anyone been on adderall for a while and it just stopped working? i’m getting distracted more easily than before and losing motivation, even for things i want to do. while this may be partially due to anxiety/depression, i’m wondering if anyone has switched meds/doses after being on adderall for a long time and found it to be a big help.

I know this isn’t new but I drown myself in work and stay back late to avoid thinking about the things that make me sad in life. Being alone as an adult can feel pretty shit sometimes.

Senior Staff Consultant (Engineering) in a M->HCOL with 15 YOE currently making 95k. I feel I am underpaid. I am from another country working in the USA on an O1 visa. Can it be that my company is "using" that to their advantage? How do I approach this conversation? When I signed and agreed to my salary in March 2021 before coming over, costs in the USA in general (especially homes) were significantly lower than what they are now, effectively changing the value of my salary significantly.

Anyone have a manager that has a grudge against you? My manager missed something a few months ago which led to him explaining something wrong in a meeting with our other boss. I corrected him/gave him the answer (unthinkingly I'll admit) after our boss left, and since then he's had the worst attitude with me and only me. It's making work so awkward. What's the best way to solve this?

What promises have your firms made this year on increases in compensation/inflation adjustments? Senior partners in my firm/department (PwC - Germany) have talked about a “significant” increase across the board with rumors being anywhere from 6-11% and a 20-30% bonus increase. Real numbers will follow in August/September. Curious what other firms have announced.

How do you all manage exercise and meds? I take vyvanse and have a peloton, but am kinda scared of the heart rate increase combination.

In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!

Anyone else having issues with falling asleep in meetings? I‘m not sure if this is an ADHD thing or if there is something else wrong with me

ADHD in the closet due to mistrust that it won't impact my career negatively.

"high functioning" ADHD woman in that I hyper organise to not fall apart everywhere so I am doing well at work but it's exhausting me.

I wanted PM responsibilities to establish that I can take it and I'm doing well with great feedback. Now, honestly, I hate PMing because it hurts my ADHD brain to stay on top of everything as it is, but I asked for the responsibilities. Afraid to ask for more project work and less PM
