Best ADHD tip for someone who hasn't yet been prescribed any meds? Waiting 6 months for the formal assessment despite the doc saying " yep you've got ADHD"

Hi fishes,
Anyone from eQ Technologic here ?

Have any 🐠 in the Boston area tried home-schooling? Our son goes to a private school and with COVID likely to impact schools into next year, we don’t want to pay the high-tuition fee if he is going to be home for a good chunk of time. Full disclosure : we are not religious, the public school in our town is not that good, and we are not in a position to switch houses or towns for the next 2-3 years. Also, S/O wants to stay-home for the next 2 years and I can work remote 2-3 days a week (cont.)

How do I find a seasoned professional female mentor? I’m almost 30 and I just feel like I need some help with career direction into leadership roles and advice on self growth.

So I finally dug deep and realized I have a gift for brand designing. I realized if I tweak my resume and portfolio I can get an entry level job in the the branding design industry. So please feel free to tell me what job titles I should apply to?!

What are you guys interested in outside of work?

How are you protecting Russian students right now? The school I work at is mostly second gen Eastern European, Black, and Hispanic. Kids are going after the Russian students non stop right now. But their families are claiming it isn’t wrong because they are white and the bullies are not. Has anyone heard of this?

I just found out I accidentally took my ex-husband’s social security card, in April of 2020 when I moved out. It was in the file box with tax documents, and I got his tax documents out, but his card was in the front of the box, not the actual file. I just wonder now if he ever noticed it was missing.

Man, I wish recruiters would call me.

I suddenly have 4-5 bumps on my stomach. They don’t itch or hurt - if I had to say, I’d say they are slightly tender if pushed. I’ve never had a food allergy... is this a stress thing?

Looking for some advice. Initial interview with a google recruiter later this week. Any tips or anything that would be “different” in the process from a job in a regular industry role? Thank you

Has anyone been prescribed provigil? Adderall makes me too irritable to be sociable if I’m having a frustrating day. Thinking of trying something new

I have one doctor prescribing adderall and went to a different one for Zoloft. Is there any reason I would need to consolidate doctors? Each specialize in the respective field so feel fine having two.

Has anyone tried using an AI writing tool? I often have trouble focusing and formulating coherent content.

On 15mg adderall xr daily for ~1yr. When I’m consistent with it, i notice i lose things less and am a bit more organized, but don’t feel more energized/focused. Should i try something else?

Tips for not feeling like crap when taking a break to get tolerance down?

I have my First coaching session next week after my recent diagnosis (ADHD Combined Type). Anybody done this before? Best approach? How donI get the most out of this?

When going up in dosages (20mg to 40mg of vyvanse), will the affects be more substantial (ie i’m able to focus more intensely), or will I feel the same but the medication will just last longer (ie it lasts 6 instead of 4 hours)?

Good books on adhd?

Working on complicated case and sometimes forget/miss important details. Coming from non-business PhD background and ADHD aren’t helping. Any tools you use to consolidate large amounts of information?

Has anyone had the thought that we need to take meds because we aren’t doing what we’re meant to be doing or living the way we subconsciously know we should be?

Are we just forcing ourselves to conform to societal/personal expectations for a job that isn’t who we are?

Every task seems to take me much much longer than i estimate. If something is hard, i lose focus easily. Does anybody else face this? Any tips and techniques to tackle this?

ADHD and s e x with meds
Not sure how appropriate this is but… Curious to know the impact meds have on drive, performance and finishing time on others here (primarily male) 😂

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! :)

Anyone else literally waste sooooo much time bouncing thoughts around in their brain tryna zero in on one

I'm struggling at work and in the process of adjusting my meds, while simultaneously trying to fix some bad habits that I think came from burnout. I thought having a manager who has ADHD would be helpful. On the contrary, they don't seem to have a lot of empathy or patience for me. I think, in part, because they have theirs under control and are a high performer. Maybe they forgot what poorly controlled symptoms/adjustments feel like? Anyone else have similar experiences?

Females: Anybody feel like their ADHD gets worse on their periods?

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
