Hi everyone! New to the bowl. I have major ADHD, and have been on and off medicine. Although the medicine (adderal) helps me, I get VERY moody, mean, and easily irritated.

I’m a 9th year in Big Law and have been struggling to get much work done the last 1.5 months.

Has anyone ever experienced burn out right after launching something and needed to take a step back? If so how did you communicate that to the individuals who were working with you?
