Do not remember the last time I had a night where I I'd not wake up sweating and extreme anxiety.

Doing consulting at the same time feels like doing life in "Super Hard" mode.....

It IS super hard. Try to get close to your anxiety, understand it’s cause(s) and how to manage it. Seek out a therapist and consider some anti anxiety meds. Good luck! Don't give up! It is super hard, you can do this.

Try to establish the boundaries of your work and personal life by focusing on your physical and psychological health. Try working out often and try some off the counter medication that is supposed to help your sleep like HTP-5. If the problem is serious enough try talking to a doctor/counselor. Stress is a sneaky bastard that has lot of latent effects.

ADHD medication with high Blood Pressure?

I found ADHD meds helpful when I worked in consulting in my 20s. I stopped the meds when I went back to school. Also have had High BP since late 20s. 15 years away, I am back in consulting and loving it, however my difficulties juggling so many projects/tasks is holding me back. I know I would benifit from some ADHD medication but my Dr won’t prescribe any with my history of BP (controlled with BP meds). Anyone else gone through this? Any tips?

How do you come out of your childhood trauma? I am turning 30. I had an alcoholic & abusive father (to my mother). He was very quiet and loving but when drunk he turned into a completely different person. I saw him coming home drunk daily, abuse my mother and I never really had a normal childhood. He died when I was 20.
How can I come out of this childhood trauma? Not a single day when I can't think about my childhood. Have affected my personality in different ways and still impacts my life.
