Assume you would accelerate your and your family’s vaccinations by three months.

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.

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Canada for a job that I was initially thrilled about and very qualified for. However the first few months were difficult as a new immigrant and having to deal with a "start up" environment (I came from a larger, more structured institution). I've dealt with heavy competition and insecure leaders. It's been a real up and down experience for me and I lost a lot of professional confidence. Any advice if I should say and fight, move on,or take a work pause? Thanks.

Consulting with Clinical Depression has made me feel like a massive fraud. I CRUMBLE at the thought of client presentations (I freak out) and avoid being vocal in client meetings in fear of saying something stupid. I have had moments where I feel a little comfortable and confident in engagements, however generally I don’t feel confident at all.
I’ve been thinking about it much more lately from formal feedback from several projects that I’m not vocal enough and that I do offer good insights
