ADHD advice. I have always thought a million miles a min on random things, but I managed to get through the schooling and tests to become a lawyer without any meds. Now I’m licensed and find it ridiculously hard to concentrate on any type of work. I have never been diagnosed but come from a parent who thought Advil was the gateway to coke. I want to try  Adderall, but keep seeing insane side effects / side effects from coming off it. Anyone deal with this? I just want to function ha

I recommend seeing a therapist (ideally one who can prescribe medication) who specializes in patients with ADHD and asking them what they think about the pros/cons of various drugs. My sister is ADHD and has gone on and off drugs at various times, for her it’s a combination of medicating during phases when it feels needed, making lifestyle adjustments based on what she has seen to help improve her focus, and regular therapy to help develop strategies that work. Doubt any one person is exactly the same, so partnering with a professional who specializes in ADHD would probably be helpful long term, whichever route you take.

Second Deloitte’s comment. As someone who has dealt with ADHD during my life, I would agree that it’s not a simply solution but seeking help and possibly dealing with going on and off medication as it is needed. Feel free to reach out directly if you would like.

The side effects can be unpleasant but for me they are outweighed by the benefit. I did not take any medication in school so my situation is similar to yours. A psychiatrist will be able to help you figure out which medication to try and what dose

This happened to me also and I noticed it more in the “real world” outside of school. It’s because in school you had so much structure and now you don’t have that. Agree with the other recommendations to see a therapist and determine your best course of treatment

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
