After 6 months of drinking every night, I haven’t had a drink in 3 days and I feel amazing. The fog feels like it’s lifting a bit. Hang in there.

Woo hoo! I stopped drinking two years back, and reintroduced it once a month for fun. I’m still very careful, limit myself to 2 drinks when I’m out, no drinking at home, but that crap is poisonnnn

Have my MBA in project management, however still young and lack the required experiences. Having a hard time landing interviews, what should I be searching to apply for?

Is it normal for my psychiatrist to ask to schedule an appointment to lower the dose of my Ritalin XR prescription?

I’ve been on the same dose the past few months but recently it’s been causing a pretty bad crash for me so I wanted to lower it. Why the hell do I need to pay $60 for 10m of her time to prescribe me a lower dose of the same meds?

I’m wondering if I’m overreacting, or she’s purposefully trying to just get paid more

Does anyone here struggle with basic things at work? For example, being on time. I know it sounds basic, It’s not about waking up in time, my morning gets filled with something else, I misjudge time, I find something else to procrastinate. Second, filling out admin forms, I miss things, misunderstand. I am feeling really down on myself. I am I high performer and always deliver on complex projects, but these things, it’s like I’m totally out of it. Could it be ADHD? Depression (I’m medicated)?
