I hyperfocus and dig around on the internet for solutions that are far too big for my excel challenge.

I found it hard at first. But over the years of constantly doing it, I've overcome the struggle and muscle memory just kicked in naturally. It's hard but not impossible. Good luck!

I don’t think it is an ADHD thing. I am great at Excel. One of the things that I feel very confident in at work. What specifically are you having difficulty with? If you are relatively new, a lot of getting good is just getting reps so you understand the capabilities and know the functions.

What about excel?

I can do only basic stuff in excel. As it gets more complex, using different functions, writing logical formulae I don’t get it.

I just stopped caring about it frankly

I have been struggling with juggling work and caregiving for my elderly parents who are at the point where they need constant help, however they refuse to believe they need to move to assisted living. I am struggling with keeping up with work and trying to have some semblance of a life outside of work and caring for them. I understand that caring for small kids can feel like this, but this is different. There is no moment of joy, it’s all kind of depressing. Looking for some wisdom of others.

"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

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. I find the vyvanse takes about 2h to kick in and so I try to take it by 6am otherwise I’m dealing with the “hitting me” feeling when at work (which has resulted in some really embarrassing situations). In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!
