Anyone try ADHD coaching? Have any recommendations?

Has anyone tried getting their CVA? If so, what was your experience like (besides awful I am sure)? Looking to sit for it once I return to the states.

My mom is mid-50s and has started having what appear to be mini blackouts. Her face contorts like she is laughing or crying, and she is unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. When we ask her what is wrong, she has no idea what we are talking about and no memory of the event.

Any idea what this might be or how to even begin the diagnostics?

I could like to cut down my coffee consumption. Can we have that discussion here?
Has anyone successfully stopped consuming completely? Any side effects? How do you tay focused?

I am down with 102 fever and cold since the booster. Could this also be covid?

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

Was anyone else here considered an "essential worker" during 2020? I feel like I'm still recovering from that year!

Hello Sharks,

Any suggestions on best term and health insurance. And what points we should keep in mind before considering the option?

So had my IUI last Friday, I go for bloodwork this coming Friday. But I’m so tempted to test, I just don’t want to be disappointed… any tips?? I waited this long what’s another few days 😬😩

I’m starting a new job and my current health insurance ends on my last day (then I’m taking a week off) and my new insurance won’t kick in until 6 weeks later. Has anyone been in this predicament? COBRA is hella expensive and I have prescriptions I’ll need to pay for so I need something. Is there legit no other option but to use COBRA in the interim?

Dealing with post partum dep/anx. On my 5th day of Zoloft 50mg for the first time and the days are still really really hard. Is it the side effects? How long before I should feel somewhat better/normal? Really struggling today. Any insight into your experience would mean a lot.

If I forget to click that I’m doing a “run” in activity app on my Apple Watch, would the watch still capture the appropriate number of active calories?

On a weekday, when can I slow down (respond in 30 mins instead of 5) or go to sleep? I’m sure it’ll depend on deal pace, but in general?

12/15 Check-In: What is everyone’s workout plan today?

I’m heading to my 6am spin class shortly 🙌🙌🙌

Do you go see your parents when they are getting surgery?
I've never been afraid of surgery before and my dad's had a bunch (from military). He lives a few states away but I usually get to see him quite often. He's only in his 40s and my mom is with him. The surgery he's about to have is considered high risk. I'm not worried or anything, but it's it customary to go see them when they're having a major surgery? He'll be in-patient for at least a week. Sounds I go after and help my mom? WWYD?

Shout out to all my sikh brothers/sisters for coming out in support for covid hit people in India. Oxygen langar is just one of many godsend efforts. How can I help in it or any other work that you’re doing? Peace ✌️

My two young toddlers are home from daycare for the next 1.5 weeks for the holidays, and I have off work to watch them. It’s only been 2 days, and I’m so exhausted that I’m counting down the days until I go back to work and they are in daycare. Does anyone have any tips for enjoying this time? I love my kids so much, but how do SAHMs do this every day? I’m so drained already, and I have no patience left…

I was just let go from my company.
I had a feeling something was up, but didn’t think it would go down like this.
Trying to keep my head up but I’m so so disappointed and I know that the depression will hit soon enough.

Does anyone have experience where, when one thing goes “wrong”, and not even that it was wrong a mistake, but a complication, you feel overwhelming dread, stress and you shut down and can’t function? When you’re in litigation, this happens so frequently but I can’t control my reaction to anything! Help!

Condo insurance recommendation?

Hi, One of my friend is joining KGS gurgaon soon. They have offered her Senior designation with 12 lpa fixed. Need to understand where she is in hierarchy and how much time it takes to be promoted to next level.

How is downtown Toronto these days? Is it worth it?

Moving to Toronto for a new job and have the option of living downtown on my own or with some family in the outer suburbs.

We really need to get together

Seriously how can a person become a deeper person not merely logical!

Idk what to do anymore. A few years back I struggled with gambling addiction and put myself in so much debt and never told anyone. Fast forward I have a gf who thinks I’m successfully but I am drowning in debt still that I truly don’t know how I’ll get out of. Can’t keep up with bills and put this front up much longer. Absolutely miserable

I’m going on my third year with my company. I really enjoy working here but feel under valued. As a female manager,never recognized or appreciated. Very boys club around here. I started with being in charge of 3employees & now I am at 11.I was at $46k then got bumped up to $52k before hiring 8 new employees. Looking for advice on what to do/pay.

What’s the closest job role in consulting for the Tech Lead role in tech companies? I’m a technical lead focused on research and strategy for a digital strategy consulting firm but our roles have tech companies names… I do team leadership (42 people in 10+ teams/clients reporting to me) projects technical proposals and selling for new clients, methodologies leadership, help project managers… I wanna go to another consulting firm but I get a bit confused where what I do would fit there.

Just post a random word and I swear I will incorporate all of them in my next script.

Any tips on how to move out of social community management? What roles are a good next step?

Anyone find themselves apologizing for everything, even stuff other people messed up? If I’m just relaying info and that turns out to be wrong, I still am the one to apologize. Especially if it’s to attorneys or partners. Why do I do this?

Best after work spots in The Loop?

Haven’t been in awhile, but starting back at the office again next week.

Thoughts on account executive roles at Google?

When I was diagnosed, I struggled to find any info out there on adults and workplace etc. Thinking of setting up just a blog space for people’s stories, anonymously. If anyone’s happy to tell their story or an experience that might be useful lmk. Happy to provide a framework of questions so you don’t have to write a think piece... could be how it impacts work, advances your work, learnings from medication, learnings from stress, how you tell people, etc - anything that could help others!

Cant take adderal because the side effects are just too hard on me. Are there any other meds I should talk to my doctor about? I am tired of being Dory.

ADHDers who’ve been taking stimulants for 10+ years daily… do you feel you can take this forever or it will cause health issues long-term?

I’ve had enough. I may or may not have ADHD but I damn think so, as well as people I’ve talked to about it. I know I am smart and can accomplish certain things/tasks, but I literally just can’t get my mind to it sometimes. It was bad in college and only got worse since I started working. How do I go about at least getting tested or what’s the the process? Thank you so much in advance.

Long one - one of my best friends (10+ years) and I had a drink last week, I told her of my recent ADHD diagnosis and how we had noticed the generational trend (my mum & grandad as very similar symptoms wise and they acknowledge this, but not diagnosed). The friend mentioned her therapist has suggested she may had ADHD (inattentive type) - she then told me a few things like how she's absolutely neurotypical and she's never associated herself with neurodiversity etc, she made a ... Tbc

Did anyone else hear these phrases constantly growing up? “You’re smart but lazy”. “Your problem is you get bored too easily."

My biggest ADHD symptom is - Getting easily frustrated with the smallest things. Lashing out or being constantly irritated with everything. Happens especially at the end of the day when the Vyvanse medication is wearing off. Also, happens on non-medicated days.

Anyone else struggle with this? I have been trying to meditate and being aware of my surroundings.

Has anyone tried Keto and experienced a improvement in ADD symptoms? I’m really trying to get off medication at some point. I’ve tried exercise, but need more. Thanks! :)

Prescribed wellbutrin but have serious side effects. Was hoping this would be the magic pill. So bummed and ready to give up.

Did a teladoc consultation today and got confirmed for ADHD. Was asked to go on medication given nature of job. Was told side effects are negligible after 30 years of age. Thoughts?

First day on adderall. I feel on fire! Like I am ready to run a marathon type of excitement! That said, I am talking so fast and my brain is going so fast.. i feel like a crazy person . I started at 10mg. Doctor wanted me to do 10mg 2x a day but definitely not. Any tips to look less crazy? Thanks !

I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep so I can rest and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, market sizing drills, and more 🤕

I'm cutting back to my usual dose of D3 because I think the higher COVID dose is disrupting my sleep, but how else do you recommend shut down your mind when your ADHD mind won't turn off work.

Slides and stimulants: Do you not end up making lots of sloppy mistakes on slides when on stimulants? If so, how do you resolve this.

How do y’all fall asleep and get your 7-8 hours? Just spent the whole night tossing and turning

Anyone take benazepril or other blood pressure medications?

What is an actually fun way to excercise? I’m feeling like a human hamster running on a wheel when I’m on the treadmill.

How did you find medication that worked for you? Please share your experiences or lessons learned. My pcp recommended a neurologist and I am not sure it is working.

Can my physician prescribe me extended release for daily use and immediate release to take as needed. Has anybody ever had that?

I’m so grateful for my late term diagnosis 18 months ago and my medication because i function like a human now. But it also makes me feel a bit sad that my brain is “broken” and even needs medication.

People that are not neuro-divergent are really just waking up everyday and living their lives with this level of clarity and stamina by breathing air.

Sigh.
