🌟 #ADHDWin 🌟

Let’s take a moment to celebrate our wins—big or small! ADHD makes some things harder, so every accomplishment counts. Maybe you finished a project early (for once!), stayed on top of emails, or just remembered to eat lunch every day this week. What’s one thing you accomplished this week or month that you’re proud of? Let’s hype each other up! 🚀🎉

Oo! Oo! I made a bunch of phone calls this week. Making phone calls is so not me, but I did it! (Unfortunately none of them were for a job.) But, I feel good about it.

This week, I actually planned ahead for a big meeting instead of scrambling at the last minute! I set calendar reminders, prepped notes in advance, and didn’t have to rely on last-second adrenaline. Small win? Maybe. But for me, it’s huge.

I started a project today that I have been avoiding. Sometimes it’s just starting that is so hard.

Today I had to talk to a billing place about insurance and I pushed myself to make the call AND I asked her to repeat some things to me if I didn't understand. I hate phone calls but if I want to work front desk then I push myself. Today I started spring cleaning (😱) ik ik, I did get distracted a few times but then made myself back on the tasks. My goal is to do one room everyday this week!😁

I got everything on my to do list done and as it turns out, the things on it really didn't take long and could have been done weeks ago. I hate that I put off some of the easiest, least time consuming things because I think its going to take forever and a day.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

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?
