. How about in SF one Friday in April? 🍻🍸🍷

Looking at moving to SF soon. Any recommendations on what neighborhoods to look at? Office would be close to Salesforce tower, so something with easy commute to there would be great. Single late twenties male if that matters. I am interested in areas that are generally not dead and where I can meet people. Thank you.

Any fish tried Roma Craft Neanderthal? What do you think?

Is it easier to move to an UMM/Megafund from MBB or from a LMM fund?

Going on a trip with two other friends we are getting a hotel room for a week with two beds. Two of us are obviously going to have to share the bed. We were going to split the cost of the hotel 3 ways. But what is equitable? Should the person getting one bed pay slightly more? If so, how much more?

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

What’s a good salary range for Audit Staff 2 in Montréal or Toronto?

Hi how much in hand for 15LPA. 1.5lac is variable.

Does anyone work in an area with lots of exterior environmental noise (traffic, concerts, trains, etc.) and have tips for not becoming overwhelmed and/or distracted by it? I’m finding that environmental noise has increased near my office now that tourism has picked back up in my city, and I’m struggling to block it out. I’ve tried earplugs but the noises tend to vibrate my office building so the earplugs don’t work well as an entire block.

Lit associates-what all do you delegate to your assistant? What do you ask them to do that helps you manage your symptoms?

Billable hour question: is anyone else just completely incapable of keeping up with your time? I’ve been an attorney for 3 years now and tried everything I can think of to figure this out but I just can’t do it. It’s the same thing at the end of every month - staying up late entering in an entire month of time. Luckily most clients I work for are flat fee/percentage based but I still feel like a failure for not being able to do this thing that seemingly every other lawyer can do. Any tips?

I hate people defending themselves or others who use ADHD meds recreationally. Like I shouldn’t blame them for all the trouble I have to go to every month to get my prescriptions because it’s a bigger societal problem. 🙄

Life coach/adhd coach - is it worth it? Just for accountability?
For more - can they even help with executive functioning and developing work systems, when they are non lawyers, who don't know what I'm going through or how to navigate the legal system? I see stuff online for adhd coaches for attorneys and I'm afraid I'm going to pay for common sense stuff that doesn't actually help.

All the other attorneys I know are too busy to mentor me through something like this, or hold my hand...

I am out of Adderall and have about 40 hours of work to do this weekend. I’ve been calling my prescriber since yesterday at 9am and she’s usually super quick to call in my Rx.. but this time the front office just kept telling me “she hasn’t gotten to it yet” and now they’re closed for the weekend. Feeling so defeated. What do I even do? It takes me 3x as long to do anything without it and it’s almost painful trying to sit still and work..

I am having hard time managing my adhd and need to get on medication. Never been on one. Have a dr appointment coming up. What are some meds that I should avoid? New to this@so quite clueless!

Anyone else struggle to enter time daily? If you’ve overcome this hurdle, how did you do it? I keep a notebook for my time and then send it off to a secretary to enter but I still miss so much of it that I always have to go back through my emails.

How do you approach the initial conversation with your doctor? I have taken a variety of both anti anxiety and anti depressants. Nothing works. I’ve been reading online and in this bowl, and a lot of ADHD symptoms really resonate with me. They have for a long time, frankly, but I couldn’t get my former provider to take me seriously when I was in college/law school. I’m hoping the context of being out of school helps, but I just want to make sure I maximize my odds of getting help (cont)

I don't think I'm cut out for this career. My adhd gets in the way.

Big law. I liked it because it provided the panic-like environment that keeps me motivated enough to do work, but I’m struggling because being in a constant state of panic is extremely exhausting physically and mentally. But I’m having a hard time getting motivated if there is no fire drill. Anyone found anything on that has helped?

Does anyone have tips/methods for staying on top of all the little things? I’m in litigation and it’s a constant struggle to make sure I have accurate and up to date ‘bring ups’ and that I float anf rename all my emails and get all my time in and update my partner etc. like I can maybe get 1 or 2 but I’m never on top of everything and it’s so hard!

My partner now accepts and understands I am just going to have some organised chaos but also I want to make this little shit work for me!

What are your best tips and strategies for keeping track of time and billing during the day? I recently went from a practice where my workload and tasks were 6-8 hour blocks a day (primarily taking days long deps) to one where I do a blend of litigation and litigation management. I’m finding that I’m missing huge chunks of time at the end of the day and I have no idea where it’s going.

How do you deal with the procrastination and lack of focus that comes along with adhd? I cant work 4 hours straight wihout a break.. take small breaks more often? How to avoid putting things off??

I know I’ve seen a few similar posts before in the past, but do you guys have preferred/recommended apps to keep you organized and productive with work? I have my work calendar and synced through outlook on my phone, but just looking for suggestions to keep everything as organized as possible.

Can we pin a post with recommendations for professionals and therapists that you can trust in your geographic location? If so, I’ll start in the comments with my recommendation.

I finally got diagnosed with ADD, inattentive type, at 28 years old. I’ve known I had depression and anxiety for years, but the symptoms and treatment never added up. It took WFH in a pandemic to realize maybe I had ADD, and still months of being dismissed and made to feel like I was crazy before I found a doctor to administer the MMPI. I feel validated, finally, but I can’t help feeling grief too over so much lost potential and unnecessary failure, especially in law school and my career.
