How to get ADHD diagnosed in aus?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Promotion year and not promoted due to COVID-19 VS. getting laid off: which one is worse?

I had an amniocentesis performed at 16 weeks and found out today (19.5 weeks) that the chromosome analysis and microarray to test for microdeletions came back normal.

Favorite workout programs?

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Hi Fishes,

I joined MS Bangalore office last month. In my offer letter it is mentioned that I'll get 2.5 lakh (gross up) one time relocation allowance. Can anyone tell me, when can i expect that money to be credited in my bank account ? I have already received my 1st month salary along with all other allowances.

P.S. i have also not received any goodies/welcome kit from MS ☹️

JPMC fishes, have a worrying thought, have you heard cases of offer being revoked or any slowdown you see in hiring ? With the current market conditions it is worrying to have just 1 offer in hand. Any insights on this would be helpful.
